Holiday- Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day. Quite a lot of people don't have school today, and quite a lot of people dont have to work today. Which is nice, in my opinion. It gives everybody freetime, springtime, and a lot of fun time..... I know what I'm doing for Memorial Day. Today we are having a BBQ at our house, but also, me and my sister are going swimming with one of our neighbors.
I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you know that in France, and all over Europe, they have a Holiday, just like we do?? It's on July 14th, and I'm gonna be able to celebrate with Olivia and her family this day in the French Rievera.
I"M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this blog about?? (cont.)

Ok, so this is a continuation of my last post.
This blog is about my adventures, but of course, I'm going to be sharing my personal experiences on thus blog, because, I started this blog a wee bit early. I'm only leaving in July!!!!!!
I plan to try to update this blog daily, but it will probably turn into me updating it about every other day.
Before I go to France, my posts will most likely be quotes, but as I said, personal experiences.....

What is this blog about????

Ok, so you guys may be wondering why did I set up this blog anyway?? Well, it all started 2 years ago....

One night, my mom got an e-mail from a family in France. They wanted to exchange me and their 9 year old daughter Olivia, for 6 months. My mom decided that that time period was too long for a 9 year old, so they agreed on 4-6 weeks.
Olivia came out 1st, and her mom came too. We had a party at our house, and then, Olivia's mom left. When Olivia came over, she knew nothing about the English culture, and not the language either.
But 6 weeks went by fast. Her family came out to pick her up, and then they traveled around the States. We kept in contact, and are still friends, through e-mail.

I can't wait until summer time!!!! Wait, it's practically summer!!!!!!!!!!
