I Moved!!!!!

Hey, so I've been meaning to get this blog up sooner but every time I tried one thing or another prevented me from keeping you guys in the loop on how things are progressing here in the land of the Germans.

As you know Kyle and i went to Hamburg and on the 6th of January Kyle flew to Spain and i returned to Hann. Muenden. I arrived home early in the afternoon, quickly finished packing my stuff, which has exponentially grown in the last 4 months, and moved host families. This, was a very, very strange experience and I was not really looking forward to "starting over" with another family. I arrived at the host families house, which is about 15 minutes by foot from where I used to live, ate some cake with Inga and my new host family then Inga left and I was on my own once again with a new German family. Now would probably be a good time to explain to you what this family looks like. My host moms name is Jutta and she works at a local bank here in Muenden and is a single mom. I have a host sister named Laura who is 14 years old.

So, this past week has been spent getting to know my host family, watching Deutschland Sucht Ein Superstar, which is the equivalent to American Idol and we all know how funny American Idoal can be at the start...well...picture that with Germans...ya...kinda intense, playing Uno extreme, reading alot, wishing it was colder and praying for some snow. It has been very easy and my host family and I have gotten along great. We are going to Berlin next weekend and I am so excited for that.

Oh and in other news I hit the half way point here on this little thing called my exchange. Yup, as of Friday I had been in Germany for 140 days. And if we all do the math correctly that means i will be home June 1st.

Overall, things are going really well here in Germany and I'm living it up, just like I said i would.

Enjoy the pictures, they are of my room and the view from my room.

Love,

Tyler
