Even though the 16th is the actual date of the holiday, our school let us off the 14-16th. By this, I mean we had to work on Saturday and Sunday the 12 and 13th to make up those days, but we still got them "off" for the Festival. This is what we've been doing this holiday. Packing.
Well, it actually only took us one full day to pack all that is pictured. Those bags are called "Rice Bags". I don't really know why, because they are not for toting rice around. People use them to move, actually. So, that's what we are using them for! We've got clothes, shoes, dishes, pots, and lots of other things in those bags! Ad you can see in the second picture, that is all the food/goodies we have not eaten and are saving for next year! (if we don't eat it before we leave) But we are going to tote it out to Xiasha, so we are leaving it in a suitcase. :)
This next picture is to show you what our naked walls look like now. If you remember this blog where I talked about putting up our Christmas Tree, you might be able to see where the tree use to be. Haha! We took it off the wall and it's really bare now!
We still don't move for another couple of weeks, but we are getting ready! We are excited to get home to see you all! Well, that's all I've got today! Thanks for reading and don't forget to think of me in China! I love you all!!
And "we" are excited for you to be home. I am trying really hard not to get too excited because I know how busy you all are going to be and how little we are probably going to get to be with you.
ReplyDeleteBut we will be so very thankful for the time we will have.
Glad you are packed and moved. I know that is a big relief.
I love you ! ! !
