CAREN ♥

This year, we made the decision to have a foreign exchange student stay with us from Germany. We asked for a 14-year-old girl so she would be the same age as Taylor. We thought it would be a fun cultural experience for Taylor.

She arrived here June 18th and brought us some yummy German chocolate and gifts for all of us.

Some of her favorite things to do while she was here were: riding the 4-wheelers, shopping, shopping, more shopping, playing on Facebook, eating American food, playing baseball, shooting guns, hanging out with friends and sunbathing.
She left to go home on August 2nd and we cried and cried as she was leaving our house until we thought we were all out of tears. We cried some more as we watched her walk through the gate to go through security and we knew that we probably wouldn't see her again.

Her name is Caren and we love her just like a sister and a daughter. She will always be a BIG part of our Hughes family! We miss her!
