A blog to let you know... stuff...

So I will start out by saying that we found a new au pair.. This happened sometime last week... I just forgot to mention it... She seems really nice! And she is from Spane! So since she is in the European Union she can stay as long as she likes.. She seems really sweet and easy going... And she has friends from Holland... So that was part of the appeal for her.. She came last week to meet us.. and right away they decided that she was the one! So tahts really great... Thijs said he liked her too so that's really really great!!!!
I go home in 28 days... Tess just found out her family isn't coming to pick her up at the airport... and I'm hoping that my family will come get me... Then Tess can just ride with us.. I hope that works out.. I'm really getting excited to go home.. I think the season is making home sick.. NA d I will be glad to get home soon! But I know it will only take me a week or so to really really miss Holland and wish I were back here! I mean I already do wish it... But yeah.... So if you live in St George you should call me up when I get home and hang out with me... Since like all of my friends moved away on me.. I have no friends left.. So if you are my friend.. Then yay! Lets hang out!
The house work is nearly done! They say it will be all done by the end of the week! Which is great... But I don't think the au pair room will be complete by then... I have no idea... But it should be done by the time the new au pair arrives on January 6th... Haha! Oh well.. It's not really my room.. so I wont care... I almost would rather just stay down here in my room I"m in till I leave instead of having to move things all around! Haha! But I suppose that when I pack to go up stairs I will just pack my bags all up to go home and leave a few things out... Probably the best idea... Yeah.. So... I know its dumb.. But I was talking to my mom yesterday and it made me realise how excited I am to go home and get to go to church every Sunday.. I really do like to go to Church and it will make it so much easier to go when I dont have to make an hour long trek to get there... And when its not in Dutch... Yeah... So I'm excited for that... But.. I wont lie.. there are so many things I am not excited about.. But I will try to focus on the happy thoughts.. Like! I get to see Lucy! And I will get to babysit her.. and get paid to do so.. for at least the first month that I am home! So I'm happy about that.. SO I get to make up for lost time! Oh I'm sooooo soooooooo excited to see Lucy! It's interesting that I'm most excited to see a person I've never met.. But I am also VERY excited to see my mom and the rest of my family!
Also.. My mom is so sweet! She decided to leave up Christmas at our house till I get home.. Sur this does mean that I will probably be in charge of putting it all away.. WHICH is NOT an easy task.. But I'm tough... I will do it! I'm also exited to cook when I get home.. I don't want it to become this big thing.... But as long as I'm not working and I'm at home... I figure why not help cook... So yeah! Well alright... That's just about all I have to say tonight...
Oh yeah! Tonight I helped Martine put up some Christmas decorations... She had a few new ones.. and we made a bunch more.. Because Thijs has been requesting taht we make the house look nice for Kerst... aka Christmas... So we tried to spice things up a bit... But since the downstairs is a complete mess we couldn't do much.. But the windows look great!!!! And we will put the Christmas tree up as soon as the finish th flooring downstairs! Any day now!
