Just a guess and I still have quite a few hoops to jump through before I might get my invitation. But in the meantime, I will look forward to your further adventures.<br /><br />JimTeacher Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484073447443357818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5718290786987847883.post-46351458535218613052013-02-11T23:03:34.149+03:002013-02-11T23:03:34.149+03:00Your paragraph with "people are people" ...Your paragraph with "people are people" hit it dead on.

Didn...Well Emily, I finally got onto your blog! Didn't realize that it would be so easy. I love your view. Nice that you share it. When I hear Jordan in the news I can't help but think of you. I'm proud of you for taking this big step - crossing over into another culture, taking on a challenging language and being open to so many new things. <br />Things in St. Louie are going well. As everywhere else it slows down considerably in the winter. I manage to see Grandma almost weekly and she seems to be doing well. She loves hearing from you and really gets into her email machine! <br />Last weekend I went to New Orleans to see Jackson's opera. He was Candide, the lead in the show, Candide. Very fun. And warmer weather and a little pre-Mardi Gras funk was fun also. Megan is there now visiting and will be doing P.A. work for the SuperBowl. Leah's plugging away at her Residency in Denver. I plan to join her over Spring Break and catch a few slopes.<br />I also catch up with your mom now and then. Hope to call her tonight.<br />Thinking of you fondly. I'll tap into your blog more often now.<br />Love,<br />Aunt CathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5718290786987847883.post-76843979767014526082013-01-26T22:21:25.752+03:002013-01-26T22:21:25.752+03:00Thanks Kev!!

My absolute favorite memory with my host family was when the power went out my last night with them. The whole family (extended came to say goodbye) was gathered around a single kerosene lamp in the kitchen, bundled under blankets to keep warm, making shadow puppets, and basking in the glow of love and family. It is amazing how fast strangers can become family. Enjoy it! It sounds like you may have a similar time at your house (inshallah.
