Exciting News!

I'm going to Hong Kong!

Originally, I was going to be going on a short business trip this weekend. We were going to go to one of our factories that is 4 hours away, leaving on Thursday and returning on Friday. Neat, I thought, but more for the experience considering I wouldn't be much help. Plans changed though, as they always seem to! Due to some confusion and paperwork delays, Denise and the family all have to go to Hong Kong to get their visa's renewed. Turns out they can't even book their flights without having 1 adult to every 2 kids. It seems ridiculous, but there isn't really time to get around it. Ere go, I get to go to Hong Kong with them! It'll be quite a trip for just a weekend, but I'm excited! We'll leave Ningbo tomorrow (Thurs) around 2pm and drive the 3 hours out to Shanghai where we'll meet up with Troy to catch our flight to Hong Kong. I don't think we're coming back until Monday, so I'm sure we'll end up going to the branch there. When the girls found out I was coming they exploded in cheers (which no doubt made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside), so we should have a fun weekend.

I've been told to count my blessings because it's more like I'm on a vacation than an internship. Believe me, I'm counting! I keep thinking about how everything about coming and being here has been laid out so perfectly. I know this is definitely where I am supposed to be right now; it just furthers my conviction that everything happens for a reason. I'm learning invaluable lessons and am excited for my remaining 5 1/2 weeks!
