ok, back on the air. alot has happened in the last couple days. first i remembered that i forgot my power cord for the laptop, so yeah, battery died. we went sight seeing through beijing; great wall, forbidden city, summer palace, jade factory, pearl place.... etc etc etc. i actually tried to eat some chinese food... yeah exactly. flying isnt near as bad as i had thought all these years so i think i am over it. we flew out of beijing and into nanchang today. came to the hotel and kinda settled in and got "the call" to come downstairs and get our Abi. we finalized the paperwork today and as far as China is concerned, she belongs to us. stopped at a pizza hut and eat on the way back and Mary, me and our driver went on a little errand to go find me a new charger. it works obviously or i wouldnt be typing here now. Abi still hasnt quite got used to the idea that these people are gonna be here for her and she is still pretty much crying uncontrollably, but its not as bad as it first was. post some pictures here in a few, i gotta go make a bottle... keep praying
