Living in Heaven

"You are living in heaven" my friend always tell me.

After so many struggle living in this family, listened to so many real stories from other girls, and visited to some of their houses, I am so glad that I am living with this family.

At first, I am really shock to see the country environment and everything seems to be so far from my expectation. I did cry for the dynamic changes and I felt homesick for the first time in my life. But with all your courages and supports, I see the light in the dark. I told myself to be patient, to open my eye and open my mind; to touch, to feel and to appreciate everything that comes to me. As I always say to myself: "God knows what is the most suitable for me, I believe in God's arrangement."

And I see the changes of colors, feel the changes of weather, experience the changes of cultures. I realize that I need not to have something same with my previous experiences in Australia, United Kingdom or even my own country that raised me. If it is all the same, why do I need to be here?

Yeah, after 2 months in US, I realize that I am really living in heaven. I have my own room with kitchen facilities, bathroom and living room. It is apart from the family rooms which give me a full privacy. I can spend my time in the family rooms when I like, I can also keep myself in my own room when I need to be alone; I can have friends to visit or even stay overnight whenever I like; I can play with my little boy - Ozzy whenever I like and just close the door when I want to get rid of him; I can have dinner together with my host family whenever I am lazy to cook or buy my favourite foods and they will pay for it; I can drive my car whenever and wherever I want; I can go out with friends and come home whenever without "being a cinderella"... They bought me a new DVD player when the old one is out; they give me a big and comfortable car which is safe and comfortable to drive; they never question my gas expenses,... Isn't it great enough?

Some of my friends are considering whether to extend another year in US. I think most probably I may not extend. I am so spoiled in this family. How can I survive in a bad condition if I am living comfortably now?

Thanks God!!
