Hi blog readers!
Today I went with my parents and cousin to the church in the morning. After that we went to lunch at a place called 'lunchgarden'. I ate a salad with cumcumber soup, we always love the salads there. When we finished lunch we decided to go to a shop that's open on sunday. It's a special shop because it buys goods of shops that go bankrupt. Those goods are sold at a lower price and you can find anything. We had to find a big suitcase that doesn't weighs to much and fortunately I found one with pink and purple flowers! :P Actually it was my cousin who found it. When we got home I immediately started packing and checking my checklist for my cabin luggage. I'm getting very exciting but also a bit nervous! My departure is less than 3 days away! :o xoxo Suzanna

My first blog entry is still written in Belgium, 4 days before I'm leaving for Houston! On the 31th of July I will fly from Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Houston (Texas). In Houston I have to take the plane to Jackson (Mississippi), where I will meet my Hostfamily! But first I'll tell you more about the BBQ I held to say goodbye to all my good friends together. I have to tell you that it was great! The food was great, the atmosphere was cosy, the evening was a real succes! All my friends came around 5 pm - 6 pm. I introduced them to my family by showing them a small collage I made :) You can see it below After we talked and drank a little we started to eat around 7:30 pm. We had all kinds of meat: brochettes, chipolata, bacon, and mititei ( a traditional Romanian dish of grilled ground meatrolls). Everyone really liked the last one and I'm glad my mom succeeded in making it taste like it does in Romania! After that we had marshmallows above the BBQ which was really fun because one time a marshmallow fell in and became crunchy :p We had also set some candles and we started to play with the suet, which was really hilarious because everyone (including me) was pouring it over me. It was hilarious! We stayed around the fire for a long time til everyone left, which was around 1:30 am in the night. I really had a good time and I was lucky! Because the weather forecast lied (fortunately!). So we had good weather! Today, in the evening I'm going to skype for the first time with my hostfamily :D and after that I'm going to my grandmother to meet up with my whole family one more time. The BBQ was for my friends so today I also must say goodbye to my family! Talk to you soon ya'll! But then I'll be in Mississippi! xoxo Suzanna PS: - watch all the pictures of the barbeque in my gallery
