Im really really happy right now i just got to sit down with my host mom and just hang. I showed her pictures of all my friends in america and vancouver and portland and my parents it made me super happy. I was actually able to communicate with her. every time she would see my friends she would go "KAWAII!!!" and every i stopped on a pic of dad she would go "Emmas otoosan!!!!!!" and same for mom. i just love her :) kinda content right now, but also a little nervous i move to my next host family this weekend. Wish me luck!
