It's official! We got the e-mail of where we are going- Yangzhong, Jiangsu Province. We will go to the Yanzhong experimental school teaching elementary to Jr. High kids. We'll leave Aug. 21st, spend a week in Beijing, and get situated in our apartment in Yangzhong on the 29th. I was so excited to get the e-mail that I was squealing for joy. We are looking forward to being able to leave the country and experience new things and new people. We were talking about the food that we will be able to eat and we are both excited to try new things, but nervous at the same time. Jon will love it because he just can't get enough Chinese food.

We will be near our friends Alan and Heidi Green and we will probably get to know the other three girls that are going to be teaching in the same area pretty well. It finally seems a little more realistic that we are going now that we have a flight itinery and a destination.

As you can see, we will be visiting San Francisco, South Korea, and of course Beijing. On our way back we will also go through Shanghi.

It will be exciting to do all of this. I can't wait!
