Bye Bye, Kentucky.

So well, I guess this is it.. I'm sitting in the airplane from Lexington to Chicago. It must be about 6:40 pm. I can't believe I'm already leaving Kentucky, home of all rednecks, horses and the BIG BLUE ♥  It's awkward leaving the place I was so excited to live at six months ago. Kentucky is looking so green from the sky. So my host family is on their way home right now. There'll be a few presents awaiting them there. When they walk upstairs they will look at all the pictures of Whitney on the wall. It's like a "Whitney-Shrine". There's one picture frame on the top of the stairs though and there's no picture in it. I always wondered why. Maybe they save it for her graduation picture... Anyways, I taped a picture of me on there and it's saying "Finally! Somebody broke the Whitney-Shrine! hahahaha :D ". They'll probably crack up. Then Michele and David will go into their room and they'll find a picture frame with one of our easter pictures in it... I chose my favorite one ♥ Whitney and David had some issues with his tie on there... Furthermore they'll find a letter adressed to them.
When Whitney goes into her room she'll find a bunch of stuf on the ground (I couldn't put it on her bed 'cause it's too messed up). Also she'll find two picture frames with pictures of us in them. My two favorite ones. One of them is at Animal Kingdom at Disney with our faces painted and the other one on the camping trip with Lacy. Then there'll  be the stuffed annoying orange and it can speak!! Also there'll be two posters; one of a church evening when we compeeted in a drawing-without-looking competition against each other and the other one is from the day I got her. They made a poster saying "Welcome to the USA". I love these but couldn't take them because they are too huge. Then there's a small note and a loooong letter telling her how much I love her! But the best thing (in my mind) is a bracelet. It's saying "sis". I got the some one for me just that I got flowers as a charm and she's got an elephant and a cloverleaf.
Yes, I love this family. I had so many great moment with them! The best one with Michele was definitely one time at diner. Whitney was talking about something gross. Then:
Michele: "Can we please change the topic?"
Me: "Let's talk about cows!"
Michele: "Cows?"
Me: "Yeah! Did you know they have four stomachs?!"
Whit: "Oh yeah! And they always throw up their food and chew and swallow it again!"
Michele: "-.-".
Haha, that was a good time!! The best moment with David was definitely the first Merit Trip. The bus the students drove in broke down a few times. In the morning the commode in our bathroom had broken and I was kinda panicked about how they'd react. I wanted to tell them at diner, whenever we're back home. So David picked us up from where the bus had broken down.
David: "So what happened?"
Me: "I don't know! I didn't do anything!!"
David: "You didn't do anything?"
Me: "No! I swear! Nothing!"
David: "Well... Ok."
Me: "Really! I didn't touch anything!"
David: "I didn't expect you to be driving the bus anyways..."
Me: "The bus?"
David: "Yeah, the bus broke down... Remeber?"
Me: "Oh my..."
Hahaha, I was talking about the cmmode. That was so odd, haha. I had so much fun with him and his jokes! :D
And Lacy? Well, I wanted to marry her, but it didn't work... ;)
So today I saw the three greatest people of Kentucky for the last time until they'll visit Munich next spring. Before they got me to the airport we went to Bob Evans for diner. Really funny since the first time we went to a restaurant together it was Bob Evans too. - And both times Whitney and I had fun with the straw paper, haha. 
Then we went to the airport. When I hugged David, Michele and Whitney goodbye I just kept crying. I went through the baggage-check, looked back one more time, Whitney was waving. The people working there offered me tissues. When I got upstairs I bought a pink "Kentucky"-Shirt and put it on. I cried for about half an hour I guess. It was super hard!! Harder than I actually thought it would be. I can't wait to see them again!

I'm sitting in the plane to Munich nw. It's about 9pm. I met two other exchange students who are sitting next to me (one from Austria, one from Germany) and a guy from Hungary.
I'm just so thankful for the time I spent here! So thankful for everything right now! I will never ever forget these six months! The best six months of my life, spent in Somerset, Kentucky. ♥♥


My very favorite picture.
