and she's 16years old.

Yes, I know, people already think we're crazy for having seven children.  So, how much worse could "public opinion" get for hosting a foreign exchange student for the academic year?

The minute details are still being worked on.  They have to call the high school to make sure they TAKE exchange students.  Then we have to meet our local coordinator and give them our paperwork and everything. THEN the student gets to review US to make sure she really wants to be a part of our family!

Should make for a fun year, huh?  We are reviewing three students, to bring one to our home.  All three are from Germany.

We will have to move the Ms into the Cs room and let the student have her own. OK, we dont *HAVE* to give her a room to herself. But, we figure she will NEED the space to decompress at the end of the day!  So, we need to get a bed, dresser and desk to go in there.

We start school tomorrow. I am debating what is best - to hold off on school until she is here or go ahead and start.  I might need these next few days to move all the furniture around and do some better cleaning.  The kids do the daily cleaning chores and every now and then it should actually be scrubbed really well - ya know? rofl!!!

Well, we're praying that God works it all out the way He wants it to be.  Even if that means we don't get a student at all, for whatever reasons.  We do pray she comes, though!
