Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour. My name is Jamie Ivy and I am your host every

single week and I am so glad you're here. If this is your first time I want to let you

know that the happy hour podcast is just what it sounds like actually it is two women

chatting about life. As we're chatting we talk about big things small things, fervilist

things, deep things, we go everywhere the exact same way that your conversation would

go with your girlfriend. If you're having coffee in the morning you would talk about

everything and so that's what the happy hour is. Today my yes is Meredith Turing and

she is a 24 year old amazing woman that lives in China right now and has done amazing things

in her life more than some of us will do in our lifetime. She has a great story to share

with us about her parents how they adopted her youngest sister. You're just going to

love our conversations today. We talk about her life in China how she got there, how

her parents adopted her youngest sister. We talk about her trip last summer with Noonday

Collection and IJM to Rwanda and we chat about the books that we're reading. You're going

to love it so sit back and relax and listen to us. I want to say thank you to Treena

Lee. Treena has been communicating with me on Twitter this past week and it's been so

fun. Literally it seems like after she must have been listened to all the podcasts because

Treena after you would listen you would immediately send me a tweet and I literally loved

it. I was like oh she likes it. I would love to hear from you while you're listening

just not while you're driving but while you're listening send me a tweet. Answer the questions

that I sometimes randomly asked during the show. My Twitter address is at Jamie underscore

Ivy and that's Ivy. I wish it was just at Jamie Ivy but somebody has it and I don't

know how to get it. Whatever. I also love Instagram. Find me over there. It's just at Jamie
