hi, and thank you so much about the house of terror, and taht you organized everything! i had a blast!!!

but here is my report, which is a little late.. sorry!!

the first day after halloween...

i have been busy, very busy.. and i don`t know where to begin.. well.. now when i have been here like tree months.. i think.. everything is just getting better! i remember the flight when i arrived and that how paniging i was.. of course... there i was in the airport and my host family, my host grand-mom Bob Roberts, John Aquino, and Candace Rogers was there also.. i think i will remember that day the rest of my life.. but the only thing is that i don`t reember what happened in the airport... everything was new and cool, and amazing!! and i liked it. I was in Florida! in the car my host sisters were right away very sister-like and asked me about do we have Mc Donalds in Finland... and how is it there.. i felt like a home rigt away! and after i even knew, we were in the first rotary meetin.. like half an hour later i arrived!!

rotary-meeting was huge! there was like hundred people there and my host dad interdused me in front of everydody and i told something about myself...

after that our trip to home began.. and of course i had no idea about anything... they had mede me my own room, and the room is very beautiful!

At the first night here, in my hosthome were the whole family, and we ate a family dinner... and i told about Finland..

then my life suddently turned out to be very busy... i went to Miami metro zoo with my cousins and grand parents, and we experienced the hurricanes, and lost our power..

And we went also to Boston.. Actually we supposed to escape hurricane Iven.. but it didn`t came here.. luckily.. and in boston we had alot of fun. We saw all these historial things and i ate my first lobster.. and i loved it!

I also started to run cross country and the team is awsome! but now when soccer has began, i am not able to do that anymore..

the school is nice. I am in catholic school named Cardinal Gibbons high school, and we are doing alot of things in the school.. last week we had a movie night in the football field and we watched the movie called the Ring! It was so much scarier there in the big screen than in tv! but it was a lot of fun also!

yes, that`s rigth.. i lived my first halloween this weekend.. and it was a cute experience!! At school we had halloween dance at friday night, and i was a hula girl..  I went to dance with some friends from cross courty and it was a lot of fun.. all kind of costumes and dancing..

saturday morning i went to barn with Sally and Maggie. We dressed her(Raven) hula horse and she looked very beautiful. Maggie and her friend were also hulagirls, and they, all tree looked very cute!

after that jeanie took us to Miami to the house of terror, where were all the exchange studenst! eventhoug it was kind of scary sometimes it was a lot of fun also!

at sunday night i went to trick or treat with my host sisters. it was a fun experience.

My host family is very nice. i kind of feel like to be home here. i am doing al the other things than i usually do, and i am helping to do landry and set the table..
