This Is Not A Joke

April 1st we are coming home. We have also decided to relocate to Cincinnati closer to family & (old) friends, and affordable housing (you hear about the free $8000 from the oh-so-generous government for first-time home buyers as long as we buy before December?).

Due to recent price hikes in the Seattle Uhaul market, we are flying into Portland on the 1st at the exact same time as we leave Shanghai. Then we will drive our truck straight to Chipotle, before heading up to Seattle. We'll be spending a few days there seeing friends and getting our stuff out of storage before heading to Minnesota for a few more days to see Joel's family before ending up in Cinci on the 10th. Hopefully we recover quickly from the jet-lag.

We will have a cell phone upon arrival to Seattle so give us a call! (206-852-1759)

And lastly, here are some pictures from our last month here. We met an amazingly friendly girl from Anji (she does NOT go to this school, lucky for her) and she was kind enough to take us to several places we would never have gotten to go around here including some tours of authentic Chinese factories, one of which has supplied Office Depot and Walmart with swivel desk chairs. We also got to see the 2nd largest pumped-storage hydro power plant in the world, which basically means a giant man-made lake at the top of a mountain. Fascinating stuff!
