We finally returned from our home leave in the States. It was great to be home and to catch up with all our family and friends. We truly are blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. It was really hectic and seemed like we were always on the run. The highlight of the summer was getting Kate off to college. We took her up to Muncie on August 25th and expected for it to be one of those terribly sad life events. However, by the time we hauled all her stuff up there, waited hours for the elevator, unpacked, picked up books, applied for a parking permit, and finally paid her tuition...well, we didn't have the energy for any tearful goodbyes. Kate's classes started last Monday and it sounds like everything is going well for her.
Here in Shanghai, we've been busy betting back in the groove. Emily went back to school this week. They had a really late start due to the Olympics, which doesn't make sense because Beijing is something like 600 miles from here. Work didn't slow down at all while I was away and now I'm running around trying to catch up with everytnhing. And Kristi has started some distance ed classes thru Franklin University. We're also getting settled into our new apartment. Sally came in and unpacked while we were gone. Now we just need to figure out where she put everything. And it's not just the things we moved from our other apartment that are lost - I can't find some shirts I brought back from the States. Maybe I should check the refrigerator since that's where she likes to put everything else. Maybe my shirts are behind the peanut butter and pancake syrup.
