So, our computer is on the fritz. The one I was using is now in Mexico with its owner. Sorry to be a bad blogger!
I am the worst blogger ever. Well, let's start over. I am the worst computer owner ever. I managed to tear up my second laptop about three months ago. Thankfully our sweet Daniel was letting me use his laptop. All in Spanish. A wee bit difficult to blog on. Right now, I'm at work taking a quick break.
Things have changed so much around our house. That seems to be a recurring theme in our family. Change. God must love watching me squirm and stress when things are out of my control. One day I will learn to trust and relax. Today ain't the day.
We are moving, again. Yep. You read it right. Again. Our sweet country house was sold, so we are moving back to town to an adorable craftsman style home with an attic bedroom fit for a...midget. Unfortunately, our next exchange student is 6'1. He's gonna have so much fun up there! Bless him.
My sweet Daniel went home last week. Broke my heart to send him back to his mama and daddy. They seem to be wonderful people and they have done and incredible job raising him. I just want to be stingy and keep him to myself! I hate letting go. Not seeing him every morning and making sure he is alright is tough for me. He has plans to come back next year and live for the summer. Counting down the days until he returns. He brings such fun to our lives. He's a great kid and I know he is going to be an even better adult.
We are hosting our last exchange student this year. His name is Florian and he is from Germany. Seems to be a great kid. I love doing the exchange program, but I HATE the goodbyes. HATE. I keep thinking it will get easier, but it never is. Never.
Maisie is doing great. She has been in summer school this month which she totally hates. But, really, she needed a little push in Math. A little extra practice never hurt! She is growing so much and I know she is going to be 16 and gorgeous before I know it! I mean really, she is starting 7th grade this year! She was just in 4th grade yesterday, wasn't she?! Where does the time go? Have I told you how much this girl loves her daddy? She a d o r e s him. Her face lights up when he comes home from work. She always wants to be where he is. It's precious really.
We're still praying about direction for our next adoption. Maisie wants a sister. I'm not so sure about another girl. There's enough drama queen-ness between me & Maisie. I'm not sure where another girl would fit in! I would like a younger child. A baby would be great, but we're still praying about that.
Maybe I'll be a better blogger in the coming months. I wouldn't count on it though!!!
