July Update

Wow, July 18 already.  Where is the time going?  I just returned from spending a week out at Pioneer Camp and it was a blast.  I was cooking in the kitchen again, but some of my favorite camp people were there visiting at the same time so it was just fantastic to be able to spend time with them.  I went on one memorable evening of paddling and made some delicious treats in the kitchen.  I will be heading out to the island again next week, but until then I will just be enjoying time with my family at the cabin.  I am trying to soak up all the moments while I can because my departure date is quickly creeping up on me.  

I was in Winnipeg yesterday, and got the paperwork sent off for my entry Visa to CHINA.  Most days I am really excited about my coming departure, but other days I wonder what exactly I am getting myself into.  I start to feel a little overwhelmed or unsure of what I will face when I get there.  But that is all part of the adventure I guess.  

SO yeah, summer will continue to involve special people and relaxation as I know my upcoming position in China will keep me hopping and wishing for a break sometimes and also wishing for the clean, clear air of Manitoba!

Hopefully you will keep reading as this blog will soon be a pretty exciting place with pictures and updates from my Chinese adventure.
