Not home

Everyone who reads this expected Bethany to be home by now. She isn't. And as far as I know, she won't be until the official end of her exchange experience.

After the election on December 2 went without any major violence, and the socialist changes proposed in the Referendum failed, Bethany decided that she was safe again and her dad and the Rotary officials agreed. She is staying for now.

Her dad and Carter will be visiting her over the week between Christmas and New Year. Her dad will "assess" the situation and see how things really are. She doesn't want to leave. She still misses us and being home, but she doesn't want to lose out on this opportunity. I understand but.....

I'll say it again.......it's hard being a Mom.
