Thanksgiving in July
So here is a little more background about me.
I have this addiction to Turkey!
Words can not express.
So my patents and I are planning this big party in July.
My graduation, 18th birthday, and going away to Switzerland.
We are inviting EVERYONE!
And we were trying to figure out what to serve for dinner.
I do not eat much meat. Mostly only turkey and chicken.
So when my mom asked if I wanted a BBQ (which my town is famous for) I said no. When she asked if I wanted Mexican style pork tacos (because we hear Mexican food is slow to come by in Europe) I said no.
THEN my mom asked if some roasted turkey would be nice. I got SO excited I probably planned the whole meal in under ten seconds!
A thanksgiving party!!!!
The food will be awesome! A reminder of the American life I am leaving, and with those three things to celebrate it really is a day to be grateful!
Not to mention that I will be excepting donations for my year abroad while at this party and I can be grateful for my company!
God is good.
THANKSGIVING IN JULY
No regrets!

A true story
Hi everyone,
This just happened today about 3 hours ago.
And it is a story of what just happened to a very close friend of mine.
My friend Mo is an exchange student, he was riding his bike home from school when he got hit by a car.
He is doing ok, some staples in his head, a strained neck, and lots of road rash.
Luckily he was wearing a helmet.
Just a reminder that we are not invincible.

American Prom TIPS
For any students that are coming to America, you can look forward to Prom. It is pretty great. I went with a boy from China and had a great time.
Here are somethings I learned from it:
For hair: an updo is the way to go! If you have it down by the end of the night its frizzy, knotted, messy, you look like you just survived a zombie apocalypse.
Dress: go long or go home. This is prom. There are few times in life you can wear a floor length dress... basically prom and you wedding. So go long you will be greatful.
Also for the dress if the bodice has rhinestones beware it cutting your arms. Beauty is pain.
Make up: it is allllll about the eyes! Blush, bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliners, eyeliner, foundation, mascara, eyebrow liner, lipstick.
Date: go with someone you are comfortable dancing with, boy should buy the tickets, dinner, and corsage,
You should offer to pay half though!!!!
And plan your colors ahead of time!
Also ask your date if he is buying you a corsage and if you should get a boutonniere.
Don't have a date?: NO PROBLEM! Most schools allow you to even take another girl. So grab a girl friend and go together! You will have to split the cost more likely but you also get out of awkward boy girl dancing, and feeling pressure to "go home" with your date.
Shoes: ladies, this one can be a give or take. I wore rhinestone sandals. No regrets. My date was taller than me but I did not feel like pushing it. They are 100% more comfy! Still cute. You can actually dance in them! Less risk of tripping.
Jewelery: make a statement. Wear something big enough to be seen clearly in photos, or don't wear any! But I see allot of girls wearing small or thin jewelry making photos look distracting, unclean, confusing to the eye. Another solution is having a very sparkly dress which calls for no necklace BUT I still say wear a big statement earring. If your hair is up like I suggest it looks put together.
Fake nails: nothing makes you feel more pretty and in style than fake nails. I bought mine for $6 at the store and used my own nail polish and put them on myself. They were soooo cute! Not perfect but it beats spending $30 to have a professional do them! But a girls! If you have never worn fake nails be prepared to be uncomfortable and unable to do a simple task like buckle your sandals! So put them on only about and hour before you put on your dress then paint them. Also, keep the glue with you in a Ziploc bag in your clutch purse. I broke a nail in the limo and was so bummed!
Purse: I suggest a simple clutch purse to keep some money, your coverup/ mirror, lipstick, nail glue, and your phone.
Pictures: besides your group looking for a friend of family member with a back round in photography, take your phone and insist on also taking some pictures on it. I did not take any pictures myself and regretted it because I had to rely on everyone else to tag or send them to me.
And finally: WHEN YOU GET HOME, NO MATTER HOW LATE YOU GET HOME WASH YOUR FACE!!!
HAVE FUN
BE SAFE
DO NOT BE STUPID
