Consolate Appointment Completed
Today was another big milestone day our appointment with the US Consolate was this morning and this is the appointment where they check our final US paperwork so they can issue her US passort and visa. What this means is that she can travel back to the US with us (a very good thing) and we don't have to stay in China any additional time (another very good thing). Tomorrow we go in for the official swearing in at the US consolate which is where we take an oath that all the information we've told them is true and accurate. Then we'll get her Us Passport and Visa and when we touch down in US Gracie will be a US Citizen (another very good thing!)
We have had one unfortunate situation occur. We have discovered that we are missing $1050. We think that somehow it was stolen either in Beijing or Nanning. Since We didn't need any extra cash in Nanning and because only part of the money was taken we didn't notice until we got to Guangzhou. We had hotel security check the video and key entries to our room but no one entered during the time in Guangzhou when it could have happened. So it had to happen before got here. There's a very remote chance we've misplaced it but that would be so unlikely its really not possible. Anyway, please pray that we get this resolved before we leave China. We have enough cash to get us by so its not an emergency. Just really disappointing.
Sarah and I are sitting in Starbuck's doing some homework.
We finished the day by going shopping and having dinner on Shiaman Island by the White Swan Hotel. We finished all of our gift shopping.
When we got home it was bath time for Gracie which is always fun time for her. Then when bath was done and Gracie was playing on the bed she started calling me daddy. Oh man she's really buttering me up!
Quick hitters:
They have weight loss products advertised on TV in China. It's really funny because they really have to work hard to make the before and after pictures look different. Let's just say that there aren't very many 'fat' people here.
The only American football highlight I've seen here was Brett Favre. He's big in China too, but Yao, Kobe and LeBron are more popular.
