did you recognized that I always start like that ? Kind of boring, but it's just the only thing I can think of haha.
First of all: I have a break !!! yah finally I had a break of 4 days haha. Well it's not much but it feels really good to know that I still have a sunday although I already felt like sunday today :)
Well the last to days were pretty busy though.
Thanksgiving was on thursday and it was a really long day haha. We left our house at 7:30 am cause we drove to Omaha. An hour later when we got there first we watched the awesome, big Belgum-American Parade (guys it were only maybe 12 men walking down the street with flags in their hands haha) and then church. And although it was a catholic mess it was still really different to the messes in Germany. The music was cooler and it was a way shorter. After church we went to a hall for breakfast/lunch. There I already got to know most of the family from my host dad's side. Well there was a ton of donuts and beagles and muffins haha I felt like in heaven. Yah well after hanging out with some of my host cousins, we went to my host mom's family for dinner. There were so many people and I had a few problems to remember all the names haha. But it was funny though especially because Sami (my sister) and I just fell asleep on the couch after dinner for 2 hours. Well dinner wasn't really dinner because we already ate at 3 pm haha. But it was sooooo good. Guys Turkey, mashed potatoes, cheesy potatoes, there was a lot of really yummy food.
After Sami's and my nap we even got desserts too. I just ate Apple squares and Pumpkin Pie cause I was soo full but there was a lot of food besides that too.
Well then we went to my dad's side of the family again for even more desserts ( I couldn't eat anything more besides two little cream puffs haha. Yah we just chilled there and talked and played "Pass the Ace" (a card game that only my host family plays I guess). It was just fun.
I LOVE THANKSGIVING!
and well when we are talking about THANKSgiving:
I am sooo thankful for everything right now. I am thankful for my friends back in Germany, my american friends, the opportunity to be here and especially for my family and my american family. I just love them!
Well then yesterday: Black Friday.
Okay maybe it is really special when you go shopping at night but I was to lazy to get up at 4 am when I had come home at 1 am, just to go shopping and stand in line. So I just went to the mall with a friend yesterday afternoon. I didn't buy anything and yah. For me it wasn't that special haha. But on our way back home from Omaha, we drove by a "best buy store" and we saw the people standing in line. The line was so long, they even stood around the whole building (and it's not a little one :D). I was so glad not to stand in line there.
Well this morning then my host mom and I went out for lunch with a man who she used to work with, because he wanted to get to know me cause he has a german background. It was fun although it was weird talking german again haha. It's normal to talk to my family and german friends in german but with people I don't know it's just weird in the beginning. But it was fun to hear about their connection to Germany and I hope we will meet again. I even got to know about a new band. And guess what, it's a german one haha. I already love their music and I am really glad they told me about them. I am gonna put the link to their website on here, so you can listen to them and read about them.
Well I guess that's it for now again. I am just really really happy here and I don't want the time to go by. Sure I miss my friends and family back in germany but I just love my family here and I get to know so many new people and I make so many new experiences. I am totally happy :)
xoxo
