I Swear I Didn't Forget

I Swear I Didn't Forget

Hellooo….

I know it’s been five months since I’ve last written something but… Well, I do not have an excuse. To be honest, I thought about my blog quite a few times but…yeah, sorry about that.

Anyways, I’m in a new host family right now and I am so happy. I get along with the kids and my host mum really well. Teagan is fourteen years old and sometimes she’s quite a bitch but I love her. Michael is the laziest person I have ever met in my whole life (not that I’ve lived very long but you know what I mean). My host mum Karen is laid back and just really cool. Her boyfriend Bill lives with us and he has a Scottish accent – the first few weeks I didn’t understand a single word he said but now I don’t have to ask him to repeat it.

I am planning on catching up everything I have done since January, however not all in one chunk.
When I first arrived here and saw my room, I was pretty stunned. You‘re wondering why? Well, let’s say I have more space and a pretty big bed! Seriously.. I couldn’t ask for more! There is even a TV in my room; however it doesn’t work...Haha.

I will attach some pictures later so you will have an idea of what my room looks like.
To be honest… I didn’t expect to get along with the kids so well! I mean, it was my dream to find a family who accepts me as a part of their family and even though my family here is not perfect, I love them to death. I do not feel like I am “just their Au Pair”, I actually feel like their older sister and I can’t imagine not having them in my life. Teagan usually comes to me if she needs advice or when she met someone new or if she has problems and the same applies to Michael (but girls instead of boys…). We tease each other a lot and even though I am five/six years older than them we have quite a lot in common. I help them with their homework, we watch movies together or bake something or just hang around in my room and talk or play some apps on their Ipad. I do see them as my younger siblings and it is not work for me. Of course we get annoyed of each other sometimes but then we usually just go into our rooms and after a while we spend time together again. I mean, I do not mind spending time with them on weekends or when I am free and even though my host mum often tells them to leave me alone as it is my free time, it is usually me who asks them if they want to do something.

Even though Fleet is just a ten minutes’ drive to Farnborough, I did not know there were more Au Pairs here. I met quite a few here and some of them I already knew but we didn’t really talk but now we’re close friends and I am so glad I met them! Of course we all have to go at some point and some of my closest friends here have already left and new Au Pairs came but that doesn’t mean you’re not friends anymore. Nowadays we have all this social network things like Facebook and stuff and I mean we can still skype and it doesn’t matter where you are.

I already know the end of my year here will be so hard for me. I don’t want to go. I do want to go on with my life but I would really like to stay here and maybe at one point in my life I will. You never know what happens and that can be exciting as well as scary.

From now on I intend on posting more often here and I so hope I will!

Ocean full of love ♥
