Welcome!

This is my first post. Today is my one year wedding anniversary! I can't believe it, it's been a whole year!

Tomorrow, Mike and I head off to San Fransisco for a few weeks to celebrate. We'll be visiting my father, camping, seeing the sights. On July 19th, I fly off to China with a group of teachers for another trip (see my other blog). Then on Aug 12th, I return to California and go right from there to Mexico for two more weeks of language school in Oaxaca.

So how am I feeling right now, on the eve of my departure for all these travels? I feel like I've packed too much, wondering if I've really learned enough Mandarin, I'm excited to go but sad to eventually be without my husband for 5 weeks, thrilled to be visiting a new part of the world, and very curious where my adventures will take me.

If you're curious too, check back in once in a while and see what I've posted.

Off I go!
