Here I am arriving in a family 45 minutes north of Atlanta, Georgia! It happened very quickly. The family contacted me last Sunday for 1 hour on the phone. Then more than three quarters of an hour on Monday morning. And at the end of this call, they asked me to come live with them. YEAHHHHHH!
Family Description:
- 2 Parents: Edward and Jennifer
- 2 boys: Jackson, age 6, curious, rather quiet, loves playing outside, the Wii and DS, stories, going to school every day until 15h. And Maximilian, soon 3 years, goes to school 2 mornings a week, loves to play outside with his toys, go swimming ... His little extra is that it is diabetic. But the mother will stay with me until I am comfortable with this idea, and will enroll for a course I have all the necessary info. But it will go.
- 1 dog, Sasha, caramel labrador, 12 years old and adorable.
- live in a house outside of Atlanta, near a large lake, ponds, pools, parks ..
- Work from Monday to Friday, in general, 8 hours per day.
So of course I accepted. And my arrival was scheduled for this Saturday.
They all came to fetch me at the airport, with Jen's mom, Donna. She will be there for me all week, while her daughter works. We do not speak ill throughout the journey. And we stopped lunch (at 15:30 still) in a place where they make very good burgers.
tadam And then ... arrival home. And that is just WOW! Super neighborhood, a large house on 3 levels ...
My room: a large bed, a desk with a bouquet of flowers, a dresser, flat screen TV, a bedside table, and books on Atlanta. AND on the bed a big basket filled with gifts:
- A maxi-bag of M & M's Pretzels
- 1 notebook organizer recyclable paper
- a mouse pad / notepad organizer recyclable paper
- 2 stickers to put on the wall, write on it.
- darlings of multi-color
- lip balms
- Dove Body Wash 1 large
- milk 1 large natural body
- a $ 10 Starbuck Card
- a plastic bottle
- 1 bottle of San Pellegrina
- dried fruits and chocolates

My first advice: At the moment I like this rather not bad. The city is beautiful. Atlanta, which is not very far, seems to be a very nice city. The family was very well received, they are very nice, very relaxed with their children, and very simple. They take the time to explain things. Aprem this, they get to the airport, one of their former au pair. She will spend several days here with her boyfriend. It's nice of them to receive one at home as often. Children passed me pretty well (for now). The boy, who according to the parents is a real bastard to watch, listen to me and shows me his jouets.Et the great free to play with me and come into my arms to play with his DS! hope it Durt!
PS: Tonight is the Super Bowl between the Steelers and the Packers!
