HAPPY NEW YEARS! BONNE ANNE!
It's New Years Eve, Ks�nia's 5th birthday! I bought her a sweater yesterday with piglet on it and a long sleeved shirt with horses. I think they are gonna be too small! Oops!
Yesterday, I got up and I was home alone. It felt good. I played DDR for a good portion of the morning. Then, I got ready and went to Fribourg and met Delphine, from YFU. We went to Fribourg Centre and Manor and did some shopping. Then we went down into the old part of the city and went to a cafe and just talked. She talks really fast though and I have to ask her to repete everyonce in awhile. Then we went back to Fribourg Centre and I found two shirts that I liked and I bought them. I noticed last night after I got home one has a run in the fabric! They had sales and I wish I could have shopped longer!! No one here really cares to go shopping, I need Emma!!! Delphine bought some clothes too. I couldn't find anything I liked for New Years. I guess I wear a sweater and blue jeans. haha.
Magaly said I can come with to the party!! Yeah! I go at 7 o clock and we eat dinner. Its 30 francs. That's the only bad thing. I really dont know anyone but that isnt a problem considering I didnt know anyone when I came to CH anyways. Only bad thing, Yves is picking me up. ICK!!! gag me!
Well, I got up at 7h55 this morning to meet the mail woman. Yes, the package for Ksenia did arrive! I also got a nice Christmas card from the Aldridge's and one from Stacey yesterday. Thanks! So now, I am gonna blow up birthday balloons, stamp 240 envelopes for P.A. and vacuum. Ugh, I just want to sleep! Plus, New Years is tonight! I can't be tired!
Ciao,
Kris
P.S. See you in the New Year!!

Hey!
Today, I went to the doctor. He said I still have an ear infection and to take antibiotics for 10 days. I picked them up at the pharamcie, 70 francs!
After that, we went grocery shopping for Ksenias birthday party on Wednesday. I called Magaly tonight and I am hopefully going to the New Years party after the Bday celebration.
Elise had written me a message asking if I wanted to go to her house and we could go to Orsonnens and ask about riding lessons so Marielle dropped me off there. Then Elise was gonna go riding with a neighbor girl and asked if I wanted to go and I said I really didnt feel like riding and she was gonna call the girl and say she couldnt good. I felt bad and said that she could go without me and finally I gave in and said I would go riding too. We went and it was Elise, me and two little girls on ponies. We changed a bit on one poney cause it was huge! I think she is happier now. We went riding through the forests and over logs and galloped around. It was nicer with the ponies infront cause the horses couldnt gallop too fast and when the ponies would stop they would stop, it was quite enjoyable. Well, I was having a good time and was glad I went just until we got near the barn. We were ina big open field area and we were all walking when Faran just started galloping! So I had her make a circle and she slowed down and then she did it again so I made another circle, we headed for some brush and she stopped real quick, I thought we were gonna jump it. Then I turned her around and she started galloping again. Then I noticed everyone was way ahead of us and she took off at a full run! We passed the others and she didnt stop! Then the fence was coming up and the small paved road. I thought she was gonna try to go through the fence but she made a real sharp turn when she hit the pavement road and there was ice, she is wearing shoes and she slipped. Well guess where I went? That's right. I went the other direction, straight on the pavement! Good thing I was wearing a helmet but I had a headache afterwards and a sore and somewhat enlarged area on my rear. lol. Other than that, I had a really great time riding today. Elise felt bad cause she made me come with! lol. When Martial came home he looked at us asked how the ride was and looked at me and said that I fell off cause the horse slided on the ice. I finally gave in and said yes. How did he know!?! He said no one told him! He's one weird man.
Then Jeremie Cocquoz (pronounced Cocoa) came over, Elise's boyfriend, and he told her that he loved her!! He is off to Germany for a week long vacation now.
Elise and I watched some Sister Act 2 and didnt go to Orsonnens cause it got dark out. Mimi came and then she brought me home. We had tacos tonight and they think they are so weird! lol They didnt taste like any tacos I have ever tasted before.
However, at dinner, we decided I am not going home July 10th like planned. I will be home around July 17th. P.A., Marielle, and Ksenia are coming home with me!! If mom and dad will let them and me that is. I am gonna ask YFU to change my destination to New York City. We will rent a motorhome and drive through Canada just to Duluth for one week! They want to stay in Duluth for a week and then go through the U.S. back to the east coast for one week, or just leave from Duluth to Zurich. Wouldn't that be cool????? They also want to know if Laura is gonna come soon. They really think it is cool if she comes. Or if anyone wants to visit they are welcome!
After dinner, Ksenia went back to Massonens with the grandma and she is gonna spend the night there. Of course, she had to bring her bear with! Pierre-A. had to show the grandma his flashlight. he is totally obsessed with it! The candle holders are sitting on the dinner table and the grandma commented on how pretty they were. They are all so happy with their presents!
Well, tonight I am talking to Kassandra! Haven't talked to her since her grad party! I am gonna finish IMing her and then go to bed. I am home alone tomorrow aka DDR and then I am going to Fribourg and hanging out with Delphine.
Goodnight,
Kris
