We are Eddie and Mellissa Hafer. We have been married for 30 years and have 4 children and one granddaughter. Our two oldest boys live nearby and come over for Sunday dinner. Savannah is 21 and lives at home right now and works full time. Mason, age 18, just left to serve a 2 year mission to New Zealand. Mellissa is a part time substitute teacher, and homemaker and loves being a grandma, Eddie is a General Contractor and runs his own business. We have a sweet doggy named Oso and a fat cat named Chloe.
We are all active in our church congregation and attend every Sunday. It is right down the street from us. We are Christian and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We respect all religions. We have hosted students from China, Japan, Korea, and Quebec. We really enjoy getting to know the students and their culture.
我们的家和活动:
我们住在 Orange Heights 地区,我们喜欢安静、美丽的社区。我们在这里住了 8 年。我们住在一个有 5 间卧室的房子里,有游泳池、按摩浴缸和小院子。我们的车库里有自行车和健身器材。我们是一个活跃的运动家庭。我们喜欢打篮球、排球、匹克球、徒步旅行、击球、滑雪、冲浪,基本上所有的运动和户外活动。我们还喜欢玩棋盘游戏和看电影。我们喜欢全家一起吃周日晚餐。
餐饮:
我们都喜欢美食。梅丽莎喜欢烘焙。埃迪是周日厨师,擅长烧烤和酱汁以及美味的莎莎酱和鳄梨酱。我们大部分时间都吃得相当健康。早餐有时是鸡蛋、吐司、煎蛋卷、煎饼、冰沙、麦片和水果。有时是香肠和培根。
晚餐我们通常自己在家做饭,鸡肉和米饭,或者我喜欢用以前喜欢的菜谱,或者尝试一些新菜谱。我们不经常外出就餐,可能一周才一次。埃迪在周日做丰盛的晚餐。
