Next Post! China here we come!

This is old news for us, but I kept forgetting to post about it. We know where we are going after Latvia, to China!!! We are really excited, we actually found this out in March, but kept forgetting to post about it since it was so far away. Now we have more details. Originally they wanted us to go straight to China after our month break after Latvia, but now they want Kelly to have 8-9 months of Chinese training before getting over there. So we will be in DC for Lincoln's first year of school, then we head off to Beijing, China for 2 years, then to Chengdu for 2 years. So we have our lives planned out for the next 6 years. That is crazy. I am so glad we are going to be in DC for 9 months before heading to China for 4 years. I love this life, but I am really excited to be semi closer to family for a little while. Especially because kids grow up so fast!

That is awesome that we will be in the same area for a little while! We'll still be in Philly when you come back for Lincoln's first year of school, but Nate will graduate in January during Kita's first year & then I have no idea where we'll be!

How exciting! Maybe we'll have to come and visit you in China. You are brave to live in such foreign lands with little kids!

Hey, call me when you want to come back to Vienna Ward. I'll hook you up with the ward boundary list and make sure you end up back in the one true ward. :)

By the way, China sounds awesome!
