Just like most people back in the States, I am taking the day (July 4th) off from work because it’s a holiday. haha Just kidding. That’s not the reason why, but it actually did work out perfectly somehow. I will describe my host family in better detail later this weekend, but for this post’s sake I’ll just mention that my host dad is the principal of a boys’ boarding school. They have a music competition out of town so I was given permission to miss work and accompany the boys for a cultural experience. Since I will be out the entire day there’s not much time to write a post about my first weekend with my host family. I will leave that one as my next post.
Today I wanted to do three things:
- Wish all Americans a very festive Independence Day! 😀
- *Wish my dear cousin, Esteban, a super duper happy birthday!!! <3
- *Thank all of my friends and family in the military for being awesome, most especially Jenna-love, Suzanne, Marco, Joel, and Jesse! Our country would be nothing without your efforts.
Happy Fourth of July, yo! (Early, since it’s my bedtime already.)
