Gideon

Well everyone... meet Gideon Oji. Gideon is a senior at the high school I teach at, but is originally from Nigeria. He has been living with us since August.

Some fun facts about Gideon are:

- He is 6 ft. 9 in. tall (and he's living with Craig and I... come on now- you know that's funny)
- He likes to cook... and is quite good at it. A few "American" things he's discovered he loves while living w/ us are: chicken alfredo and pickles
- He just turned 19 on December 11th
- His favorite phrase for anything is: "OH WOW!"
- He adores Levi (which he sometimes pronounces as Levy :)... and he always has a smile and a wave waiting for Levi when he comes home.
- He hates crowds (which can = 2 extra peolpe in the house) he will quickly take cover in his room.
- Sometimes we will hear him rocking out to Carrie Underwood in the mornings while he's getting ready... Priceless!
- On time... NEVER! :)
- Loves to chop wood for the fireplace ... not to mention he does it in his flip flops! (He said he would always do this chore for his family back home)
- He always walks in the door and greets Craig , who was home before us, by saying, "Welcome sir!" haha- We love it.

Well I hope you enjoyed meeting him, and maybe you will get to meet him in person someday.

So here are my boys:
