I LOVE MY LIFE

Can I just say once again how I have the most awesome host family in the world?
And how perfect my life is?
Be jealous of me. Be VERY jealous. MUAHAHAAH I love my life!
Do you know why I have the most perfect life in the world? Well first of all, I'm in Belgium. And I love it. I was so mopey about coming when I first left, but damn. I am so glad I came. I get to travel basically every other weekend, I have met the coolest people ever, I have an internship, I still talk to the people I love at home... I'm just so happy because of me and what kind of life I'm leading right now. I'm so happy!

Today was an example of how great everything is. Tonight was my host daddy-o's 40th birthday party, so I went grocery shopping with my dearest host mom (I really do think she's my favorite person in Belgium. She's so bubbly and goofy and wonderful! She makes my host family experience the best it could possibly be. We stay up late chit-chatting and giggling in front of the tv watching silly shows like "Date in the Dark" with the fireplace. I love her!) and her buddy, and then spent the morning making cupcakes and pumping to Black Eyed Peas.

And I made jell-o shots with them HAHA god, my family is so cool. Dang. P.s. jell-o is not sold here except in the "ethnic" aisle in the UK section, and it's not in powdered form but rather concentrated gelatin. This made our jell-o shots a taaad stronger than they shouldve been. Whoops heh but no one complained!

And then the party got started! Barbs, my host mom, asked her friends to come be singing telegrams for Marc, my dad. So three ladies came dressed like the Charlie's Angels trio when they dressed up as the Dutch/Swiss girls who did a singing telegram for the guy from whom they needed a scan of his eye (remember they hid the scanner in the big tuba/sousaphone?), so they were wearing blonde wigs and short shorts and red suspenders hhaahaha it was funny.And my parents started taking salsa lessons in the summer, so they invited their salsa teacher to come, and he brought salsa/merengue/bachata cds, and I SALSA-ED! Who knew the first time I danced in Europe would be in my own living room? It was so fun--I was so so so so happy to be dancing again. And the teacher danced with me a lot, and he was really rather good! Seriously, it felt so good to dance again.
And then one of the singing telegram girls gave me her blonde wig and told me to keep it because I looked so good in it. And then she told me to wear it everywhere and I'd get all the boys hahahaha
My family is so cool... Two months ago, I had no idea I'd be dancing to the Pussycat Dolls with girls dressed as Charlie's Angels in blonde wigs in the middle of my living room in Belgium.
I
love
my
life.
