Got Brinlee's Visa and ready to head to U.S.

We got up bright and early Wednesday morning and headed to the Consulate.  We were told we couldnt bring any camera's or anything so we didnt and didnt get to get any pictures.  We had Brinlee dressed in red,white and blue.  She looked so cute but we never took any pics.  We had the craziest bus driver yet and he made me so nervous that I was pretty much a wreck the rest of the day.  (along with really ready to come home) We shopped and talked to alot of the store keepers all evening long and went out to dinner with some other families.   We really have learned that most of the Chinese ways come off very very rude but there are exceptions.  We have met some of the sweetest christian ladies and men in these stores.  We could sit and talk with them for hours.  We got up late this morning and are packing our bags as I type.  We are finally heading out of China and back to the good ol USA.  It is going to be a long journey home but I am glad we are headed home.   We will be flying out tonight to Hong Kong then to Tokyo then to Chicago.  I am going to try and get some pics tonight when we go out to dinner of some of our friends we have made here.  I might get to post in Hong Kong or Chicago. Brinlee is doing really good today she is finally starting to respond to Brinlee for her name.  We love her very much and cant wait for Brooke and Blake to meet her.  She is funny and very very intellegent.  We cant wait for her to start speaking better English because she communicates so well with all the Chinese people. Talk to you soon.
