I don’t really know how to describe how Jackie and I are feeling, other than exhausted. Neither of us have recovered from the trip to Arkansas and my trip to Iowa last week. Take getting ready to move half way around the world while potty training, keeping a crawler off of the stairs, dealing with an array of business issues, cramming every possible moment in with family, getting last minute supplies, and there seems to be a few reasons for stress.
Overall, we are doing fine. We’ve been planning this for months, and most things are being taken care of without substantial effort. (At this point, I will shamelessly ask for your prayers!)
Jackie’s mom met a woman who moved out of our apartment complex in Shanghai over the summer. This is good, as they have exchanged several emails covering things such as:
· You can’t get dental floss;
· You can’t get vitamins;
· Contact names and numbers for an ayi; and (very important to Jackie),
· The location of the closest Starbucks
I’ll be honest and tell you not to expect many posts between now and the second week of March. It seems that we have our hands full (this is a literal problem in the airport – we’ll try to send pictures so you can have a good laugh on us)!
Even if we are a bit tired, we’ll probably take in an episode of American Idol. Kind of like dental floss and ravioli, this is in short supply in Shanghai.
