#5 8/1/14 Skype and Updates!

Hi all! It is exactly one month until I leave for DC, and then to Germany! I have been talking to my host family and skyping my host mom and sister lately and I'm so happyto be able to get to know them more before I get to Reken! Today my mom and host mom got to skype and talk.It was adorable to watch them talk and they are so similar! AFS really did a good job to match me with a family that us similar to mine. I found out I have 12 (Don't quote me on this) cousins who all live in the same village. Also my host dad has a twin which I thought was pretty cool.I am getting more and more excited each day. For now I am still working at Kennywood until I leave and I'm sure time is gonna fly by! 

I have recieved my travel notification and will be flying from DC on Sept. 5th and arriving on the 6th in Frankfurt, from there myself and some other students will go by train to Munster where my family will pick me up! :)

I have also been enrolled at school and will be in the same school as my host sister Lisa! I will be going to Gymnasium der Mariannhiller Missionare in Maria Veen which is only 7km from Reken (where I'll be living). 

That is about alll the news I have for now! While in Germany I will try to write updates as much as I can!
