Happy New Year

It's been quite some time since I lasted posted. The year has brought many changes to our family. We decided to take on a foreign exchange student. A friend called me in August and asked if we would be interested and I said no at first, but I talked to Curt and he said I should talk to Emily about it. Emily was very interested to say the least! We started the paperwork and received a student within a couple of weeks! I let Emily pick the girl...we had a choice of 3. She decided on Adriana, 16, from Brazil. We had to rearrange the bedrooms to accomodate her, but Emily was on board with that. We moved her queen bed to the girls room, and put the girls twin beds in her room. So then we decided to paint the room too! We painted it teal and white. We then bought black comforters and teal pillow cases. It looked really nice.
