Life happens. Many things in life happen. Work happens. Many things at work happen. An engagement happened. And a wedding. But before that, planning happened. Lots of wedding planning. And work asked us to relocate to China. More planning. And more planning. And even more planning that you could EVER begin to imagine!
I won't say get used to frequent posts but I will say that I will try harder. When our move date is upon us, I will try even harder to post much, much more frequently to keep all our dear friends and family up to date of our adventure abroad. So I believe it is time to retire this blog and move forward. Stay tuned for "Our Married Adventure" and the journey that lies ahead!
Until then, enjoy this big, bad blog dump over the past year of two singles that finally got hitched! :)
In April we head back to VEGAS!
Stopped at the state line to see if we could find coin slots for Mr. B - no luck :(
It was a 'bros weekend' in VEGAS!
But I got girl time in too with Michelle! :)
B finally found his his coin slots in old town.....
And the trip ended like this.....
Poor Focus, she lost a window!
Good think she has a mechanic as a 'part owner'.....poor baby.....

My first visit to Hong Kong and Shanghai for work!
'It's a Small World' in Hong Kong Disneyland!
Some weird drink I was given after my massage at our hotel....
Needed that massage after the 15hour flight!
Not sure about the drink.....
Fun drinks with co-workers!
Gorgeous city with beautiful different fruits and foods!
Then to Shanghai where my phone clearly knew we weren't in the US anymore!
Shanghai!
Chinese Corona!
And a visit wouldn't be complete without a visit to a factory with floor toilets!
I had to ask my co-worker how to use it!
