Mia famiglia!!!! (my family!)

Well, I guess this post is kind of past due, but I was trying to figure out what exactly I should say, because I kept waiting for ALL of the information to come through.

Janelle called Wednesday afternoon, and then later that night I received an email that...I got a that I have a host family!!!! I am extremely excited! I was placed in a family that has two little boys. One who is 9 and the other is 5. I will be living in Monselice, a town that is 40 minutes from Venice. The family is very close, they visit their grandparents a lot, they say they like to go site seeing, and they just seem like a cool family from what Janelle said. When I got to the files AFS gave me (which was on my AFS account page), what I was able to see was: Everyone in the family's name, their birth dates (so that's how I figured out how old the kids were), the address and contact information, and then I got the address of the school. I will be going to Instituto Scolastico Cattaneo...I think I spelled that right.

I emailed my family the night I got their info (Wednesday) and my host dad responded this morning. He said (in italian) that they could not wait to meet me in person, and the kids are already talking about me. :) I think thats a good thing...haha!

Here are their names:
Host Madre- Alessia
Host Padre- Daniele
Host fratelli (brothers)- Enrico e Nicola
Ciao for now!
