Aloha!
I know, I know – it’s been aages since I updated this, and I am utterly sorry. (I am convinced this is how I start off all of my entries. Sorry, kids.)
Anyhow, I’ve been really busy but I’ve also experienced so much during the last weeks, so I’ll just try to summarize all of my adventures to keep y’all updated, at least for a little bit.
On Friday, September 2nd some friends of me went to Moore war – it’s a yearly football game where our school’s football team (the Lions) play against West Moore’s Team. I’d been excited the whole day – this would be my first football game EVER ! When we got there it was really HOT and especially CROWDED. But we still got a pretty good spot. The game was awesome – even though I did not get everything what was going on, haha. Again: new to football! Please have regards. My friends and I left after the 3rd quarter of the game – our team was about to lose and we didn’t wanna leave when the mass of other people would leave, either.
So Shelby, Aubrey, their boyfriends and I went to Nick’s and spend some time in his swimming pool and hot tub which was absolutely fun!
Here is a picture of the five of us at the football game:
That’s the stadium:
After the game:
On Sunday September 4th Kylie, Leah (my host cousins), Emma (the other exchange student that used to live with Meme) and I had a slumber party at Meme’s. We went to target to buy food, went out for dinner, had a blast singing “this is why I’m hot” in the car and several German and Norwegian songs in the kitchen & dancing like a fool to it, eating self-made cinnamon rolls and cupcakes and watching “Something Borrowed” together. When Leah, Kylie and I were about to go to sleep in our room Meme tried to scare us with a doll’s head which was indeed kinda scary, haha.

Kylie, Leah & me
Additionally, we went to church with Leah on Wednesday and I was totally impressed! I had a great time and when Leah sang with her band I almost started crying because it was so beautiful. Awesome job, girl!
But later that week I had to stay home from school on Thursday and Friday since I had a huge cold, which sucked.
At the weekend when I still recovered Emma came over to live with us for a couple of days as a transition since she wanted to change her host family but they hadn’t found anyone yet. It lasted two weeks until they’d finally found a family & we brought her there yesterday; I’m really happy for her & I hope everything will work out and that it’s everything she’s ever wanted! Good luck, Emma!! (:
Also, I finally bought a phone service – the internet could be better but I can finally text unlimitedly! Yay!
On top of that, we went out to eat with some other family members and it was awesome getting to know many more people! We went to a Texan diner and the food was sooo good. And you could just grab some peanuts, eat ‘em and throw their shell on the floor – hence there were nutshells dispersed everywhere in the restaurant, haha!
And even though the last week has been amazingly stressful, there’ve been some awesome events. For example, Castle’s new season premiered last Monday! OMG; I WAS SO PUMPED. And it was one of the most amazing episodes ever <3 (Isi, Lisa – ya jealous? Haha )I love how I got so many people hooked on this show; most recently my host sister, haha!
If you wanna get into the show, here’s the trailer for season 4: (Caution: spoiler alert.)
Sorry for fangirling, I just love this show.
Oh, wait – I’m not done yet.
I recently ordered Kelly Clarkson’s new album “STRONGER” which will be released on Oct 24th and OMG I’m the most excited person EVER. This will be like the best album ever. Go pre-order it, if you haven’t already!!!! It’s so great being able to watch her performances on tv in real time!! Even though she was in Germany and in Frankfurt a couple of days ago, which made me pretty frustrated haha. Buuut I got to buy her new single here! YAY ! Look:
And here’s Kacy holding Emma’s & my crap while I freaked out over a cd lol!
Okay, ANYWAYS, back to the set of events.
I got to sit in David’s race car!!! Aaand when he brought me back to our house that evening, he drove me with a quad-bike thingy! (I have no idea how to call it in English, sorry haha!)
Here’s me in the car:
And David:
Within the last days we also went shopping – which was awesomeeee! I found some pretty cool shirts for quite a good deal!
And THIS is one of my fave stores:
Plus, it was Kacy’s Birthday last Wednesday! We had a smaaall get-together and ate cake, which was fun.
And this is the result of Kacy & me staying up late talking:
Haha, I looooove that gangster picture! :D
Also, we all went to the fair on Tuesday and Friday! On Tuesday Kim, a friend of hers, Kacy & I went to “´Disney On Ice – Toy Story 3” where we got this amazing, green, monster hat! I loved it!!! And afterwards we rode a rollercoaster and I tried fried pickles! (they fry pretty much everything at the fair: Oreos, Butter (?!?!), Twinkies.. I’ve even heard of fried BEER. (Really?! Lol.) EVERYTHING. On Friday we focused more on the buildings & they really had some cool stuff! But everything was so expensive L ..So I ended up just buying food, haha! OMG, but Emma and I almost tried dog food, HAHAHA. (Luckily we noticed it was for dogs before we reached out to grab a free piece)
It was the first time I’ve ever tried chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick (Sounds brackish, but it was DELICIOUS.)
This is me wearing the most adorable bear hat at the fair:
On Friday it was homecoming at my school which was really interesting since I’d never seen it before! After the assembly there was a parade – they went all the way through Moore and spread candy. It was fun and everyone looked so precious in their dresses!
Yesterday after we dropped Emma off we went to a store called “Old Navy” which was marvelous. In the evening I met up with two of my friends, Alona & Allysa (they’re awesome) and we went to watch “I don’t know how she does it” at Warren’s (that’s a huge movie theatre)
Afterwards we went to a sushi place & I ate sushi for the first time – I really liked it!!! I had a blast with y’all!
The three of us in front of Warren’s.

Tonight Desperate Housewives new season will premiere and I can’t wait!!
Aaaand just 13 more days until the Sugarland concert – WOOOOOOO !!!!!
Anyways, I’m gonna stop now – I know, I talk waaaaaay to much. Gotcha ;)
Still – I TRY to update this as soon as possible!
And I hope everyone over there’s doing well! Have a great day y’all!
