Salut peeps,
I have been trying to make the time to sit down and blog for about a week now but I haven't been able to do it until just now! Hahaha!:)
Last friday was my 16th birthday and I got the biggest surprise ever that morning when I woke up!
Little bit of a back story:
The night before my birthday I went skiing with my host dad and when we got home I was super exhausted and just wanted to have a chill night! But my host parents told me they had plans and were going to go out for drinks with some of their old friends. obviously I didn't think anything of it and just said ok, ill be here!:) But then my host mom also told me that she stepped on a rock in my room that day and that I needed to vacuum and clean up just a tad, I knew already that I needed to clean up a "tad", but I thought the rock thing was a little weird. However I know myself and it was possible that I had somehow brought a rock in there! LOL! Anyway, they went out to dinner and when they got home I went to say goodnight and my host mom tells me that she is going to bring me breakfast in bed the next morning for my birthday! I was thinking, 'well isn't that nice, I've never had breakfast in bed', but she was super serious about it. She kept telling me, "I am bringing you breakfast in bed and you can't get up before I bring it to you. You can get up to go to the bathroom, but then you have to get back in bed." I just thought she really really wanted to bring me breakfast in bed. So then I went to sleep.
The next morning I was woken up by someone singing me happy birthday in english! It was a voice I had only heard through computer speakers, for the past 5 months! My PARENTS and BROTHER had come to France and surprised me for my birthday! Safe to say I was in literal shock. When I saw them and realized what was happening, I immediately started crying! I was so happy to see them! It was so so fun having them here in Wittelsheim and them getting to meet my host family and see where I have been living! they stayed for 3 days and I showed them mulhouse and strasbourg and we went up in the vosges and hiked! It was just super great! The night of my birthday my friends also threw me a surprise party! I thought I was going to have cake with them later that night and they ended up being at the restaurant I went to for dinner! It was ever better that they did that because my parents also got to meet all my lovely friends!:) over all it was the best birthday ever and I will NEVER NEVER forget it!
Then this week I went on a ski trip with my class for 3 days and that was super fun also! We stayed in this Chalet on the mountain where we were skiing, it is called Markstein. I actually got to ski a lot because we skied based on skill level and in groups. My group was the people that already knew how to ski and there were only like 5 of us so we got to ski everything, green, blue, red (blue/black in the US) and blacks. It was really really a great trip and it gave me the chance to hang with all my class mates and spend some good time with them!
PICTURE TIME!!!!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend
XOXO
