... girl time.

Ryan is off on another adventure in China. OK, so he will mostly be standing in factories, but it's all very exotic. The food is anyway.

We're grateful for email and phones and airplane tracking and Skype to check on him often.

Since I've blogged most of that before, today I am grateful for some mommy-Rachael time. After we dropped Ryan off at the airport, we went shopping at the mall and out to lunch. Tonight it's family night, so we will have popcorn and a movie, and maybe even paint our fingernails. (Binger-nails, as Rach would say.)

I've learned we need to do girl time early in the three week trip; after a few days we get a little tired of each other. But I'm grateful we get to spend some time together!
