Hi guys!

Well I guess I'm a really bad blogger? I haven't made a blog for a long time,

and I'm so sorry about that! But I didn't want to talk about all my bad experiences!

But to make it short, I have changed families twice!!! And I just didn't want to write

about all the crap I have been through the last few months! But EVERYTHING IS

ALL RIGHT NOW!

First of all I won the trip to Hawaii! It was this contest EF Discovery tour made,

you had to send a video in by your 3 favorite places in your hometown, and then

they would pick their top 3 which I was in, and then it was all about getting most

"likes" out of the 3. I had a lot of fun, with making the movie!

But I want to say thank you to all of you, for helping me with the votes,

didn't expect to win! But $2400 / 1300kr in my pocket, and a FREE trip to HAWAII!!

From thanksgiving to now I lived with my temporary host family the Carsons!

A really nice family out in Moapa, and hour from Vegas in the desert! I had a lot of

fun together with them, and appreciate that they took care of me! There isn't really

any host families left her in Nevada, so EF couldn't really find any families at all!

So I started to try by myself, but it's not easy when you are 9 hours away from home,

and you don't know anybody! But I asked my friend Kris, which is a friend of mine,

from my old school, if she knew anybody? She asked me to write a letter about myself,

and 3 days later (3rd january), she told me she found a wonderful family for me!

I was so excited about the news! I didn't really know anything about the family,

but the family wanted me to move as soon as possible, so the next day I called my

RC, and asked if she would talk with the family, so she called them! Because of

exams coming up I couldn't move school to after the semester! But the family would

like to have me over for the weekends. So Friday the 7. January my RC drove me

to their home, and there they was, ready to welcome me! Besides that I spend the

next weekend with them again.

Thursday I ended my exams, 5 exams in one day! I'm telling you, it was CRAZY!!

But after my exams, I was headed to Vegas to my new home! So now I'm here with my

new wonderful family The Marcos! My family consist of my mom Kiersten, my dad Keith, sister Lauren 12, and my other sister Sarah 10! I am so happy for them, I know this is a REALLY good match! I know I'm going to have the best half year of my life with them!

I'm will start to make some more blogs! But I'm gonna go now, so I cant spend some time with my lovely family! (will take some pictures of the family soon)

Love ya!
