Cheese? Chocolate? Switzerland?!?!

WIth time your mind seems to adjust to the way things are. I already feel that I have changed and grown so much in the past 4 months.

I recently had 2 weeks off from school for autumn break. Yes, We have autumn break here. :) During these 2 weeks I went to Italy and the Italian speaking part of Switzerland with my host parents. In Italy we visited Barbara's Brother Ueli. He lives about and hour from the city, Florenz. He is a really nice guy and he remembers my dad when he was here even though he was about 10 years old! I had a great time.

Right before my holidays, I received an early Christmas gift from my Grandpa!!! He got me a really nice Nikon camera! I LOVE IT!! I have already taken so many pictures. Probably too many but I am in love! :) Thank you again Grandpa! Love you!!

Barbara, Ueli, Christoph, and of coarse, the Family RV which we lived in it for 2 weeks! (lets just say that I am really happy to be sleeping in my bed in my own room now)!

Ice skating with Ella!!
Ella leaves in 2 months to go back to Australia  :( She recently moved to Schwändi!
She is my hot Chocolate buddy! I am going to miss her a lot but now I have a big excuse to have to go to Australia! :D 

Obviously, I could use some practice with Ice skating! :/

Cookie is still Cookie! :D

She leaves also in 2 months to go back home to Thailand. :(

Right when I get back to the states I am going to save up to go visit her!

I know that we are life-long friends. :)
