summary of happenings in Austin, Orlando, Lockhart, Minneapolis & Houston
The trip back to the states lasted for forty-two days. Before I went I thought it might be too long. Once I arrived back in Texas and got adjusted to the time I knew the trip should have been shorter. I have a new life that I am making in Beijing and to be gone for forty-two days in a row seriously puts a kink in all of my new relationships. I had a great time. Knowing that my time was limited I made very efficient use of it. I could have stayed longer. The trip lasted so long that I started not even missing my China world. The three major events that I scheduled were: my mother’s surprise birthday party on October 16, my Minneapolis trade show the week of October 23 and then my Florida trade show the week before Thanksgiving. The scheduling of these events stretched my trip out.
Now, being back in Beijing with a knee that is finally healed and being on the time schedule again I am settling back into life in my new world.
