First time for everything

We are first time bloggers. It seems everyone is doing it and we didn't want to be left behind. Yao and I are in transition right now. We just got back from a 6 week trip to China. We stayed with Yao's family and also traveled around the country to see some of our old students. I've attached pictures of some of the highlights.
School starts back up for me August 25th but I have to go back to work on the 13th. So I'm trying to soak up all the extra sleep and fun I can in the next couple weeks. Then it is back to the grind. Yao is preparing to take the GMAT while looking for a job. His aspirations are to work for the Post Office j/k.
The last of my family has just left for Alaska and Yao and I are ready to enjoy a house to ourselves. As you know, there are certain perks to living alone. It was a lot of fun having everyone here for awhile though.
Stay tuned for more excitement to come.
