Happy Thanksgiving! Is it too early to wish you Merry Christmas?! I am a bit jealous that I see everyone on facebook getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas; besides the little decorations Albertville has set up so far in town there is no Christmas cheer. And I am ready for the holidays! I cant wait for the Christmas lights, music, movies, books, and snow! Before I get ahead of myself with Christmas, I will tell you what I have been up to. Last time I wrote we were just starting break. Break was very relaxing almost everybody went away for vacation except a hand full of us. I made it out of town once with Rachel to go to Chambery but to our disappointment we picked the wrong day to go. We went on a Tuesday which happens to be the day all the museums are closed in Chambery. But being in the company of friends makes everything fun so it all worked out. I also got to go swimming over break. Which is a pretty big deal; I was practically deprived that was the longest I have gone without swimming in the last three years. So that is something I really enjoyed and would like to do more often. Over break The Stoners and I with another Togo Team family, the Millers, got to go see the Chateau de Miolans which is a castle in our area build around the 1500s. It was amazing to see something that has lasted all these years. And of course through all this excitement over break we celebrated a birthday and threw a star wars party for a certain 9 year old whose name may be Isaac This past month has been fun taking time to relax over break, traveling around our area of France, watching how the elections play out, and celebrating a birthday near and far (Shout out to my sister, who also celebrated a birthday this past month). And slowly letting it settle in that I have been here for two full months now!
