Today is March 17, most commonly known as St. Patrick's Day. But better yet, today is Morgan and Tanner's wedding!!!! Morgs is awesome, beautiful, talented, and the greatest friend. Honestly I feel bad for you if you've never had the pleasure of meeting/loving this girl. I so wish I could've flown home for the wedding but I'm already stoked to see them in August. Anyway just thought they deserved a shout out. Have the perfect day guys! Love you!
You know at home when you come home after a long day and a shower sounds like the most refreshing thing in the world? And then you get out and wrap up in a fresh, dry towel? And then get in your soft, comfy bed and catch up on some Netflix with a delicious midnight snack solely consisting of a huge bowl of Turkey Hill mint choco chip ice cream? Yeah, not in China. The water stays hot for 3 minutes max. if it even bothers to get hot at all. You have to hold the shower head because the mount makes it spray all over the walls and toilet rather than on you. Plus its so dang humid my towel hasn't dried in a month...I don't care how hot it is in DC in June. That's the first thing I'll do is take a long, blazing hot shower and then hit up Pomodoro's Pizza. It may be 3 months out but I am already so excited to do that. China really is cool and I'm grateful I get to be here experiencing a place that is so opposite from America but man, home has all the luxuries.
Guess what?!?!?! My parents are coming to China!!! Josh might be coming too! How cool is that?? Never in a million years did I ever think I'd find myself living in China or ever visiting with my family! May 3 can't come soon enough! They'll be here for almost 2 weeks and I'm pumped to travel with them and to just see them! We'll be spending a week in Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an before we head back down to Zhongshan. Then we'll head to Western China somewhere for the weekend after I teach. I'll be able to have my parents meet the kids I'm teaching!! How cool is that?? I'm thousands of miles from home and I still get to share something so cool and different than anything I've ever done with the people who made me who I am. My mom told me it was weird I'm so excited to see them because I've never really been a homebody. Guess China will do that you haha. Plus I have already accumulated a list of things I need/want her to bring from home.
Also March Madness starts tomorrow!! I hope y'all have filled out your brackets!
"Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing."
On a China note we have a district conference in Shenzhen this weekend and I'm honestly so excited! It'll be such a cool experience to go to something like that in China. The Church is so cool and true that I'm all the way in China and it's still the same! Plus the hotel with a pool, gym, and a REAL(ish) shower we're staying at won't be too shabby either. And a sister in our ward is taking us to Sam's Club to buy some American snacks because we're fresh out. I definitely didn't think I'd blow through those so fast. Crossing my fingers they have Dr. Pepper and Brookside Berries. Oh, and milk. It's weird the things you crave when you don't get them for a while.
