A & W Putnam: Long Time.
http://simplyputnam.blogspot.com/2012/04/long-time.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. Wow, where have we been for the last two months. Who even knows. Busy, I guess. I have been on a blogging hiatus and just happen to have a little bit of time tonight that I would like to use to rectify that! Just when we thought we would never be students again. :) Even after one week in class he was a totally different person (language-wise) so just imagine how great 2 months has been for him! I only have 6 more weeks of this schedule and then it will be behind me, which is goo...

A & W Putnam: Scooter Rides, Sick, and Classes Starting
http://simplyputnam.blogspot.com/2012/02/well-im-surrounded-by-pile-of-soggy.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. Scooter Rides, Sick, and Classes Starting. Well I'm surrounded by a pile of soggy snotty tissues, my nose is completely raw, I've exhausted all my patience waiting for Hulu and Youtube to load on this slow-boat internet, i don't feel like getting off this couch anytime soon - seems like a perfect time to update the blog. Did I mention I'm sick? I have been sick (at least) once a month since we came to Beijing and I don't know what the deal is. Chinese super-germs? Karaoke is hu...

A & W Putnam: October
http://simplyputnam.blogspot.com/2012/11/october.html
Sunday, November 4, 2012. Now that we've been here for over a year I feel like I'm qualified to say that October is officially our favorite month in Beijing. The humidity is over, the cold cold cold hasn't set in yet, and the slight breeze blows the pollution away for repeatedly blessed blue sky days! For us October held classes, work, the Chinese National Holiday, food poisoning, apartment hunting, and a growing baby boy! Last year we were like, "what is this silly holiday? Chinese National Day again!

A & W Putnam: September 2011
http://simplyputnam.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 20, 2011. 1 Month - Can You Believe It! That's right, today is our 1 month anniversary of being here in Beijing! It's odd really because a week around here feels like a month so I can't believe it's only been 30 days. It's actually gone by relatively fast. A few fast updates/small victories:. We love our branch! Session of District Conference, ache to attend General Conference, and I haven't missed a RS activity yet. Noah and Allison Riley (USU friends) are going to be in Beijing this ...

A & W Putnam: A Beautiful Day
http://simplyputnam.blogspot.com/2012/06/beautiful-day.html
Monday, June 18, 2012. Congratulations to the newest member of the Beijing 1st Branch, our dear friend Armene! The next week the three of us went out to lunch together and Armene asked us if we went to church, where, and if he could come with us. This first step was only an indicator of how the rest of his investigation of the church went - always one step ahead of our missionary work! Many of the YSA in our Branch who have been a huge part of Armene's fellowship. In a city where the members of the churc...

Wednesday, September 12, 2012. No I know I can't. Best part of being home - friends and family! We've been line drying for the last year - literally drying on a line stretched from one wall of our apartment to the other - and totally forgot how glorious it was to have soft clothes!

A & W Putnam: Where to begin...
http://simplyputnam.blogspot.com/2012/09/where-to-begin.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. No I know I can't. Best part of being home - friends and family! I'm just gonna go chronologically, cause the last 3 weeks have been awesome but summer was too wonderful not to mention it. So summer - it was blissful. We so wish that A could have stayed at home for longer, 3 weeks just wasn't long enough! It was really really nice to not be stared at for a second. The grocery store was absolutely glorious - relaxing really. Major highlights from the trip include fam...Perfe...
