Sorry it's been a while!

Hey Guys!!
I'm sorry it has been a while! We have arrived at the apt. that we will be staying in for a the three months. We have been here for a week or something like that. We have an helper who is a national. She is helping us by cleaning our house and shopping for us. The plan was for her to fly to our a apartment one day before us so she could shop and clean the apt. for us. She and I had built a really good friendship although she's twenty-five. That doesn't matter. We don't know the same language but we communicate other wise. I know a little of her language she knows a little of mine. Mostly we communicate otherwise like I said. She asked if I could go with her. I had to tell her no because I had already gotten a ticket for the flight the next day. I told my dad about it and he said we could trade in a ticket so I would be able to go. I could tell that my mom was uneasy about the whole thing. Me flying with our helper who doesn't know a lot of English and shopping and walking and cleaning and everything else in a city far away from them for a day and a halve. I could see why she was a little uneasy. I have been on MANY flights so I know how to get my luggage and get out so that part wasn't going to be a big problem. Well, I left and the cool thing was when we went to get on the airplane we got to walk right out to it and walk right under the wing. It was fun!!!
When we arrived in the city we went to our apt. dropped our luggage off and then went to eat we shopped just a little bit for fruit and snacky stuff. Then we spent the night in our apt. The next day we went to "Wal-Mart" their version of it anyways. It was simular. We shopped for awhile. I got really overwelmed in there because the people would all crowd around me just to get a look or touch my hair or something. Some would stop dead infront of my buggy and point and stare. You would get slapped across the face if you did what they did in America. It was really over welming!!! I just wanted to say to everyone please guys I know I look different but I just want to shop for a few things. I just had to smile and move on if I could get past them. :o) After shopping we cleaned the apt. that wasn't to bad. We finished and then I took her to get some American food. Someone had showed our family before how to get there so I took our helper. She loved it!!! It also made me feel good because I'm starting to know my way around. We just kind of hung out until they came home. It was a wounderful and stressful and learning experience all at the same time. :o)
We're getting into the hang of it now. We are three days into language school and it's soooooo exciting for me I'm learinig a lot and I'm sooo eager to know more and more. Thank you for all your thoughts and prs I'm doing so much better than I expected!
My mom just told me something funny! THe other day we had our curtains open and marshall looked over and there were 10-12 people watching us! :o) When they realized that we knew they were out there they didn't go away. One by one they just trailed off and one little lady remained. He HE :o)
Leave me a comment! Love you guys!!!
