To Three or Not To Three??

Wow, really long time since my last post! But don't I always say that? As I type this, I'm relaxing in Raleigh with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew. This semester FLEW by in a flash- lots of great stuff, topped off by a visit from my parents. Those of you who know Bev and Dwight know that this was no small feat. I had a great time showing them my China life and watching them interact with this foreign culture that's become so familiar to me. They did wonderfully, and were using chopsticks like professionals by the time they left. A couple snapshots:

But the real reason that I'm back on the blog is that it occurred to me that many of you might not have any idea what I'll be doing once summer is over. Will I be returning for year #3 in Langfang, or moving on to a new adventure? To three or not to three, that is the question. What do you think, do you have a guess?
Well you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right, and those of you who guessed "three" are correct. Yes, I am going back to Langfang! It did take a little longer to come to this conclusion this past year, but I am no less confident in my decision. I've only been back in the States for 10 days, and I'm already missing my home and looking forward to getting back there. I shouldn't be surprised; I've spent the majority of the past 2 years over there, so why wouldn't it feel like home? Either way, no matter what, I'm excited and ready to see what #3 has in store for me- definitely feel like the Big Man's not done with me yet. Thanks to all of you who are taking the ride with me- the adventure continues!
