Halloween preparations, Movies & Wedding

Hey you guys ! I am so sorry that I didnt write for a long time but I had too much to do.

I will start to tell you about the 7th of october : I was carving pumpkins at Grandma Debbies with Gretta, Westin and Candice. First we had to pick a pumpkin and after I took the biggest pumpkin of all we had to carve them. That was so much fun, I just put my hand in it and tried to get everything out of it (that was slimy I can tell ! ) But still it was so much fun. Then I decided to cut a funny face in it and Ill show you guys later how my pumpkin looks like :)

The following weekend (14.10 - 16.10) was a lot of fun too ! :) I went to the movies at friday with a couple friends (Julia, Allison, Kevin and Garrett) and we watched "footloose". But it was not very easy to decide in which movie we should go cause there were too many...but after a while the Americans decided that the germans (that was me and Julia) shall decide which movie so we chose footlose. The movie was pretty much fun cause we talked the whole time about all kind of things but the movie. Haha. The movie was done at round 11:15 pm so we went home after it and I went to bed.

The next day I had another wedding but this time my hostmom asked me if I would like to ask Julia if she wants to come with us to the wedding, so I asked her and she said yes :) The church was very small and it had FLATSCREENS !! Unbelievable! After the church was over we went to the house of my hostmoms mom for a couple minutes and then we drove to the PARTY ! I have to say the food was delicious : Mashed potatos, corn, meet and for desert DAIRY QUEEN ice cream. We danced the whole night til our legs got sore and they played a lot of country music. ( I start to love coutry music! ) We also danced a few line dances , with that I mean dances everyone knew with simple steps it was awesome! After we got home at 1 am we went to bed but Julia and I werent very tired so we talked a little bit til we fell asleep.

Sunday was pretty boring instead of the skyping with my family ! And it was my big brothers birthday too so that was quite favorable that we skyped on that day. Because of my brothers birthday my Grandmom and other friends and relatives of the family were at our house so I was able to talk to each of them. That was funny :) haha

The school week is pretty much as always: School til 3 pm and after school Musical rehearsal.

So this weekend we had MEA that meand we had no school on Thursday and Friday ! So my hostmom and I went shopping down by the cities in an outlett mall. I bought soooooo many things and we had soooo much fun ! The highlight of that day was eating supper at "Mongos Grill" and it was sooo delicious !

On Friday we went down to my hostmoms mom and we made cookied (yummy) and at 8 pm Julia picked me up so we went to a haunted house in sauke centre. That was funny and not scary haha ! I asked the persons in the house "whats your name ? Is it fun to work here?..."  I had to do that because I didnt want to get scared and I had to go FIRST because Julia and her hostsister didnt want to go first...and after the haunted house julia and me went to Dairy queen :) haha I JUST LOVE IT

We went to my hostdads parents on Saturday cause we all helped cleaning the barn. That was kind of fun too but my arms got sore and i got blisters on my hands...but still...I had a little exercise haha :)

And today I just did nothing , so pretty boooooring, and tomorrow is school....AGAIN ! -.-
Thats pretty much it. Talk to you soon guys ! Love ya all :*

Hey guys :)
Last week we had homecoming and it was awesome ! Why does my german school not have something like this ?! It is so cool ! Well, the week was crazy cause the whole school was dressed up and stuff ! So we had different themes each day and on friday we all were dressed in the school colors purple and gold. In the 5th hour we had a prep fest and after that we had a parade ! It was so much fun to sit on those big car trailers and to throw with candy :) The musical group had its own trailer and we all had to wear our new musical shirts ! They are so adorable! After school we had musical practice and after that I went home to get ready for the footballgame and the dance afterwoards. The footballgame was so much fun ! I went there with my two german friends Johanna and Julia and my hostdad and my hostsister Gretta :) The dance started round 9 pm and ended at Midnight ! We danced the whole night and it was AWESOME !

On Saturday Candice, Jason and I went to a wedding. We stayed there til 00:15 and Candice and I danced so much that my legs hurt !

And today I had a meeting with my organisation at the Missessippi headwaters :) The weather was so freakin nice outside and it was soooooo warm ! So I finnaly met Lea again , it was so good to see her and the other exchange students. So after that program was finished Viivi (the finnish exchange student) , her hostdad , an italian exchangestudent and his hostmom and me walked a little bit around the headwaters and we took pictures from the orange trees , they are so pretty !
