What a busy few weeks we've had!! Our town hosts an International Dance and Music Festival every year. The dancers are hosted by families around the area. We decided to host this year. We had 3 dancers from the Phillipines stay with us for 9 days! It was an incredibly wonderful experience!!!!
There were many short nights and long days with the busy schedule they had. We were responsible for taking them to practice, perfomances and anywhere else they had to go. Some nights, we didn't get home until 11:30pm! I wouldn't have missed it for anything! Our ladies cooked for us several times. I've learned to use some new vegetables. I loved everything I tried!
We had a family reunion during the same time. I was helping put it together so I had a lot to do that week. The reunion was great!! My brother and his family came up. My parents surprized us at 11:30pm Saturday night by knocking at my front door! They had said they weren't going to be able to make it but decided at the last minute to come. It was a nice surprize! Our house was almost overflowing with 9 extra people sleeping there on Saturday!
We said good-bye to the dancers on Monday morning. They headed to Bountiful, UT for a folk dance festival there. I was sad to see them go but it wasn't as hard as I thought to say good-bye. I have made some wonderful friends!!! We plan on doing it next year, too!
Tuesday, I made an overnight run to Salt Lake City. I left home around noon on Tuesday and was back in town by noon on Wednesday. After doing some errands, I collapsed in bed and slept quite soundly for several hours!!
It has been a fun time but I'm glad I can sleep again!!!!!
Oh, but next week our exchange student comes. Hmmmmm. . . . . . . . sleep?? We'll see.
