This blog was intended to be an electronic diary for Andee and I to share. When this blog was first created, I never made myself post. Today, I am remedying that fact. A great deal has happened since Andee last posted. She is now married to the man of her dreams, Jerry.

Jerry is originally from Beijing. He is sweet, kind and he absolutely dotes on my sister. I couldn't have dreamed up a better Prince Charming for her. I am so happy I could cry. (Again.) On March 8th, 2012, Jerry and Andee will be having a renewal of vows ceremony. It is a very auspicious day for both of them and Jerry's parents will be able to witness the ceremony.

Jerry's parents will be coming from China around the end of February. I am very excited for when they arrive. I have been taking Chinese for almost 5 months now. I have learned so much already! I hope I will soon be able to speak fluently in Chinese.

In June, my family and I will travel to China for Andee's second wedding ceremony for all of Jerry's family and friends. I am extremely excited for this trip. I am trying to arrange to stay in China and go to school. If I get accepted, I will be in China for 13 months! Talk about total immersion.

I really want to go to Beijing Language and Cultural University. I would only be an hour from Jerry's parents by subway. I am hoping to get a scholarship as well as receive credit from Utah State University while I am there. I can't wait! I just need a passport number to fill out all of these applications. This once in a lifetime trip is all I have been able to talk about since Christmas!

TTYL!
