Most recent update (:

Im terrible at keeping my blog update, unskyld alle sammen :(
Ok so heres a DETAILED account of what has been going on in my life here in Denmark.

I moved to my third family about 4 weeks ago. I moved to another city about 15 km away, so a new area that I had to get familiar with. It was difficult for me to move at first because its always hard to be uprooted so many times when your so comfortable. But now 4 weeks later I will tell you those feelings no longer exist. I enjoy the time I am spending here VERY much with my new family. We have spent a bit of quality time together over the vinterferie for a week at their summer house. It was fun and and very realxing. It reminded me of the time up north at nana and papa's cabin- being lazy, eating great food, and just enjoying time together. I had a great time. Also, at the end of the break I went for a little trip to Monchengladbach, Germany to vist a former exchange student friend. Ricarda and I had a great time together. And it was such an experience to see how her exchange changed her, we talked as though we have been friends since we were litle! It wa great. Also, I saw quite a bit of the german culture. I saw a handball match, a regular weekend, meet her friends, and went to school with her. It was EXACTLY what I wanted in a trip, and that is to understand the lifestyle, not just see things, but experience them. It was great. It probably will go down as one of my best moments of 2010!
Currently things are going very well. This Friday I will be going to Shannon, Ireland to visit a family friend and to experience the irish St. Patrick's Day! I cant wait it will be great.
And in 2 weeks I will be going with my class for a week for a study tour to Barcelona, Spain. It will be great, and hopefully we will get warm weather there ! Then I will return home for 2 days and head off to Athens, Greece with my host family. We plan on staying there for a week and long enough to see a greek orthadox easter mass. So it will be a GREAT 4 weeks coming up. I really am excited to visit all these places.

So therefore, overall, things are pretty amazing right now. Its getting closer and closer to the end, but as of now Im just soaking everything in and enjoying what Europe has to offer me.
I am truly blessed for all these wonderful people making all these adventures possible. Thank you all so much.

All my love and best wishes <3
