Boxes, Boxes and More Boxes

So, I guess we are really moving to China. The packers are here today, reducing my life to boxes. And, tomorrow I get to watch them load it onto a container, where it will stay for the next couple of months. I joked with the nice women doing all the wrapping and packing that the next time I'll use my china I'll be in China. Lame, I know, but I'm committed to staying positive about this. We are so lucky to have the opportunity to experience a whole new world. I am hit with bouts of nerve wracking fear, but in my heart of hearts I know this is right.

Thankfully, the girls aren't around to witness their personal treasures being wrapped up. My gosh, if they were, the poor ladies would never get things done. They are spending some time down at Mimi and Papa's. I drove them to Columbia after Katie's Girls' Golf beach party. The party was at Keowee Key. Mrs. D (in the picture with Katie to the right) has invited Katie to play 9 holes next Tuesday, just the two of them. She was beaming! I'll go get her next Monday as that is when the big tournament is. The twins will stay down for another week. We met my parents at the mall, loaded up their car (with our Wii for safe keeping while we're abroad) and headed back to our respective homes. My dad bought some second hand bikes and is going to teach the girls how to ride them. I'm anxious to hear how that goes. Larry and I have promised we'd buy them bikes over in China as EVERYONE rides bikes.

Everything is rolling along, a little faster than my liking, but I think we're all just ready to get over there. The girls will start school ten days after we arrive. Larry will be working in Dailan, which is about 900 miles away for the first few months, and I'll be settling in, hopefully...
