Hello Friends and Family,
Well, we've got a week and a half before we are out of the country! We are busily preparing, trying to wrap up loose ends here and pack and prepare for our adventure there. As you can see, I have strategically laid out all of our luggage so that we can effectively place the items that are traveling with us in the suitcases this week. We hope to be all packed by the end of the week, so we can relax at Triangle Lake with our friends, and then do a final check and rest the last two days we're in the states.
Yesterday we had quite the day shopping. We were told by many people that it is hard to find our size shoes in China. So, after trips to Joe's, Payless Shoe store and Ross, we came away with 10 new pairs of shoes. Normally we would never ever buy that many shoes in one day, I usually have only two to three pairs of shoes ever, but since we are going to be in the land of little shoes, we decided we had best stock up. So, I think we have enough shoes...hopefully. We have two suitcases each, a carry on bag, and a personal item; a guitar for me and the laptop for Kealy. We might have to stuff our pockets with random items as well to take everything we want with us. It will be nice that we can buy a lot of items over there (i.e. hairdryers, razors, alarm clocks, etc.) but it has still been hard trying to downsize and fit everything in. Oh well, it's just stuff.
Sincerely,
Ryan and Kealy Thorson

Oh, good luck you two! Remember to bring toothpaste and deodorant with you. In Japan, at least, spray deodorant was the thing. Also, shaving cream may be helpful, too.
Matt and I are thinking of you! Enjoy your final days here in the states and we hope to see you in ASIA!!!!
Love,
Matt and Jen Samples
