Today we drove to St Louis to pick up Larissa. She is going to live with us and go to school here in the USA for one year. She is 15 years old and from Brazil and...she is absolutely adorable. :) We are so excited to get to know her better.
We drove to St Louis this morning. We left at 5:30am because her flight came in at 9:25 and we didn't want to be late. We were sitting by the baggage claim when she walked up and said hello. I felt so bad because her flight had arrived early and she had been wandering around looking for us. Marty kept telling me he saw her but I said "you couldn't have, her flight hasn't landed yet." :) She was great about it though. We waited for her luggage. and waited...and waited...finally we discovered that her suitcase had not arrived with her but it was following on another flight that would arrive at 11:45. We didn't want her to have to wait for them to fed ex it to Nauvoo so we just hung out at the airport for a few hours.
Again Larissa was wonderful. She has such a positive attitude. I thought she would sleep the whole way home but after a quick nap she got on Marty's laptop and contacted friends and family. We finally made it home at 3:30pm and she started unpacking. The first thing to go up was the flags!! so cool. and she came bearing gifts. Marty got a leather hat and a cool t-shirt. I got a beautiful table cloth, t-shirt, necklace bracelet, flip flops and a keychain. Each of the girls got the necklace bracelet, t shirts, flip flops, and key chains. She also brought cashews and some yummy fruity candy type stuff. I am not sure what it is but it is good..Lacey didn't like it but she is picky. LOL Marty LOVED it and I had to steal it from him to keep him from eating it all up.
I hope Larissa will be happy here. She is easy to like and she hit it off with the girls right away!! We are happy to have her in our home. I hope you all get a chance to meet her.
