Mountains, Discos, Boots...oh my!

I am so sorry to all my dedicated blog followers! I have taken a little hiatus(yes family i now know how to spell that word after the 50 emails you send me about it) from my blog writing, but I will try to write a quick something. I'll just share two things that stick out from the last two weeks.

My host cousin is part of the girl/boy scouts. But it is more of a mix between that and a youth group...and semi cooler. I went on a retreat with them last week. We stayed in a tiny pueblo built right beside a mountain. It was nice because the older kids were given a little free time from being the camp counselors to hike up one of the mountain/hills Saturday afternoon. Other than that we played typical camp type games and did a choreographed dance while dressed up like elfs! The most entertaining part was a game we played where you had to steal the flag from someones back. Obviously I was the champion of this game and plowed through everyone by tackling them and wrestling. My host brother is still mad about the fact that I beat him twice.

We returned to the Disco Tecca this week! We went Thursday for the class party of the private school in my town. I went even though I don't go to the school, because my friends do. But this also meant that I happened to have school the next day and therefore had to wake up 3 hours after I went to sleep. It was a costume party and we went dressed up like lumberjacks! We danced till about 4 30 am, then I walked home with a group of people as it snowed. First snow of the year(it wasn't a lot though and only lasted for about 10 min).

Quick Potpurri:
1. I discovered I actually like fish
2. I feel safer here, it dosen't seem as dangerous. And its not wierd to walk home in the dark as long as your with other people.
3. I have officially given my host mom my credit card to hide from me as to prevent me from spending more more...I have a shopping addiction.
4. The boots here are so amazing...I want to buy them all!
5. Christmas is approaching...dosen't feel like it at all though!!
6. Every weekend I find myself teaching people how to fist pump or frollock jajajajaja!

  4. Take a picture of them, too. I need really wide, wide boots. Do they make them wide? My calves are like Popeye's.

    I sent you a package a couple of days ago, keep an eye out.
