My host mom is Annette and she is a secretary in Brædstrup and her husband Ole is a carptender and runs his own company. They have 2 children, Anne 16, Frederik 13, and Frida 5. Anne is leaving to Austraila on exchange in late July so I won't be able to meet her. Frederik seems like a really awesome kid. He loves to play rugby at his local club and he is into rock climing. They have told me that sometimes his team goes to Sweden and Germany to climb! Frida is starting kindergarden this coming school year.
Their house is in Brædstrup, and Annette says they are "5 minutes from everything". Sounds just like Bracebridge! The bus station is very close, which is always good because that is the same bus I will be taking to school all year. They seem like an amazing family and I can't wait to meet them.
This past Wednesday, I got a package in the mail from my first host family! They wrote me a lovely postcard, and a nice "information guide" I guess, about their area in Denmark. Different sights and history about different places in Denmark. I have been reading it and it really neat! They mentioned in the postcard that, "Soon you will be able to see all of this yourself, instead of looking in this book", which is so true. Everytime I do research about Denmark or anything like that, I think to myself, "In a little more than a month, I will be living there!" It is so hard to believe that this is actually happening.
Much love,
Dillon
