The boy is also doing wonderfully in school. He just adores it. He will have been here 2 months in a few days and he can communicate very well already. I know that I wondered how he would survive and how long it would take etc. Well when you sign them up for school, the school will assign an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher who will work with him for maybe one hour a day and the rest of the time he stays in regular class. They just pick it up and they do survive.

I now understand why others who have been active on the board and bring their mail order brides over then disappear. Well I will tell you why....our lives are just crazy busy. We are constantly going!

There is allowing mail order brides to nest, buying new stuff for the house, Christmas, English tutors, driving tutors, studying, house stuff, shopping for groceries, clothes, wedding plans, preachers, florists, invitations, honeymoon plans, etc etc. It seems that we are going so fast every day, from 6am to 10pm!

I just have to say that life is good, it is sooo good and I just adore this woman! :saint:

Scott,

What a trooper! Many Americans are unable to deal with the stress of everything that happens around Christmas holidays. Yet, you are busy helping one of the mail order brides and her son adjust to America, making Christmas a joyful experience, and somehow finding time to keep us informed. Thank you.

I saw a program on Discovery Channel in which an American was teaching his bride from Ufa how to drive. There seemed to be a long hesitation between processing the English and executing the maneuver. Teenagers appear easier to teach. All hope is not lost. A later segment showed her driving much better. mail order brides and driving lessons
