Vicky is here!

[trystinn]

Our Chinese exchange student arrived safe and sound late this afternoon. As befitting an American host mother, I've already fed her ice cream and bought her candy! We also, in a fit of normalcy, went to the grocery and bought her a few things for lunch at school. :P Vicky is quite tall (I always get the tall ones) and very outgoing, she wants to know where all the cute American teens are! She speaks quite a bit of English, so we're actually able to talk. She's a bit confused as to where my husband is, which is fitting as I'm not sure where he is at the moment either! Unfortunately, she's afraid of the dogs, but she's game.

Two classmates are staying four houses down, so we've had a wonderful time getting the girls together to walk around the neighborhood this evening. The ladies will be carpooling, so that's a load off of my mind.

Flash is despondent that she's afraid of him, but given she's laughing as she pulls away I figure this is a stage we'll get through like we did with Jason last summer.

More to come!

Poor girl doesn't stand a chance agains the LOVE POWERS of your doggies. There just isn't a shot to protect a traveler from that, yanno? (And if there were one, I wouldn't want it.)

I will certainly try to give them every opportunity to win her over. Once they calm down enough to pick up her clues, I think this will go easier.

Meanwhile, there will be moappage.
