Finally!
Bonjour/Salut/Bonsoir tout le monde!
Yesterday! Yesterday was an AMAZING DAY! I was at home sitting down and my parents came home. I went to help with whatever groceries they had when my mother asks if I received the same e-mail she got. I was confused. My guess was it was some school thing, but she had a REALLY big smile. I said 'no...' and my sister yelled 'YOUR DAD'S NAME IS (FRENCH NAME)!' I was like "what?..." turns out, my host mother had sent my parents an e-mail!!!! I RAN for my computer and began looking for it (found it in their e-mail). When I found it I read it so quickly I missed a lot of information and had to read it 2 more times! So everyone, I will be going to Lyon, France D1710 (for those of you in Rotary (That should be all of you, if not, we have districts and blah blah)) for my exchange!!! I will also have a little brother!!!!!! I've always wanted one, and now, I get to (for either a couple months, or the whole year. I don't know yet...) I'm awaiting actual contact from the family and will not disclose names, ages, or anything else for safety reasons (the internet is a sketchy place y'all...). ANYWAY, I'm incredibly excited to begin this exchange now and CAN NOT WAIT until I come in actual contact with my host family!! By the e-mail, i'm sure they'll be awesome! :)
Au Revoir!

P.S. Now that I have this family, it all seems so weird. I didn't expect to get this far, and now...it's actually happening, showing that, rien n'est impossible :) (I'm sure you can guess what that means ;) )

Another Update
I sent off an exploratory e-mail today to my Inbound Chairman asking about an orientation and got several things back. So, I thought I would share them:
1.) Apparently, I will have three orientations, one of which, will consist of me giving my club presentation (which I am VERY excited for!). One orientation will be with my club, another will be at my house with my family (since there are 2 going from my state), and the last will be my BIG Orientation in July, well, last until I am in France.
2.) I get my country information via snail-mail from my country contact who lives in another state. She gets the information, and then sends it to me. Apparently it could be between Now, and JULY. Eek! Hopefully the visa doesn't take too long if I learn in July! BUT, there are 1-2 kids on the Rotary France page who learn every day, so it looks like France is cranking the papers out!
3.) I get my blazer soon! Finally, my pins will have a home!
4.) My exchange bill is in. I won't get it until they know exactly how to break it up, but the fact that I will see all I have to pay is going to stress me out.
That's it! :) 135 days until I am in France!
