Greetings family, friends, and fans of The Crew! MamaD has asked me to be a guest blogger as I will be joining her on the last leg of this roller coaster journey to get to Ji-Ji. So, instead of wondering who the dingle berry in the photo is next to their little sweet pea in China, you'll know it is MamaD's travel companion. A pleasure to meet/blog with you. If you are involved in any way, shape, or form with this wonderful family, then you must also be wonderful too! If I should be so lucky to be an honorary "Aunt" to these girls then you may want to know some basics about me.
For starters, my name is Heidi and I'm a Junior at a local university. I'm studying Social Sciences to later pursue grad school to become qualified as an academic adviser or teacher at the college level. I met MamaD and MissE while working at the amphitheater (and later IBoy too.) My dog, Penny is 5 and she might just be the most spoiled Cocker Spaniel west of the Mississippi. Well, maybe not more than Oprah Winfrey's Cocker's but... pretty close, I'm sure. I'm from a small town in Oregon. I currently live in SW Washington and work at a popular coffee house as a barista.
Most recently however, I've been spending time in town a couple of hours away, where my love, Brandon, has moved to for a job. WARNING: I am a cheesy, hopeless romantic! He's a chemist and is handsome, respectful, and sweet taboot! I am thankful and feel lucky every day to have met him. Alright, alright, I'll stop. ;)

As someone who has had the sheer delight of travelling with the McNews (we're Chick a Dee alumnus from '08), I can confirm you are in for an awesome trip! They were the cherry on top of our trip to bring home our daughter. Have an amazing time!
Goodness, I don't believe that I have every had the opportunity to comment on my own blog! What a delightful surprise I had this morning to see my sweet friend's face on my blog and her lovely introduction! Although Heidi and I met only this past summer, she is a kindred spirit, a sweetheart, yes a hopeless romantic (I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her honey, but feel as though I know him from the little bits that Heidi has shared with me - Brandon, you are terrific, and just a hint - don't lose Miss Heidi - she is a keeper!!!!).
I will radically miss my family holding down the fort at home while we travel, I could't be more delighted with the wonderful woman that God has chosen to share this life altering event with me. Hee hee - she even told me that she would carry all of my luggage AND take pictures if I let her come with me! Hmmm . . . . .
Thank you Heidi, for a great intro! Now we just need to add photos of the THREE of us together IN China!
