Well, there's slim to none chance of getting my things back. Such is life. Protect myself, rethink the whole purse thing and move on.
Can't let all that rain on our parade. We are super excited because we may be hosting an exchange student in January. She is from Chile, and there's just some things that have to be done first to get approved, but we can't see why we would be rejected. An acquaintance of ours runs a program that handles foreign exchange students, and she said something to us, and we were like, 'yeah, keep us in mind...' but we didn't really think that we'd be able to do anything yet. But then we got an email later about an artistic-writing-singing-freewilled-young lady who appears to love animals and we just had to offer her our home. I know that many have helped me on my road to traveling and exploration, and it's a chance to return the favor. We are super excited.
Cross your fingers.

Posted by Pat at September 14, 2007 07:03 AMI thought the whole idea of an exchange student was that your kid went over there while that kid came over here, or have the rules changed?
Either way, sounds like a great opportunity for all of you.
