Last Thursday I was blessed to see Joseph, who came for the May holiday! That same day later in the evening my brother, Nathan, and his wife, Ellen came. What an exciting day?Nathan and Ellen hit the ground running. They came to participate in a Concert for our school. The concert was a huge success, We needed to sell 140 tickets and we sold 157, we needed ot be finished by 8:45 (transportation and facility requirments) we finished at 8:30. Just a great night, PLUS i got to play my horn with my brother and his wife, what a treat, sometimes I really do MISS playing.
The day after the concert we went to Beijing, which was crazy because we were there on May holiday which is crazy... on the day that we were going to the great wall we could not find the bus that we needed to take and then Joseph finally called and found where it was however, we only had 5 minutes to get there.. So if you can imagine this, 3 white people and 1 Chinese person, running in the streets of Beijing in order to catch the bus.. Oh did i mention we were running right next to Tiananmen square? Yup, we were basically the new "main attraction" haha! So we ran only to sit on a bus for 4 hours, lovely May holiday traffic.
The day we tried to go to the Forbidden city we were actually forbidden to go inside, hahaha it was pretty funny, we only figured that out after we had walked for like an 1 around the whole outisde of the city. haha
So we finally returned to Wuhan after 3 days in Beijing (2 nights), we were exhausted but I still had to go to work that morning :- ) Work was okay I found out that I will be moving houses and that my new roommate will be Jenny the art teacher,, YEAH! It should be a fun year!
Lets see whatelse has happened? haha There were actually many funny things that happened however, I will wait so that you guys can hear first experience from Nathan and Ellen them selves.
This last month is pretty crazy busy, this weekend is the art show, next week sports banquet, 20th field day, 27th graduation, 3rd of june is the last day of classes..
