So....I'm moving to CHINA!!!

This summer has gone by SO extremely fast!!  As I have been entangled with getting my shipping all straightened down (imagine trying to fit your life into five 22 gallon buckets...) I have also been working through intensive online training for my new job. It is a different kind of busy and I have had the opportunity to slow down and actually experience some down time of 'vacation.' And I tell you, it sue is all it's cracked up to be...I should have tried this sooner.  ;)

Anyways, as I was working through one of my assignments last night, it occurred to me....in a little over two weeks (16 days to be exact) I am going to be on a plane to CHINA!!! Wowza! You know that feeling when you realize something is coming that logically you knew was coming, but now it's here???  All this preparation has kept me so busy I have not had much time to think about it, but reality is coming and it is coming quick!! Don't get me wrong here, I am VERY excited about this move and experience. It has just been a realization that is hard to ignore. I'm really going to miss my parents and the rest of my family. To those whom we have spent years seeing on a consistent basis, it's hard to imagine that in the fall I will not be starting with the 'ole Bordeaux staff, living in the quaint little town of Shelton. Instead, I start school mid-August!! in the BIG CITY of Beijing!

Change. We can handle it, we are adaptable by nature, but dramatic changes (and even small ones) can really put you in a tumbler. How do we adjust to things we do not know? They say you don't know what you don't know...that's where I am. I am not scared of this change, I am not nervous. I just honestly don't know what I don't know. I have gotten more and more adaptable to changes over the years and thrive on finding myself in new situations. I have a strong personality (mostly due to the experiences God has granted me with to make me strong) and a desire to live, learn, and experience. I can honestly say my son is exactly like me. :)

Change is coming and quick. For now, off to crafts with my mom and son.
