it's been a year :)

we just celebrated our 1 year anniversary!

a couple from our work gave us a free hotel stay in beijing,
which was just what we needed. it's been a long semester...

The bed we sleep on every night isn't what you would exactly call, soft.
This mattress was definitely an improvement.


Here's another thing that we haven't had for around 4 months.
(a bathtub or a tv by the bathtub)
It was nice to not have to squeegie afterward, too.


the view from our room...


we don't have a ginormous mirror either i guess...


a great happy anniversary card with bonus pictures!


the lobby was even decorated for christmas :)
