So, its been forever since I've written, so I'll start back in December. I went home for Christmas - which was great! I loved being home in the cold and snow and BAKING! It was great to see my family as well.
So, I got off the plane and we went to the Hot Springs! Oh, it was so lovely. I must say if I don't live in the west when I'm older, I'm going to truly miss the hot springs. We went home and had a delicious dinner of Lasagna - one of my favs! Thanks mom! And then I spent a lot of time trying to get ready for Christmas and seeing people. We had a get together where I saw a bunch of friends and a little family - and it was so nice to see everyone. They were all so supportive and interested - which was not what I was expecting because life here can be so hard to explain and relate to! It was great. Then, we spent about 5 days up at the cabin for New Years! There wasn't much snow, but we had great fun playing hockey on the pond and ping pong in the barn. Lastly, I went to Denver with my sister. I saw a lot of family and a few friends, which again was great. I did go to the mall and was appalled by what people where. Here, when people go to buy in town, they wear a nice skirt and shirt or men wear slacks and a nice shirt. In the states people looked like they had just rolled out of bed - I was quite offended by it - I guess that's one thing I will miss here!
But overall, America was great. Having running hot and cold water, indoor showers that don't electrocute you, seeing family and friends, and traveling in private transportation were all quite the luxuries! However, I will miss people's formalities here, being invited to whoever's house whenever, and the delicious fruit!
