Our group of sixteen have become our family away from our families. To celebrate this and bond together we have been having 'family dinners'. Every apartment brings something and then we eat our fill, which is rare around here because its usually pb and j sandwiches or pasta on the run. Last week Matt and Chris made pork chops and then we had salad, potatoes, vegetables, bread, and ice cream for dessert. It was so yummy! Tonight we decided to go with a theme and had fiesta night. We had tacos, quesadillas, spanish rice, nachos with salsa, and banana splits for desert. I really enjoy these moments when we all come together because we prepare it together, we eat together, and we clean up together. I have been finding out a lot about these people that lies beneath the surface. Some of these people I would have never been friends with back home but now I am finding out more about them and we are connecting as one whole group. There are no cliques or little groups, we band together and that makes me feel really happy. I am sad that I can't have my actual family with me but this makeshift 'family' that we have created makes up for the absence of my parents, brother, and all my relatives and friends. Again I hope everyone is staying warm!!! Love you and miss you all lots!!!
