Sorry for our long absence. This past month has been extremely busy for us as I (kelly) finished my thesis and degree (yay!) and we flew to North Carolina to visit family and friends. We had a wonderful time with the McPhails over Christmas and then headed to the Kidders for the week after. It has been fun to see long time friends as well... what a treasure.
Brian flew back home to Pasadena yesterday for work and I am staying in North Carolina for another week working remotely and taking some time to visit my sister Brittany and her husband Ryan and help them with last minute preparations before "baby e" makes his appearance in the next few weeks! Britt called today and said they might induce next week so that would mean I will be an auntie in less than two weeks! We are all waiting and praying for a healthy baby boy though.
On Sunday, the McPhail family will all meet up in Miami for a week long cruise in the Caribbean to Key West, Cayman Islands, and Jamaica! We are pretty excited to see some warm weather and spend time with Brian's family and relatives. It looks like we will have the chance to para-sail and "snuba" (a combo of snorkeling and scuba diving... not sure how that works out?).
As we look ahead to the new year, there are many exciting changes coming our way including new jobs and preparations to move back to China. Although we do not yet have a time line for some of these changes, we eagerly wait and pray for what God has in store.
On a less than serious note, my new year's resolution is to get Brian to drink more water since he is always slightly dehydrated. He said that it didn't count because I can't make a resolution for someone else but I'm going to try anyways! No resolutions for me this year. Changes seem to come more gradually for me and they aren't typically based on the time of the year. For instance, I stopped chewing my fingernails this year. I know you all wanted to know that but hey, this was a huge resolution as I have been chewing them since I had fingernails, which would be almost 30 years! Anyhow, enough on that... happy new year to everyone and hopefully we will be up and blogging again here soon :)
