WEEKEND

Sorry I didn't write all weekend.
Saturday night I ended up going to a soiree with Charles-Antoine. This just happened to be the same party that everyone from school had been talking about all week, thrown by the parents of a boy named Richard at my school.
Here is a picture of me and Richard from a few weeks ago.

So. I basically lucked out to the most infinite extent. I got all dressed up (in one of Geraldine's dresses, which honestly didn't fit me perfectly, but that's life) and I had a blast. Parties like that don't exist in the United States. All of the boys had on suits and all of the girls were beautiful and all of the food and the drinks were free and it was in this huge building. I can't even find the words to describe it, but it was a fun night. It would have been fun even if all of my friends from school hadn't been there, but that made it much better. The party was an hour away by car, so I spent 2 hours alone in the car with my host brother Charles-Antoine, which was actually really fun. He's a cool guy.

The only problem of the night was that I forgot my memory card to my camera. So, I was only able to take four pictures. Below are the four pictures. Another girl had a camera and I've been waiting for her to upload the pictures to facebook, but she hasn't yet. So this is the best I've got for now. You can't really see my dress or anything cool, but I guess that's life.

Me and my best friend Maxime :)

Me and Quentin again.

So, after I took those four photos my memory was up, but I decided to just let it be and didn't worry about it. Now I really wished I had brought my memory card. Mais, c'est la vie. We stayed at the party until about two in the morning. I spent the night dancing, watching people play "kicker"- it's foosball, and the Belgians are OBSESSED with it-, and socializing with the lovely people at the party.

All I have to say is that I am very lucky. Everyone at my school is very nice and I am having a lot of fun here.

Sunday morning I ended up going to Aymeric's hockey game with Manon. The only thing is, hockey here isn't played on ice. It's field hockey. And I actually enjoyed watching it quite a lot. It helped that Aymeric was the star player making all of the goals. His team won with 8-0, and he scored about five of the eight points. His brother scored two of the others. It was an enjoyable game. Below are some pictures.

That's all for tonight.

I am asking for more prayers.

Last week one of Mikayla's friends died. Just today one of Emma's friends committed suicide. Please, pray for the families and everyone who has been affected by these deaths.

today I appreciate: breathing
