Better late than never :)

Okay guys, I am doing it. I am finally posting a blog with PICTURES! I may not put descriptions for everyone and if you have questions, ask... I will post a lot, but Facebook has even more, so go crazy! I am currently sitting on my balcony. I love being out here. It is so nice to chill and be outside. I guess now would be a good time for some pictures... So here are some of my house :)  This is my closet! I share it, but I love it :)


 This is my bed and I share my room with my host sister, so it is her bed too!

And these are the doors from the balcony into my room :)

I don't have a ton of the house and I don't want to bore you with a ton of details. But I love my house and I feel at home with my host family! In my host family I have a host sister, Veronica, who is my age and is currently in Atchison, Kansas on exchange :) I ave a younger host sister Irene, she is 11. I also have three host brothers! One is 12, Corrado, one is 15, Damiano, and Stefano is 4 months old :) I LOVE having a baby in the house. He is so cute and I love to play with him! I also have two host parents! Simonetta and Roberto Vitali!

This first picture is baby Stefano :) He is currently crying... lol. :)


Here is the rest of the family, minus my host dad! From left to right, Damiano, Corrado, Simonetta, Irene, me and baby Stefano :) They are super sweet and these last two weeks getting to know them, have been awesome! :)



Okay, moving on! I have made quite a few friends since I have been here also! A lot of my host sister, Veronica's friends have been coming over to hang out with me and it is really nice to know some Italians! I also have met all the other exchange students and I love them so much! We have done alot of Rotary stuff since we hve been here, and although it isn't always the most exciting thing, I always have fun with them! I feel so close to all of them, even after only two short weeks. Yesterday the exchange students went to Salo, Italy for our orintation meeting and it was so much fun! I have never been to a more beautiful place! It is on Lake Garda, which you have to google! Because words cannot describe just how breathtaking it is. I count my blessings everyday knowing I get to wake up in one of the most beautiful places on earth! But anyways, at this orientation meeting we walked around Salo and visited some dead poets house... I don't know who he is because I have the attention span of a peanut. So if you are super interested I am sure you can like google it ;) I apologize for the little info I can give! The meeting was fun and I got to speak English all day which was a plus! So now I will post some pictures of yesterday and a few with my friends! <3


All the girl exchange students! In beautiful Salo! :)



The view. It looks like a painting.

When exchange students see a naked statue... :)


Some of the Italian girls! :)




Alright, I have to go because I have been on WAY too long! I will update soon! See you later ;) CIAO!
