So China...

So yeah, I was talking to my dad today about random stuff, you know hurricanes, flight plans, electical outlets and what not and realized that in a week Megan and I are going to be off to China.  So much has been going on with Megan starting work and the college ministry at Shandon being in full swing.  I knew that things had changed when I left home at 6pm and did not get back until a little after 10pm.  So China, hadn't really thought a lot about it but it is coming and it is coming quickly.  My family is celebrating my Grandmother's 90th birthday, yeah count 'em 90 years, by taking a family trip to China.  I am talking uncles, aunts, cousins, the whole shabang.  It will be like the "Asian" party bus to our wedding except on a plane for 16 hours to China.  Megan and I are really excited about going and the best part about it is that we will see it with my family.  People often ask us are we going to see the Great Wall, Bejing, etc...  Well we aren't and though a part of me is bummed, I am excited about seeing the China my family knew.  We are going to see where my Grandmother and Grandfather lived, where my mom was born, you know family stuff.  As being the first born in America, sometimes it is hard for me to relate to my heritage, and I am hoping that this trip will connect me a little more to it than I was before.  So pray for us as we prepare to travel half way around the world to a place we have never been and where Megan will tower above everybody!  :-)  7 days to go!
