Hi Friends!!

well, it has been quite some time since I have last visited my blog, let alone writen some words about what I have been up to. Writing just isn't really my thing I have noticed more and more. Talking is way easier!
So, I have been in Europe for six months now. This is half way time, but it really does not seem like it. I was thinking about it the other day and the thought occured to me that many people only leave for six months and I desided that I would definitly not be ready to come home yet. I am not ready to switch to my new placement in a week either.
I have been here in Dühren-Sinsheim with Familie Aberle for six months now, and I have enjoyed every moment here, but I feel like I have only jsut arrived here in things such as making friends and connecting to people my age. If kind of feels like packing up camp when you have just started to set up the tent.
January has definitly been a good month. We have had lots of snow. I have gone tobboganing with the kids quite a bit and today we even started shoveling a pile for a quinzy. The are so excited to build a 'Schneehöhle' just like we do in Canada.
Christmas was also very nice. I got to spend this time with my relatives and it was wonderful to finally have this childhood dream of spending Christmas with my Oma and cousins come true. I was sick, but had a wonderful time none the less. It was good to be among people who know me, where I am not always new.
As of Febuary 8th I will be at my new placement with Familie Fellmann. I am very excited about this, but the goodbyes are always hard and saying good bye here will be no exception!
Till next time! :)
