Welcome to our brand new blog! Take off your shoes, get comfortable, and stay a while. Eric and I are excited to share all our adventure with you: our family and friends. In the off chance that you've been living under a rock, Eric and I are moving to Shenzhen, China. Shenzhen is right next to Hong Kong, on the southern edge of China. We're very excited for the adventures ahead. When are you going to China, you might ask. That's a great question, I might answer. The plan was to leave this week, but we had some visa hiccups. We're waiting on the final word before we buy plane tickets. In the mean time, we've had quite a few adventures. First thing's first... packing up up the house. Holy cow, it was a crazy process. I really don't know where all this stuff came from, but apparently we have a lot.
We had the movers here last week. Eric's company had our stuff packed up and shipped to china in a container. Nice huh! The part that made it interesting, was that we had to sort through all the stuff first. We had to decide what went on the shipping container, what went on the air container, what got put in the storage unit, and
what got hand carried in our luggage. After the china stuff got sent off to the wild blue yonder, we took several truck/trailer loads to the storage unit (pictures to come) with the rest of our furniture. June 30th was the last day in our house. Our entire family came to help us with the cleaning and other last minute projects. We were so grateful for all their support. We said goodbye to our beautiful house and handed the keys off to our amazing renter. Now, we're living at Eric's parent's house until we ship off.
