The Final Countdown!!

So sorry that it's been a while- there really wasn't any China news for a while, and then all of a sudden things got crazy busy and information started flying all over the place. The latest news is that I'm leaving for China on Wednesday- THIS Wednesday! Ahhhh! It's exciting and terrifying at the same time. Exciting because the time is finally here, and I can't wait to get over there and start doing what I've been talking about for so long. Terrifying because the time is finally here! Not to mention that I have not started packing just yet. First I have to make it to my parents' house with all my stuff, then unpack it all, then re-pack the best 100 lbs I've got. We'll see how that goes!
Please keep me in your thoughts over the next week- and especially next Wednesday as I fly from Charleston to DC, and then on to Beijing. The next time you hear from me, I'll probably be in China!!
