On Sunday, March 1, I got to meet my host family. There was a little girl, Deilyn, and her parents. Deilyn is the cutest girl ever! She's in 3rd grade at the CEC.
On March 3, I woke up at my usual time of 5:30 and started to get ready for work. As soon as Deilyn saw me, she wished me a happy birthday. I was so happy and excited that she remembered it was my birthday from when I told her the first day. We came back from horseback riding, and they made me an extremely nice dinner. And they brought out flan and pumpkin pie for dessert! I wasn't expecting that at all! I couldn't believe that they did that for me - especially after only knowing them for approximately two days. It made me realize how close I was to them and how close they were to me. Honestly, I wouldn't want any other family. Yes, the shower water is freezing and yes, they have no wifi, but I will never trade these in for a different family. These people are my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
