Ranch Merch

Hey People! 😃

Here's a quick update from last week. ◀️

We had Tuesday off because we had Memorial Day here on Monday, as I reported in the last post.

Then on Wednesday we edited the pictures from that day and uploaded them to the ranch media site.

In the evening we had one of our last advisory meetings. We got to hold the puppies for the first time and cuddle with them! They are just too cute. 😍 Next year we will most likely change consulting families.

In the media department, we also did something really cool this week. We launched our first online store for the ranch, where you can now buy sweaters, t-shirts, bags, mugs, and more, and I even got to model for it! 😃 In the pictures, you can see a few of our latest models! You can find the store on Facebook on the Miracle Mountain Ranch page under the store feature.

I have a story to tell about this now. One day after we published the store, an older couple drove to the ranch because they wanted to buy a sweater. Coincidentally, I was sitting outside on the porch when the woman asked if it was possible. She said, 'Oh, you must be the girl who modeled for this.' Then she showed me the open store page where I had one of the sweaters on and said, 'I'd like that one.' I was completely overwhelmed at first because it's really just an online store. The buckboard store at the ranch is usually only open for camps. But we were able to help the woman, and she got what she wanted. 🤗

On the porch where I was sitting, the ranch has now hung up flower pots. In one, we just found a little bird's nest with tiny eggs in it. It's interesting where birds nest everywhere. 😅 It's not exactly a quiet place in front of the main ranch building, where all the offices are, and everyone walks by every few minutes. 😉

On Friday, my consulting family's daughter had her graduation. She has now finished school. 🎉 Many of the staff kids are homeschooled. Homeschooling is more common in the US than in other countries, after all. What is your opinion about homeschooling? You guys can write to me sometime; I'd be interested. I think I would miss the social aspect of making friends. At the party itself, there was good food, and a lot of volleyball was played. 🏐 There was also a bonfire later on. It is also customary for everyone to write a congratulation card and then throw it into the big card box.

...Time is running out, and the school year will soon be over.... 🥺

Since many had asked how this is with my visa thing between the two years: Yes, it is complicated, and yes, I have to leave the US after the first year. My visa is valid until 2025, but my school form expires after one year, and the rule is that I then have to re-enter with my new school form so I can be registered at the border again. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Another way would be for me to apply for an extension, which is very expensive, and there is only a 50/50 chance if they accept me for another year or not. They wouldn't have to take me. To avoid this risk, I will possibly have to leave for a short time, and then I would be on the safe side. 😅

But what I will do then is still in planning at the moment. You will find out then, but also sometime. Remains just always exciting here!

So much for the topic 'short update'. 😂

Bye 🙋🏼‍♀️
