AVIANO(:

This past weekend I got to travel to Aviano for a basketball game. It was so pretty! We lost and I might have fractured the growth plate in my wrist from tumbling so much, but other than that the trip was beyond a butt load of fun! Here are just some of the pictures, I'm getting our coach to send the ones she took to my e-mail and I'll upload those some other time!

Tyler warming up(:

I guess I did something funny? Hahaha

That was such a fun night!

Me and the captains(:

My boyfriend, Tyler Carroll(: He's a sophmore, and he's 16. He's catholic, and he neve says God? Which is weird, he skates, and has waaaaay too many shoes, he's kinda a diva. He's very respectful, ask grandma and grandpa! Hahaha

UPDATE!

So I haven't updated in a long time! But my first day went great, and those girls are now my friends, haha, how ironic! Well, I wore a really cute outfit! A blue, red, grey, and white shirt that resembles a lumber jack shirt. And grey boots with Hollister jeans. It looked good on;P Haha, I'm on the cheer squad! Competetive and school! We get to travel to Aviano, Germany, and maybe even Milan! I'm so excited!! I have a boyfriend named Tyler, and everything here is going great! I love it here, so so so much, three other schools were worth going to this one! Haha, well I have not much to talk about, so e-mail me questions and I'll get back to 'em(:

School tomorrow!

Well I start school tomorrow,at Vicenza Highschool! Lucky for me I will not have to worry about sitting alone on the first day seeing as the middle school,high school,AND elementary school are all in the same building! And,get this,the ninth grade class has about 50-60 students,and about 40 seniors! It's crazy! So the first day me and Bryton will get to go off campus for lunch together! That took a BUNCH off my shoulders. I will try my very hardest to get pictures up tomorrow after school. Of my outfit [most important picture!],and the few we have taken around town. But,there won't be a lot because we haven't been off the base too much. Today we got officialy done with all the enrolling and picking out of the classes,boring stuff. So tomorrow at 8am I will head to school! Actually before that seeing as I'm walking these days. I'm at the library right now,and nothing is planned for today but to get ready for tomorrow. So,wish me luck!! I'm beyond nervous because I know this isn't just a temporary school,and I swear if my hair doesn't look perfect,which just my luck it won't,I will be LIVID!! Hahaha,well the whole not having to race and freak out about not sitting alone makes it somewhat better. I was walking in the halls today,taking a tour,and I saw a red-headed girl run up to another one of her friends,looked at me,whispered something,and then her friend said, "Yeah,that's her" May I add,not in the nicest way,or with a smile on her face. How great! Already off to a GREAT start! You would think that they'd be so much nicer since they have to move every three years,so much for that! I guess I can;t really say they are mean,but they didn't look nice,or make me feel even the least bit welcome. I don't know if it's jealouy,or they believe it's "their school" and I shouldn't be there. Either way,it didn't make anything better. And on top of that,I'll be here three years,I don't plan on being scared to walk through those hallways,therefore I'm sure they won't like the fact that I'm not putting up with anything at all. Wow,this just keeps getting better!! Well,that's all for now. Good-bye. I'll update tomorrow!

Nothing special

I'd love to say to day is just the same ol' same ol'. But I haven't got the "same ol'" day just figured out yet. I'll get to update daily,seeing as the library has acess to the computers,but I'll have to wait until we get a converter to charge mom's laptop to upload pictures. Which we have one but have yet to see if it works,you have to deal with watts and all that jazz,so soon hopefuly! It's so cool here,everyday I like it a little more! It is like the perfect community,and mom wasn't kidding when she said you can walk everywhere! I love it,and the base is so safe I can just walk to the library,check out a movie,or book. Or go to the PX,which is like a nice nice Wal-Mart,but doesn't sell groceries. But the PX has stuff like COACH SHOES,may I add only 70 dollars!! SCORE!! Hahaha,and if mom ever needs groceries,I'll just walk to the Commisary. They have one fat food place here,Burger King,then they have a small food court in the PX. And a movie theatre,but it shows two movies a day,whoo. I'll walk to school everyday,or ride my bike,when I get one. So I can eat ALL the junk food I want,then loose it all just by going to and from school! Well I'm at the library and mom's enrolling us in school as of right now,then after we'll go eat! Mmmm,I'm hungry. There's this place called "Regina's Resturant" and mom said it's super good. And the amount of food they give you is CRAZY! Hahaha,so I'm thinking I want to go there. Well I'm going to go return my movie,and get a new one,or two,who knows! Well everyone needs to e-mail me,so you can ask any specific questions,or would just like to talk. I miss all my family and friends like crazy,and I'm counting down the days to summer when we will be together again! Well God bless,bye(:

We're here!

So I arrived in Italy not too long ago. I haven't been close to a computer in a while,because my mom's is dead and we have no way of charging it since we don't yet have a converter. It's nice here,and you can walk EVERYWHERE! It's really nice here,weather wise,it's not too hot,not too cold. And you warm up by walking. I went to an Itallian Chinese resturant last night,boy do I miss American Chinese! I ordered Orange Chicken and it was deep fried chicken covered in a thick orange juice with an orange on top. But they fried rice was good! Everyone here lives in appartment looking things,and they're actually really nice! Very rarely will you see an actual house. You see them as often as you see... Well I don't know,but not often at all! Our house or as you would call it,our appartment,is the perfect size. Did I mention they don't have closets?! Yeah,big shock there. I mean,this is one of the shopping capitals of the world,and no closets,ironic eh? I have learned a few words in Italian! Just the basics: sorry,thank you,excuse me,hello. Not too hard. People don't waste space here,so Tommy said that everyday they go to the market and get their daily supply of food,therefore they don't have refrigirators. So me and Tommy went and bought our daily food,nachos! Mmmm,all the supplies are now sitting in the fridge,un-prepared. But we tried! Hahaha. It's so weird to me walking down the street and not understanding what anyone is saying,it's crazy really. Everybody walking on the streets looks like they're on their way to a photoshoot. The clothing style isn't really all that different from America. They wear boots with tights and dresses,most all of them! Everything looks so old,and it will take a little getting used to. So I'll pst as often as I can to keep you updated on this amazing journey I'm fixing to take! Oh,and Amy... I saw the CUTEST scarf,and... It's Fendi(;
