Snow in September?

It is the eve of Snow's arrival.  It seems surreal that we have been preparing for her for the past 5 months and tomorrow we will finally meet her.

Back in April the high school Molly will soon attend reached out to families with an opportunity to host a student from China for the whole school year.  I thought it would be a unique experience for the whole family to learn from someone from a very different culture.  When I discussed it with the family I wasn't sure what their reaction would be, but to my surprise everyone was as positive as I was.  Not a "I'm not sharing my bathroom" or "I don't think so" but instead "we can do fun stuff together".  I was blown away!

We finally discovered we would be hosting a 16 year-old girl named Snow, who is known not only for her unique name but for her likable personality and accomplishments.  She was invited to represent Eduboston (the company who arrange the placement of students) at the United Nations on the topic of enpowering women and making sure all girls are given the opportunity to attend school.

So, her room is all ready, complete with a new desk, fresh paint and a closet door that actually works.  I hope she likes it....
