    That is wonderful! I hope you have a great year with her. My family had an exchange student from Germany 25 years ago, and she is still our "sister". We still keep in touch. Keep us posted! Julia

    This is terrific Lana. This will be a good experience for you. Give us lots of updates. I'm stuck here alone at home coping with disability and just missing my late husband so much and it would be great to experience your exchange student with you. This is just so terrific. You have the best ideas. (((hugs))) Patricia
