Hosting at my place



Well as I am approaching the one month left of my Peace Corps service, I thought I would let everyone know some of the things I am doing to fill the time.

This weekend was awesome. Tanta and I went shopping together Saturday afternoon getting ready for a big dinner that evening at my place where we hosted the senior LDS missionary couple in Galati, the new PCV couple in Braila, the farmer from Idaho, the LDS Romania Mission President and his wife, and Tanta and I. It was quite an event for my poor little apartment. But man oh man did we have fun! It was a wonderful meal filled with pleasant conversation and laughter. Afterwards, Tanta, Nils, Emily, and I went for a walk. They all decided to stay over at my place so we had a grand sleep over.

In the course of the evening, I started telling them about this terrible nightgown one of our fellow PCVs had left at my apartment. This ugly flannel affair that belongs to a House on the Prairie or a Civil War re-enactment. It was funny because Kevin, one of the guys, had grabbed the nightgown for his lady, Karly, thinking it would be a comfortable house coat to "chill" in. Of course all of us girls were just howling in laughter and embarrassment that a man would ever think such a thing. I at this point, went and pulled it out to show them just how ugly it was when Nils said, "you know, I don't think its that bad. Here, let me try it on." And try it on he did.
He even slept in it last night!

As you can see, I have become much more mature since my college days. I no longer where children's and/or pokemon's clothing. I have moved to the school marm look and am loving every moment of it.
