YES!!!

Ammon is coming home!!!

He is currently in the air and roughly one hour away from the good ol' SLC International airport.

Yesssssss!

He's been gone for 9 days..... 9 extremely long, and boring days (for me, he was having adventures).

I swear that most of the time he's gone rather than being home. Thank heavens he isn't planning on going back to China for another 3 months. Hopefully he won't be going to any other countries between now and then either, because I don't want to share him with them.

I sure do love that face.... :)

Mmm... Chinese Food!

So, if you've ever met a Cunningham before then you know that they all have this intense love of all things Asian... which sort of works out for me because I've always loved Chinese food (and by Chinese food I mean Orange Chicken from Panda Express). The whole two weeks that we were in China I definitely didn't see any Orange Chicken..

We did get other awesome things... such as:

Because who wouldn't want an awesome boiled chicken leg floating around in their soup? yum...

These snails were quite delicious! (At least I thought so... Ammon thought they were gross). I especially liked the fact that you had to like stab the snail and scoop it out with a toothpick. Who wouldn't love that?

Have you ever craved a pastry filled with hot dogs and then covered with cheese and corn? If so, then looky what I have for you..... Yes please! :)

Tons and tons of desserts were filled with this weird red bean paste stuff... I thought it was gross. I'd definitely take chocolate over that ANY day. This is us showing off a red bean pastry thing... which I took like a little nibble of and then let Ammon have the rest. He's into that stuff.

So, Ammon loves these dumpling things more than anything else in the entire world. Including me. Not a joke. We searched everywhere for these things, and he dragged me through all of these scary back alley/sketchy streets til we found them....

They're basically dumplings filled with meat and broth... so you have to bite a little tiny piece off, suck out the broth, then eat them. They're extremely messy and sooo hot. Which is awesome because it's only like 90 degrees there everything with 100% humidity.. haha!
