We're here! (Here is Yinchuan, Ningxia, China.) We're getting settled into our new apartment because we've moved across town to another university. We plan to post before and after pictures of the apt once there are after picts to be had.
N will start teaching on Tuesday of this week. K doesn't start until September 12th because she will be teaching Sophomores and they're in their obligatory army training now which will be rewarded with a week's rest before classes start. Don't pity her. She won't be bored.
We had a wonderful time in the States this summer. Thanks to all of those who hosted us/spent time with us. We really value that time. For those we didn't get to see, we wish we had had enough time to make all the rounds because we genuinely missed you.
We learned this morning that K's Grandma Weaver went to be with the Father on Friday around noon in PA. We are simultaneously relieved for her because she longed to go home and grieved because she was a gift to our family. The funeral is scheduled for Friday, September 7th.
We don't actually have access to the internet yet. We're borrowing from some gracious teammates. Hopefully, we'll be up and running soon and then we'll have more to say and more opportunity to say it, so for you who have been faithfully checking and finding only Texas BBQ for nearly a month, stick with us and we'll try to make it worth your trips to ddottodd.
