We got exciting news! It has nothing to do with adoption, though......
Many of you know of our experience with hosting 2 Ukrainian orphans last Christmas as well as our hosting a Ukrainian chaperone for 2 weeks this summer.
Well, we're doing it again! This time, we're hosting a 33 year old chaperone from Latvia named Zane. I have no idea how her name is pronounced, so we'll figure that out when we meet her.
We had hoped to host a chaperone but didn't think it would work out. Then we got the message on Monday about the possibility of hosting Zane. There were a few details to work out and thanks to some friends (and their friends) we were able to finalize the commitment Tuesday night.
We had to laugh when we looked at our calendar last night. The next month is already SO busy! The good thing about that is we should have a lot of things to keep Zane busy, as well as a few down days with little to do. She'll get a quick introduction to my husband's weird work schedule as the week she arrives is as weird as they get around here..... We had already planned having visitors here a few different days so she'll get to meet some of our friends and relatives during her stay. And if we have good weather, maybe we'll go on a hike or take a day trip to the beach. We're also going to go to the history and sciences museums nearby. And of course we'll be watching lots of Christmas movies!
All we know about Zane is that she speaks a little English but can understand more and is looking forward to learning more English and eating new foods. She also likes to cook so I'm looking forward to another helper in the kitchen and maybe we can convince her to cook us an authentic Latvian dinner one night!
I'm still hoping to keep up with blogging while my schedule gets busier over the next month, but I can imagine I will be posting less often.
We are excited to meet our visitor this weekend!
