This is my great host family. I want them to be the Host family of the month because they mean just everything to me. They are like my new big family I just found.

They did with me a lot of fun and exciting stuff. They took me to Kansas City, to Iowa, and to Dallas for Thanksgiving. They are there for me when I need them, support all the things I am doing and gave me the best time I ever had in my life. I wouldn't know what I'd do without them. They just opened me a new window to another world. A perfect world I'll never forget.

It just felt like home when I first arrived here. They made this semester the best and I hope that I can have a lot of opportunities to come to Nebraska again and visit them. Most of the time I do stuff with my host Mom and my host sister. It is a lot of fun doing stuff with them even if it's only a walk over to Wal-mart.

And also all the new traditions I learn over here are really cool. But we also take the German traditions on! I am just so glad that they picked me and I want to say "Thank you" by nominating them for the family of the month.

They are my new family and they will stay in my heart forever.
