신혜진

During the month of January, we hosted a Foreign Exchange Student

from South Korea.

Her name in Korean is

신혜진

or Shin HyeJin.

We just called her Amy.

We had so much fun with Amy here. Amy learned from us,

but we learned so much from Amy too!

We took her to see her first "live" basketball game

with CHEERLEADERS!

It's like "Jacks" but with ROCKS!!

She taught us Korean games.

and we taught her a few also.

We took her to Texas Roadhouse,

she sat on the saddle of course...PRE-BIRTHDAY style.

We had fun picnics in the park...

We took her out to dinner and showed her fun American traditions,

like chocolate shakes and huge hamburgers!

Amy celebrated her birthday while she was with us,

on the same day as Jessica's!

We shared our tradition of

"Baskin Robbins Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Cake" with her.

This was Amy's last night here...we REALLY miss her,

but she's on facebook and skype!

So...once in a while, we get to still talk

to our long lost family member.
