Not the "start" we were expecting!

Okay, it could be much worse but ....as we were preparing to leave
the house this morning I went to clean my ONLY PAIR of glasses and
they snapped in halF!! CRISIS!! I am legally blind without them
and absolutely panicked!! We tried many kinds of glue but to not
avail. I was in tears and about to have a panick attack! We
needed to be leaving NOW and here we were trying to figure out how
to put my glases back together. I called my dad and he headed to
wal-mart for a soldering gun but they did not have one. The local
hardware store didn't open til 7 AM! Ughh! We called my trusting
brother-in-law,Ronald (who can fix anything), while Rob headed to
Lowes to wait for the doors to open to buy the soldering iron.
Ronald was there in a flash and Rob made the purchase. Thankfully
I now have glasses in one piece. Needless to say, they do not look
all that terrific (big glob of soldering right on top of the nose
piece, but I CAN SEE! That's what matters. We are praying that
they will have an eyecare center in Beijing where we can get new
frames. Anyway, after feeling sick, anxious, stressed and
everything in between, we finally headed to the airport. We made
it through baggage check on and security in record time. We have
1 hour to spare before we board our plan. NOW, I can breath!
We are at the airport now and Shaelyn is excited but anxious about
everything going on around her. We will keep you all posted.
Lots of love!
