How many people can you fit in one house?

Yeah, I know, I'm asking myself that too....It seems you can always fit one more. At least in this house. We are expanding our family. Yes, Really. We are getting a foreign exchange student. (Had you going there for a minute, didn't I?) His name is Hua Qiang. I believe his last name is pronounced "Hway" and his first name is pronounced "Chee-ang" but we don't know this for sure yet because school started today and he is still in China. Not sure when he will get here as we haven't heard from him yet. I'm assuming he's trying to find flights, which could be fun since the Olympics just ended Sunday in China and everyone will be trying to fly out of there. For those of you who aren't sure you can pronounce his name, you will be relieved to hear that his nickname is Kimi. He will be a senior this year at MLCA. For those of you interested, the process is much faster than adoption. We heard that there was a student from China who needed a home on Thursday, we were signed up on Friday and told he could be here as early as Sunday! HELLO! Now that will wake you right up. I think they do it this way so that you don't have time to think WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING? Unfortunately the olympics screwed up their strategy. lol

So we are looking forward to welcoming to our family a 16 year old, 6 ft. tall Chinese student from Shanghai who will room with cranky ole Joe. Good luck, Kimi.
