This will be long...

Alright so first things first, Thanksgiving was last Thursday. That was interesting but fun. I cooked my first turkey well and my first Thanksgiving meal, so that was a lot of fun. Megan came over and helped me cook and ate with us. We had dinner with my rotary youth councelor guy and his wife and then my host family and me and Megan. They liked all of the food a lot except for the pumpkin pie that was odd because it was soooo good. We had to teach them how to eat sweet potatoes too which was also kind of weird considering the amount of potatoes these people eat. So that went pretty good. Here are some pics from my Thanksgiving...

Pretty much things are going A LOT better. I can like somewhat speak German, enough to communicate so people understand me it's not always correct or anything but at least people can talk to me and understand what I say back lol. I'm getting more friends, like friends who call me to hang out lol so that's cool. I'm really starting to like things here.

Last weekend was Erika's birthday, same day as dads (Saturday 24. Nov.) so we all stayed at Megans in Ulm again. I love her host family they are so nice. They have all boys so I think Suzi (the host mom) likes having us girls around. They call us daughters 1, 2, and 3...I'm tochter 2...lol we're going there again next weekend for a rotary thing in Ulm and all of the students are staying with familys so of course me and Erika are staying with Megans. I'm so excited for it!

Oh and if you have any ideas about why American christmas is different than other ones, please let me know lol because in my English class we are having a christmas party and my teacher wants me to come up with some things about American chirstmas that we can do..

Ok well I was going to write something else but I totally forgot so when I remember I'll write it down ok

Liebe grüß!
