I'm a mom!!!

Yup, you read the title right, I'm a mom.  Today I picked up my foreign exchange student from the airport and officially became a mom (that's what she calls me :-) for the next 10 months.  My new daughter is Rima and so far I just think she is great!  Rima is from the Philippines.  She is 16 years old and adorable.  The decision to host a student was a last minute one that made me quite a bit nervous at first; however, now I know that it was a great idea.  I am already excited about all of the things that I will learn such as how to cook everyday, set rules, be selfless....you know...mom stuff.  As Rima and I were at dinner tonight she said, " mom, can I have a favor?"  I replied, "sure, what is it?"  She said, "when we get home may I rest?"  I said to myself, "God sent me the right one, that's my child, we are going to get along just fine."  So, here I am, broken Shayna single mother of one.  

Tootles for now!
