I HAVE A FAMILY!!!

ciao! the exciting news of the week is that i got my living assignment for when i'm in italy. i have a family!! i will be living with a couple and their two boys, ages 12 and 15. thats pretty cool, because most of the girls i talked with are living either with an older couple or an older single lady. so this will be fun, definatly an experience! still trying to figure out what to take them for an "american" gift, any good ideas?


i finally finished the top of my quilt this week. i just want you all to know that it takes a loooong time to quilt! but it was fun, its big enough for a queen size bed, and it has bright, fun colors, so i like it!


i have also been very busy cooking. i made home made doughnuts, fresh peach pie, pizza, and..... TOFU enchiladas!! and it was surprisingly good - dad didnt even notice that he was eating tofu! of course... mom and i didnt tell him... but it was really good, i recommend the reciepe, just let me know if you want it!


five days left till i leave for italy... i have done my shopping, and now need to pack and see if it will all fit! i am still listening to italian, and attempting to speak a little of it around the house... by this time next week, i will be surrounded by it! wish me luck...

  1. Haha - Dad didn't even know he was eating tofu?!?! How funny! So tofu is supposed to absorb the taste of everything around it...so what did it taste like? Wow - donuts! And LOVE that quilt! It does take a LONG time and I have NO patience for quilting! :)

  2. It's been fun having you do all these new things this summer! You are quite the natural. I think you forgot to mention the hot fudge sauce you made last week and late last night.
    Yum again!
