It's a new year, welcome 2013. And we are starting our year off with a new exchange student, Rafaele from Switzerland. He arrived tonight, and is such a sweet and well mannered young man. He fits in well with our family already. After we picked him up, we headed to Ihop for Dinner, kinda a tradition with us and our exchange students. I can't believe that Rafaele is our 6th student..We can't wait to get to know him more, and him to know us more and learn and see all about Texas.
I am so sorry for not updating in a really long time... SO much has been going on with three kids, working, sports, husband, family, sick mother-in-law, myself sick.. It's been really busy and crazy.. So lets see how much I can update and try to stay up to date.. Christmas, was normal and we stayed at home for the first Christmas in 5 yrs, we didn't go anywhere, we stayed in our jammies, watched movies, and relaxed. New Years we went to Houston, for the 2nd year in a row. The kids played on four-wheelers, went to the beach, the Galveston strand, dinner at Katz Deli, visited friends and really enjoyed our time. We did the New Years Countdown on top of a parking garage in downtown Houston and saw fireworks for miles and miles.. We finished Denton High JV football season, we got Kristian transferred to Ryan High, finally praise God... Got him into a better school, better sports and teachers and staff.. We got placed with another student for the fall, Vincent from Belgium. Can't wait to get to know him better and better. Soccer season started for Kristian, Soccer season started for Charlie and not to mention Charlie and Alison in scouts.. Charlie sold the most Popcorn for his troop, Alison sold the most pasta for her troop, they love to sell and I love to help them reach their goals... Craig and I celebrated 13 yrs of Marriage, his 50th birthday and my 37th birthday. I started watching two kids in the home, vs getting a job and putting kids in after school care or finding someone to grab them from school.. Just had Kristian's sport banquet and he made the 2nd team all district team, WAY TO GO Kristian!! Alison went with her daddy to the Daddy/Daughter Dance, she was adorable and had a great time.. Kristian and Alison helped Keep Aubrey Beautiful, great community service.. And now the sad part, Kristian is getting closer and closer to returning back home to Norway. I am excited on meeting his parents, they are coming Memorial Weekend and will stay till they all leave on June 5th. It truly breaks my heart, I love him as if he was my own. This is the hard part on hosting students. I will miss my SuperKid..
