Let's just put that behind us

My lack of blogging recently is an indication of how OSP went-it was much harder than I expected, harder than the previous OSP, and harder than I could have imagined. Even with all the preparations I had made, it was really hard. But Andy is home now and I am so grateful. So I kinda want to put OSP behind me and pretend it never happened. Actually, by God's grace, I was able to spend time with him each day and to shower-two factors that highly influenced my survival during the time Andy was away. I'll spare you all the details but suffice it to say, I am so thankful I'm not a single mom. Now, let's move on to happier topics.

Did I tell you Andy is home? Yes I did. Ok, what else? Did I tell you we've had two major Chinese holidays this week? Here goes- It was the 60th Anniversary of the country on Thursday and it was Mid Autumn festival today. Usually these two holidays don't fall so close together but since they do and since it's the 60th anniversary of the country, lots of people are off from work for 8 days. We received and gave moon cakes for Mid Autumn Festival and I am pretty sure ours won't get eaten just like the ones we gave out. It's so weird, but no one really even like moon cakes but it's a must to give them anyway. Did I tell you that someone in our apartment complex bought a really loud rooster this week to eat for Mid Autumn festival?? It was alive and making it's presence known for a few days before the holiday. It's gone now I think. Did I tell you we bought AN AWESOME camera today and it will be here in two weeks? I am so thrilled. It is a digital SLR camera, which takes great photos and has a video feature that does up to 20 minutes of video. So I am hopeful that we'll put more videos on the blog!

Did I tell you that it's 8:17pm and I'm gonna go to bed?
