ktfitzgerald's Journal, 29 July 2011

This has turned out to be an awesome week! After working for weeks and thinking it wasn’t going to happen, we finally got the high school to accept the foreign exchange student we are planning to host this school year. Talk about being down to the wire – she is arriving in town this weekend. Since I didn’t think it was going to happen I’m not really prepared. So now I’m spinning around crazy with excitement and nervousness. I can hardly focus on work. My mind and heart just aren’t in it.

I’m so excited to be hosting a sweet, outdoorsy, energetic, 17 year old girl from Norway. I’ve finally been able to make contact with her just yesterday because things were just finalized with the school. I just want this experience to be so great for her. My head is spinning trying to think of all the things I could/should be doing for and with her. I still don’t know exactly when she’ll be here – sometime between Saturday and Monday. So I am on pins and needles waiting to hear. To make it even more exciting and crazy-busy, my daughter flying in from Alabama Monday for visit. And we’re having a 20th birthday party for her at the house next Saturday. It will be great to have us all together for the week, but the excitement and happiness of it might just kill me before it even happens.

And if that isn’t enough excitement, on Wednesday one of my foster kids is getting married.

I know I’m rambling, but I’m just too wound up to put my thoughts together yet.

I am thanking God for all these wonderful blessings!!!!

Oh, I guess I should include my exercise for this week:
Monday – Supreme90 legs
Wednesday – Supreme90 chest and back
Friday – Kettlebell Ultimate Fate Burner and Total Body Toning
Obviously, I won’t be doing any hiking this weekend. But totally worth it!

Wishing everyone much happiness, blessings and success today!

Wow Kim, you're just full of exciting news today! You are a very special person to have fostered children and to host a foreign exchange student. I am so thrilled for you! You and your foreign student will build enough memories to last a lifetime. When it rains it pours it is said. I think you are being showered with blessings. All at once! Have a really wonderful weekend and Monday and don't forget to take some time for yourself to nourish your body and soul. I am so happy to have met you and I'm looking forward to hearing how everything turns out and what'a happening next. Bless you my friend! {{{HUGS}}}
