Sweet Relief

Okay, remember when I was worried and pretty stressed out yesterday? In case you don't, I was basically extremely worried that I wouldn't be able to go to Spain this summer. I know, I know. Not the end of the world, but it would still make me quite sad. It would be like taking a toy away from a toddler. You can't do that without tears. Trust me. I've worked as nanny for over five years. Anyways, I am here to tell you those fears have been put to rest.

I received an email today from the agency saying that everything had been cleared up, and that they were sending me papers tomorrow to sign. They instructed me to email my host mother to find out when I should arrive in Spain (as she is picking me up). I sighed a huge sigh of relief and did a little excited dance. To be fair, my employer was practically dancing with excitement with me. I love how everyone is so excited for me and just so supportive.

Oh! And, my host mother and I have been emailing each other too! I am really excited to get to know her family and become a part of it. The kids are adorable (as previous mentioned), and I can tell I am going to have so much fun with them. Also, the agency stated that my host mother loves me and really wants me to come out after speaking with me. I am really happy about that! I was scared that my host family wouldn't like me. To which all of my friends responded with "who doesn't love you Laikien?!" My friends are obligated to say that as my dear friends though...

Well, I just sent off an email asking my host mother when I should arrive in Spain. I found a reasonable flight so I hope to hear from her soon so I can buy the ticket! Eek! I can't believe I will be buying a ticket soon! Egads!

Have I mentioned that I am excited?

PS: I made a friend already with a girl who just arrived in Spain earlier this week. She is working as an au pair too! Can't wait to meet her and hopefully be able to explore the city a bit.
