First Contact

Yay, gute Nachricht! Constance hat mir zurückgeschrieben! :-D Und anscheinend wohnt sie doch nicht so alleine.

Hello My new daughter-

My only regret is that you are ONLY staying for half a year. Maybe we can do something about that hehehehe! Please ask as much as you want. I am in Mexico and will be here until 2nd of August. That is probably why I do not answer the home phone. I would love to talk to you. Maybe on the 3rd of August? We have lots of animals: dogs, cats, turtles, tortoises, snake,rabbit, and fish. Most show up at my home or I rescue or adopt. It is a sickness with me, but my children accommodate me and are getting into it, too. My dogs are as follows:
Rocky 108 pounds part great dane and part sharpei age about 7-8 dark brown in color
Marley is 86 pounds and park Saint Bernard and part Akida brlight brownand white and age 6 years
Sugar is a girl, 30pounds and 4 years old. All white Part pit and maybe Jack Russel Terrier
Reese is 6 months, maybe light brown ( if she ever grows hair) and has green eyes, She is lab mix
and ( sorry, my zoo grew)
Bella is a female old English Sheepdog and is 50 pounds and about 1 years old.
Gorgeous and I have not had a sheepdog for 15 years and they are my love!!
We have 2 cats 13 months old males: Shark Bait and Devil Dog. Very affectionate and we found them and raised them from babies., Bottle fed them, and all.
The snake is a small one my neighbor found and his name is Jake. We really do nothing with him.
The fish is a beautiful Beta.
The rabbit is a dwarf that I rescued named Biscuit.
The tortoises are 6 of them, some rescued, some adopted, and some bought. They are desert ones and I love them!!!!
We have 2 red-eared slider turtled and they are fun to watch.
( The difference between turtles and tortoises is that the turtles live in the water and the tortoises on land).
I hope this does NOT scare you. They all are fun and I just have an overwhelming desire to nurture. Now for the 2 legged people in my life:
Caitlin is 23 . Her b-day is on Halloween. She lives with her bf in a house my sister ( Tia B) rents to her. She is going to school to be a teacher ( like me).
Nicholas ( age 22 on July 26) is a MARINE AND IN AFGHANISTAN BUT WILL COME HOME IN OCTOBER.
Christopher is 16 ( 17 in November 26) and is in 11thgrade. He plays soccer.
Mia is 10 and plays soccer and speaks Chinese and Spanish that she learns at her school. Smart Cookie.

Cait has a bf names Zach. He is also a Marine. He has a sonnamed Kayden who ios 4 and we love him.
Nicholas has a gf neamed Nikki ( how convenient that they have the same name) and she is going to school, too.

One of my last year's eschange students, Lucy, from China, stayed and lives in an apartment near ASU. We have had 2 other students visit this past year nd one boy, Ian,from Australis, will be here around Christmas.
Our home is busy and hectic and full of lots of love!!!!
I really hope, if you like it, you can stay for the whole year,,,,,and beyond, You are very welcome to.
Mesa is hot and busy. It is nice. We live near the desert. I cannot remember if you like to run but I do and I am a marathon runner.
I have a sister ( Tia B) and her hubby ( Tio M) that live near us and you will be involved with them, too. She is here with me in Mexico.
I have a mother , Nannie, WHO ALSO LIVES IN ARIZONA AND SHE IS AS SWEET AS SUGAR.
I have a brother, Tommy, and he has a daughter, Asia, 8 and we see them sometimes, too.
Mia has a father, TC who lives about 1 1/2 miles away and you will see him, too.
I will have the kiddos e-mail you so you can get their perspective of things.
Please come ready to experience new things. Let me know where you want to go and what you wouldlike to see while you are here:
Grand Canyon
Las Vegas
Sedona ( the Red Rock Country)
California

We can see what we can do.

I am, a teacher and I work in a restaurant, too. I love all that I do and family is the most important thing to me. I work very hard but I know how to play.
We have a lot of books and we love to go to the movies and out to eat. We have a pool in our back yard. ell, I do not want to overwhelm you. I printed out your letter so we could all re ad it in our room. I am glad you got to me. Tell your family, I thank them for sharing you with us.
You are now one of my children...another daughter. I cannot wait to see you.
Love Mom
