ONE STEP CLOSER!!

Hey every one sorry it has been so long since my last update but so much has been happening has I am just so excited. First off I would like to say that soon after my last post I was headed off to Germany with an exchange program through the school and I just had the time of my life in Germany it was truly awesome. I was in Germany for two weeks and did so much and had so much fun. That same night I got back from Germany my grandpa came out for the fourth of July. We had a great time with him; we visited the arch and did a lot of other fun stuff.

Just this last weekend we have been in preparation for my student visa. I have had to get a state back round check in Jefferson City, get more passport photos, my passport, and provide a lot of other information. Then we had to send all of this information to AFS for them to give to the consulate.

I am so very excited for me leaving I just can not believe that in nearly 8 weeks in will be flying to New York for an orientation then my flight to Madrid. My host family said that from Madrid I will take a train to Jaen the province capitol. My host family and I had a webcam conference yesterday and I figured out my Spanish need a little improving (but so does my English). My host parents Loli and Jorge are very excited for me to come and I am the same way. I only have about 1300 left to raise and I am so close and so anxious for this it is unbelievable.
