Hello Friends and Family,
Well, its getting more official by the week. Today, we bought our plane tickets for the trip, sealing the deal even tighter. We are going to be leaving on the morning of August 18 at 9:20 AM from PDX airport. We will arrive in Nanning at 11:45 PM on Sunday night. The total trip is 23 hours long, with the longest flight from Vancouver, B.C. to Beijing. It will be a very long plane trip, the longest I have ever taken, but I will have a great traveling companion:] Kealy has finished her time in the classroom, has passed her CBEST class and is fastly approaching completion of her official schooling. Speaking of fastly approaching, Sine Die (or adjournment) is imminent at the Capitol. The projected finishing date is next Friday or Saturday and I will work 3 or 4 days the following week. We will be moving back into Sandy with Mom and Dad on the weekend of June 30-July 1. We had a great time last night at a gigantic staff party from the capitol with more than 500 people attending and a great time to recap and remember all the hilarious moments of this session. Fortunately, no one made fun of the Sergeant-at-Arms, though it wouldn't be hard. Anyways, gotta run. Kealy is going to cut my hair so I can look decent for our 'graduation weekend'. We had a terrific party in Sandy last weekend to celebrate our completion and Michelle adventure ahead in Tahoe, and this week we get to walk the walk and acknowledge each other's hard work. Thanks for tuning...We'll get some grad pics up later. Leave a comment if you have a question or suggestion for the blog.
Sincerely,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson
