Last Night in USA!!!

It's odd to think about, but the next time Alex and I will be in the states will hopefully be in December (keep your fingers crossed that we get the time off!) for Scott and Anna's wedding in Vegas. We spent some time with Alex's parents, pawned the buns off on Alex's brother and sister in- law, and drove with his sister Tina, and baby Jason to Albany to see Grandma Clum and the Siamons. We are now at Dan and Debbie Hansen's house watching the Olympics, and we had the pleasure of meeting baby Will Hansen. We have technically been homeless for over a month, and although it's been really hard not having much time alone, I feel very fortunate that so many people have let us stay with them. I guess we can't expect people to feed us anymore... I'll have to take some cooking classes in Shanghai so I'll know what to get at the market. Alex has been pretty much fearless through all of our preparation, and I have been less confident, but at this moment, I am so ready to start teaching, and finally have a place to come home to every night. Wish us a safe flight. We leave at 2:30 pm tomorrow, have a 10 hour flight to Tokyo, then after a 2 hour lay over, there's another 3 hours to Shanghai. I'll write whenever we have some down time.
