Post too

Since Laug Vern asked us to post, I felt moved to post, too.

It's 2 am. Josh is sleeping, but I just woke up. Last night, I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 7:30 am. Thought my body has finally switched over, but got home today at like 6. Josh went to go get dinner and by the time he came back, I was asleep. Too drowsy to wake up to eat... 6pm - 2am, hmmm, that's 8 hours of sleep. Man, I'm in trouble!

You know what's really annoying? When you're trying to sleep and other people are making loud noises! Josh is really good at that these days. Like he brought kis electric guitar and he loves playing it. It's not plugged inbut he still plays is real loud and hard and it makes me crazy. And last night, I was sleeping and he was watching Cape Fear. I don't remember what that movie was since it's old, but it has lots of scary sound effects, and in turn, I started having scary dreams because I was sleeping and my ears could still hear the sounds.

How are we right now really?

HOT!

It's 97 degrees with a heat index of 111 and Shanghai is swampier than IL. It's survival just from one classroom to the next!

School starts on Tuesday. It's exciting. I have a class that is 2/3 boys; 7 out of 22 is only girls. I worried they will be very naughty or ADD like. Josh has some of his old students. We're both doing more work this year because we're returning teachers, but that's ok.

I wish we could respond to peoples' posts, but we can't. So here will have to do..

We'll start P90 after our orientation this week. (Saturday) Also, sculping exercises are my favorite. For you those of you who are doing P90, remember you have to take a picture of yourself every 2 weeks just like they say so you can see the changes. Don't forget to get Judy and Jimmy a copy of it if you out there can!

And we're so happy Linda and them can visit Mom and Dad. We hope that before the end of the year, or at latest next spring, Laug Vern and fam and Sarah will have a chance to visit them too. That's what they really need right now most, I think.

Love you guys so much!

Hi Mai Kao and Josh! Changs here! We heard about your 'fun' day at the airport but so glad that you made it home safely. Been thinking about you guys lately. Missions conference is this week too. You guys are usually involved in some sort and it's sad that you aren't here or talking to us over SKYPE:( But, Riley and Kameron did wear the Chinese outfits that you guys bought them :) I pray that the school year starts out with a big bang for you guys :) Love you both!
