2 weeks.

exactly 2 weeks until i come home. what? here's what's been going on in my life.

     

we decorate our apartment all cute and christmasy then invited our chinese teachers over for a little party! we had a hoot of a time.

they love their peace signs.


freda made us some nomnom chinese food! she made our fav dish. the tomato and egg....mmmmm she knows us too well!

this isn't depressing at all... 

fredaaaaa. she's the bomb. she is also super short.

this is one of our principals. in the beginning we were all really scared of her and we thought she didn't like us. turns out she just needs to warm up to you :)

they LOVED all of our decorations! they would pick up any little decoration and giggle then want a picture with it..hahah. so cute.

this is jet! he is our kung fu teacher. he is such a boss. i'm gonna miss him so much!

we played "pin the nose on santa" they thought it was HILARIOUSSSS. which it kinda was.

then we played a little game of musical chairs. i must say, they were quite intense about their musical chairs. made for some funny memories!

everyone who was at the party. we have such cute teachers!!

he is trying to look all serious and suave, but he was giddy and giggly alllll night.

no comment.

baaaahahahahahahahahahaa. she looks sooo awkward?!?!?!

now on to how i spent my saturday:woke up super early to take bridget to the bus stop in shiqi(an hour away.) she was going to zhuhai to go shopping with another group and we went with her to make sure she got there all right. we were right near mcdonalds.. so we had it for breakfast. duh...i think i have had mcdonalds more in this time i've been here in china than i have in my whole life... sick. as in awesome.

afterwards we decided to just stroll around shiqi since we aren't used to being in a large city. this was some chinese grafitti. dope.

this is our engagement picture. yes you are all invited to the wedding.  this was some memorial to this guy named sun yat sen. he is famous in this province. led some political revolution or something. i feel like i should know more about him...dangit.

we went shopping at this place called walking street! it is a more urban area than most. felt like we were at an outdoor shopping mall in america almost! so, i guess this mannequin thinks everyone is a loser. rude.

we got a little carried away trying on wigs at one store. hehehe. lady gaga, clown, and mermaid. yes. we are so cute right? right.

in china when people get married, they decorate their cars like we do in america! well.. not exactly how we do... they add their china flare to it. hahaha. gotta love the chinese.

schleepy time on the bus.

our nightly run to the convenience store. mandy looks.....nice.

aw. we are precious.

we went for a walk in a little village literally 50 ft from our apartment and saw this cute pup!

the xioulan girls came and viisited us, we love them. truly and deeply. bffz.

      
this is a pond thingy literally right behind our house... beautiful.

it was such a lovely walk! i enjoyed it very much. we are very blessed to live in such a beautiful area and have weather that permits us to still want to be outside!
anywho.. this is what i have been up to! hehe.
