You know you must have done something to make your little brother feel the need to insult you (though, for a ten-year-old, there doesn't have to be a reason) when you come home from babysitting at midnight and find a note on your bed that reads,

I am a fun-and-life-loving sixteen-year-old. I love traveling (I've been to 27 countries and want to double that number!), Africa (I've been to Morocco, Kenya, and Ethiopia and desperately want to see more!) skiing, my video camera, horror movies, vanilla frosting, and my family. I hate pasta, roller coasters, and mean people. I'm looking forward (for the most part) to a busy junior year filled with work (not fun), SATs (also not fun), hard classes (REALLY not fun), friends, new experiences, challenges, and my expanding, very international (Norwegian/American/Ethiopian) family. This blog documents the trials and tribulations of a teenager carrying out her duties as the Big Sis of two bio brothers (11 and 8) and a 2.5-year-old sister from Ethiopia (and hopefully more to come?)

Susanna,
You have to be the most hilarious, culturally aware, best writing teenager I've ever heard of. I connected with your blog through the CHSFS ethiopia forum and whenever I check out your blog I am so impressed and always laugh. You have a great writing style...you inspire me to put together a blog...though I can't figure out how to make it 'look' good. My husband and I are also adopting from Ethiopia (an infant, no gender preference) through CHSFS. I'm looking forward to keeping up with your blog, and I can't believe you're next in line! Congrats.
Wow, those are quite some compliments! Thanks!
I made my blog through blogger.com and it was incredibly easy- and free. I found my blog template just by doing a google search for "free blog templates." If you do decide to make a blog- and I think that you should, if you want to- I'd read it every day!
Good luck to you too!
I love your blog! I just found it this evening and I am absolutely astounded by your writing and insight. I hope that I can raise my daughter to be as culturally aware and tuned in with the world as you appear to be. I'll be following along as your family continues the journey to your sibling in Ethiopia.
Mary
I'll make sure to let you know when I set up our blog and start posting on it...
I keep thinking that YOU'LL be an awesome mom too and will probably adopt loads of kids!
Yes, I would love to read your blog, if or when you start one!
Thank you- I know that being a mom is hard work, but I hope that I'll be a good one someday. And yes, I will definetely adopt kids- I hope to have, just like my family now, a mix of children both biological and adopted!
