This was one of the busiest summers we've ever had! We didn't travel much, which is very unusual for us, but we did get to have friends and family come to visit. We had six straight weeks of company and when I say straight, I mean every night for six weeks. So much fun! Our last friends actually left after we headed to Myrtle Beach with my sister and her kids.
The day before we went to the beach Curt and I attended a leadership meeting at church. A friend asked if we were still thinking about hosting an exchange student. I had shared with her that Curt and I had briefly discussed this as a possibility sometime in the future. I told her that we might, but asked why she was asking. She had received an email looking for someone to host a sixteen year old German exchange student immediately. A medical emergency had occurred in the family who had agreed to host her this year and they were trying to find a replacement. After a late Sunday night flurry of paperwork, a few phone calls and email on Monday, a brief interview and home visit on Saturday, and let's be honest - some frantic house cleaning!, Lisa arrived on Thursday! We've really enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to introducing her to friends and family.
Do you need a nap? You guys are so awesome.
