Host Family!!!!!!!!!

I got my host family today! The day after I write a blog post about how I'm sick of waiting... maybe I should do that more often =D. I was so excited when my mom told me she got an email that I could now see who they are that I think if any police had seen me driving home they would have put my permit though a paper shredder =D. But next year I will be living in... Martina Franca, Italy!!!!! It is a town with about 49,000 people at the top of the heel of the boot of Italy. Not really near any really famous cities so I kind of have to describe it that way. I have been googling all afternoon and there is only one thing I can find that I don't like about it: it doesn't snow. But other than that I am so excited!!!!!!!!
Oh, and my host family! I have two host siblings: a girl who is 17 and turning 18 in November, and a boy who turns 15 in June. I have a host mom and dad, and one of them is a doctor. I don't know which because it just listed one occupation that wasn't even attached to one of their names. And my host school is just 6 minutes walking away from the house (Thank you google maps!). I haven't sent them an email yet, but I don't think it matters that I've waited a couple of hours because they're probably still sleeping. But I think I'll probably do that now. In Italian. Haha, good luck to them trying to understand it XD
