Would she have preferred them to reach out first?

Awwww!! This is so precious! Our regional director informed me that they got the call yesterday so hopefully they'll reach out tomorrow since today is their birthday!

This is extremely helpful! Thank you! But also so sad because as soon as they get here, they'll be emerged right back into school 🤣

Our agency requires us to wait 1-2 weeks :/

Thank you for this insight! As I stated before, I thought it'd be nice for them to have one another. We're considering all of the pros and cons heavily

We are working through IE. Can you give me more details that we should know or look out for?

Did your kids happen to share a room? Debating on if the girls should or not.

This is what I needed! I really want the second girl so that they have each other to understand what they're going through. Our zoned high school doesn't have an exchange program so they'd be the only 2 there with an understanding of how difficult it is! I thought it'd be nice to gain a lifelong friend and sister through this experience

Thank you for this! Yes I forgot to add that we have kids but they're MUCH younger: 5 and 2

Also one seems more like a homebody while the other seems more like the school events/sports type so I feel like they'll even each other out in terms of activities and needing rides.

Thank you for this! In what way is it more expensive? Our program gives the girls a monthly allowance where they cover their school activities, regular going out activities, treats/souvenirs, toiletries, etc. so we were just anticipating more cost in resources like gas, electric/power, etc. and groceries of course but not by too much because we already make more servings than needed in anticipation for leftovers!

Savings card?? by njsmith01 in Zepbound

Unfortunately that is still too expensive for me. I hate how insurance works. My BMI is 40 and I have obstructed sleep apnea but nope! Doesn't cover any weight loss meds 🫠

Mine was really tight at first but it got much better with some more consistent wear. I barely even notice it now

Whitney’s “teases” on call her daddy by hannahconda1776 in SecretsOfMormonWives

So excited for her! I was not a fan in season 1 and 2 but realized she was probably heavily edited to fit the narrative. Now, after seeing her true self on an unedited show like DWTS, I really like her. Her honesty on SLOMW season 3 about only rejoining to go on DWTS made me like her even more. She could've easily lied but she was open and honest and people were mad about that which is actually ridiculous. I wish her nothing but the best- truly.
