Life is about to change

I have spent the last couple of days cooking and spending time with our son and a friend. It was very fun to have a couple of young men here for a few days. I have a hard time not mothering both of them. I guess once a mother always a mother.

Now, I am going to find out if I am really into being a mother still. I am going to be picking up our rotary exchange student at the airport on Tuesday. She is 17 and from Ecuador. Neither Mark or I speak Spanish so I am hoping we can communicate. She will be staying with us for 3 months and then will have 2 other families she will be with for 3 months each. She will attend high school here and have the American Experience. I hope all goes well. We have done this before and it was a great experience but we have always been the 3rd host family not the first. I have spend a lot of time worrying if she will like us, if she will be homesick, and how we will communicate if she does not speak English. Wish me luck. The next time you hear from me I will be back to mothering a teenager.............
