trace

(a picture depicting movement... i took it from a taxi in urumqi at night.) (i really need to move on from the urumqi pictures. maybe some random pictures of us are in order? i'll see what i can come up with- b/c posts are definitely a lot more fun with photos!)
one more document : check. the referral acceptance letter arrived (at the same time as our visas, no less) with a song of thanksgiving from mother. the letter was at the house long enough to be signed, dated, a box checked and copied, then stuffed into another envelope and taken the the fedex drop box. tomorrow it will be delivered to our agency, and within the day be sent off to china. china will have the envelope by the end of the week and we will be one teensy step closer to the eagerly anticipated travel approval.
leave a comment with your opinion: blue gingham or pink for the duvet cover for jade's newly decorated room (pale yellow walls, blue carpet, multicolored paisley coverlet)? then, what color gingham for the lamp shade (the lamp will be white)? this transformation is still very much in the planning process :)...
