Important News...

I know who my next host family is! Normally this is something that kids find out a little earlier (I am going to switch in January) but I´m just happy to know! I will be living with my Aunt Viki! I love her! This is such happy news! I went on a big trip to Central México with her in October, but I literally spend some time every other day at their house because they live with my host Grandma. I think of her as my "fun aunt" and am very excited to live with her and her children.

My cousins are Virginita (11) and Bernardo (13)- I really enjoy spending time with them too. They are great kids and Virginita was my first friend here in México :) I love my current host family, but I´m not sad to switch because I will still probably see them every day, they have also told me many times that if anything doesn´t work out, I am always welcome in their home. The odds of staying in the same extended family were pretty good as about 80% of my club here are blood-relatives. Still- I think it is great that I will be able to experience another home, while still maintaining a relationship with one family. Also- my aunt lives by my favorite running park in the city.

I can´t imagine a more omfortable and natural host family swap and am very excited to get this news! Happy December 12th!
