Our family is growing!

Less than two weeks ago, Adam called while I was on the way to the library and told me about an opportunity to host a Korean exchange student in our home. For whatever reason, without knowing a single detail I had an epiphany. I knew then and there that we had to do it and feeling overwhelmed, I started to cry. I rushed home, hurried and filled out the application, and within an hour we were eligible applicants. The next day Adam got an email asking if we would be willing to host TWO Korean students and we said we would make the necessary arrangements to do so. On December 23rd we were officially Host Parents and told to get ready! A few days later we heard from our new Korean friends, Sarah and Yuni.

Sarah and Yuni will be with us for two months. They will come with us when we greet Sean at the airport and we will all stay for his homecoming talk so I hope they will get to meet a lot of my family and friends in Utah, as well as in Nevada--and yes, we HAVE to take them to Disneyland so maybe my California family and friends will meet them as well.
