A Trip to Anhui Province with Heart to Heart When we moved to China as expats, I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do with my free time. I did not have a work permit, so full-time employment was going to be complicated

For years, he and a group of our friends have met up in Park City, Utah for a weekend of skiing, drinking, and the sort of shenanigans that 30-somethings can only handle for 3-4 days before they realize that they are no longer in their early 20s and a night of sound sleep becomes more appealing than another late night of debauchery. It would give me a bit of a head start on the inevitable jet lag that comes with a 15 hour time difference, plus I could explore downtown Salt Lake City. The next day, as I eagerly awaited Dan’s arrival to get the surprise plan in action, I made it a point to stop by local favorite Red Iguana for a quick Mexican lunch and far too many chips and salsa.

It’s been two years since I wrote several posts about the things, big and small, that were saving my life.
