I love Milk!!!

So this past weekend there was this tv performance that was put on by a milk company in this province. So before I sang my song there was this "interview" portion that they gave me a script for...essentially they wanted me to say how much I love milk, especially milk from the city where I live. They wanted me to say how great the flavor is and all this other cheesy stuff...luckily when it came down to it, the script was thrown out the window. So the act before me was like 30 little kids dressed up in the local attire singing and dancing...they were super cute. After the actual performance they got brave and I was mobbed by 30 kids pracitcing the 5 sentences of English they knew...Do you like China? Where are you from? Do you like bananas? What is your name? I got asked the same questions over and over again for about 20 minutes. Life in China is never dull.

Still Breathing...

Many of you may have thought that I have fallen off the face of the earth...but the truth is, I'm still alive and kicking. About 3 weeks ago my hommie C left the city, and that was really hard. Here is a pic of us at the airport before all the tears began flowing...don't you like his hat? It's definitely really different without him here, and it was really hard at first...but I am doing much better now. I am a working woman now...no more school for this girl. It's been a nice change for me. It's REALLY hard to believe that I have only 4 more months left in this city. Of course there are things and more important than that, people, that I can't wait to see back in the states...but recently I'm realizing how incredibly difficult it is going to be to leave this place...these people that I have fallen in love with and can truly call my heart friends. I guess Father will help me to cross that bridge when I come to it, but the thing is that I know it's going to come up much quicker than I can imagine. I guess you really know you've truly given yourself to a place, to people when it really hurts to let go.

Howdy Ho First Snow!

Yep, it snowed today!
Just a sneak peak at the weather we love so much :)

Ross & I went to 2 garage sales this morning where 'reps' where selling their new 'gear'. I got some new snow pants and ross got a whole durable yellow suit (jacket & pants) to tow in the winter months! It's easy to buy when the snow is fallin. Pray for it to warm up--3 days ago I was out walking in a tank-top. Today I'm sitting by the fire drinking hot tea.

Mr. Giggle Box
