To my dear American Parents!

Dear Les and Bonnie,

I gotta admit I was about to write you lately several times but then just something steped into it and then there was no time. I'm making a catch up on me via blog because I found it as the easiest way to share with you some lines and some pictures too.

This is the landscape that is about 5 minutes away from my house.

I dont remember right now if the last time we talked was before the school started for me or not...  the time over here was passing by like some river! (I don't know if you have such a saying in America as well but that's just what we say over here, that the time is passing by like some river - like the water in the river, right?) ANYWAY so the school started for me. And it's new place, new people, new teachers, just everything new! It is just too overwhelming and it really makes me troubles to catch up with all of this. As I was in America, I kinda got out of my 'studiing mode' and now it's hard to catch up. Well positive thing is that this year I have only 14 classes and if I'll pass my german and math classes which are the biggest issue right now the school will let me to do my graduation exams.

Those are my mon's flowers. I don't understand how they could still be so beatiful when is 40°F outside when I leave house in the morning for school!!

Anyway my new classmates are ok, I made new friends but not any like lifelong friends. And two of my very good friends are now out of Czech (one in USA and the other in England) so I got only few because most of my friends are now in college so they're outta city. I need to say that I am very thankfull for my mom, she is my best friend now.

there is another view of our beautiful golden fall hills

Another thing that makes my life unpleasant is that since the school started I started having some health issues, nothing serious. It's just that I've been sick a lot and not very in the mood. I'm also having head-ache and sleeping problems, I have migrene everyday so I'm taking pills to reduce the pain and I drink tea to calm me down.

Yeach Village, town. city has its own mark just like this one.

Well that would be about complaining about myself. Well now something to stuff that I do when I'm not doing school. Well there is not too much to say yet because I'm feeling not alright all the time so I dont feel like doing things but I attend our youth group that has like 10 members (like 6 active members). The numbers are kind of sad picture but we love spending time together. You could say about me that I am sort of the youth group worship leader and I'm really liking it! It's small but it's the second fam.

And there is our house! Small, but I love it there! (add - it looks much better inside that out! haha) we're still missing the color on outdoors walls. By the was the bigger open window on the side upper floor in mine!:)

I'm also doing Bible studies with one of the girl from my church. We meet up in McDonald but our McDonald is not like yours, our is clean and has McCafé with delisious Frapachinos! haha. It's so good for us. It really makes our hearts grow in Jesus.

I just love how everything gets its own colors at this time of the year!

Oh I talked to Jaja the other day! She has holiday now and I was sick so we catch each other and talked. My mom bought me Thai dictionary so I try some Thai and guess what?! SHE UNDERSTOOD ME!! hahaha it was hilarious! I miss her :).

And this is our garden! As you can see all the bricks and wood there is still LOTS of work to do.

I got to talk little bit to Luisa yesterday as well and we found out we both are going to London at the same time so we're going to meet up! That really cheered me up! One of the reasons I'm going to England is because I'm going to see my best friend! Veronika! I'm super excited that I'll be seeing her in two weeks! I think it will be good for me that I will get out of the town for couple days and just turn off for little while.

Muchroom season! My grandma is every week at least twice in the woods hunting for mushrooms! I know you don't really do it but we do! ;) this one in the picture is actually eatable!

As this is my last year of high school I've got to choose what I wanna do next. The college. I've decided for English and American studies at faculty of Philosophy at Charles Univerzity, which is the most prestigious college in the country but I will be taking extra saturday classes in Prague starting in January for admissions. Well life is not as easy as it used to be in Puyallup :)

And there ís mom (Kamila) with her new haircut! her hair gets shorter every time she goes to hairstyler! I'm expecting her to come home as Les next time she goes from hair styler!

Today was a very good day for me. It was beautiful day. I was sick last week and today I was feeling lot better so me, mom and Michael (my dog Míša) went for walk after lunch and I took few picture to show you my Willage :) These are the pictures.

Our woods! Or our LES! because LES means forrest in Czech!

I'm so happy to hear that your kids are doing great in Germany! I know is something totally different than WA and I might not be surprise if they would be liking to stay there for longer than 4 years :). I also saw pictures of Vivi and she is so preacious! She must be such a blessing to Gina's and John's family! and to yours of course!

Seeing this bee in there made smile on my face today. Beautiful capture of God's work.

Well I hope this made you some ideas about my life over here and please let me know if my English's got worse! :P

And there is the last picture of our handsome Míša!

LOVE YOU!!
