Another Samantha-ism!

Even with Samantha gone, her Samantha-isms continue. Found the following words of wisdom in Samantha's room taped on her bookshelf as I was cleaning her room. Thought all of you would enjoy them...

"No matter how much the idiots outnumber you, remember they are still the idiots."

Savannah ;o)

This weekend was great! Savannah was such a good girl in the Temple and during her blessing on Sunday. The Spirit was so strong. The Lord has definatly blessed us.

Update: School, Jeff, Sam, Blah, etc...

Dylan will be taking Drivers Ed this year. He is currently studying the handbook preparing for the permit test. Andrea is being homeschooled again this year except for science and choir.

Jeff is still having problems. He's on new meds, but will have to go to pulmonary specialist soon.

It has been 11 days since Sam left. It has definitely been quieter around here. Sam told us that on the first day there some kid racked up a 50 Euro (approx $65 US) telephone bill so now no one is allowed to use the Language Center telephone. Sam had to walk into town and call us from a telephone booth. She still does not have a host family yet (Yikes!)

Blah, blah... (Sam's favorite word just seems appropriate here!)

Love ya'll

Farewell America!

I'm listening to dad yell, "Get in the car! Let's go!" as I quickly type. I can't believe 'the day' has finally come--I am leaving. I love you all and I hope to read lots of posts and comments on the blog from all of you. I want to know what everyone is doing while I'm away. I promise to add to the blog as often as I can.
Hugs and Kisses,
Samantha

Samantha leaves tomorrow. She still doesn't have her host family assigned yet. She's getting just a wee bit nervous. It's amazing to see how little she is taking for a year abroad. The first month she will be at a language training center, then she will, with hope, have a real address with a real host family. She may not be able to post anything for a while, but she'll get on and read comments as often as she can. I'm going to get off now so she can say farewell.

Officially Ours ;o)
