Last words

Hello!

This just feels unbelievable. This year is really coming to the end and I have now 3 days left. I came here 10 months ago and everything was so new. Now, it`s time to pack everything, say goodbye for everyone and move this year to the memories. To leave Utah, family and friends is one of the hardest things ever what I have to do. I don`t even have words to describe how amazing year this was, how many experiences I got here, what I have done here, how amazing host-family I have, how great friends I made; I know we are keeping touch with them, how these people took me to part of their family, I can continue this list so long. I just don`t know how I can say enough thank you for my amazing host-family and for my own family in Finland, without them this year wouldn`t be possible to do. Also, for my friends, they don`t know how big part of this year they have been and without them I wouldn`t be here now where I`m. All the people in the family here, I just can`t say it with words what they have mean to me during this year and how grateful I`m for them. This is hard to say, but I hope that these people know it. It has been so amazing to see few places outside the Utah with my host-family and all the wonderful times what we have had together during this year. Still, this hasn`t been easy year, it`s with good and harder times and that is the reason why it teach the most. I have learned and grow up a lot, see what is life somewhere else than in Finland, also this year let me understand, how great country Finland is and how proud I`m that I`m coming from there. I feel so much more self-confident and independent now. I couldn`t seriously think that I can do that, but now it`s pretty much over. This is also great example to see that it`s a normal life here, it`s not like in movies, ever. I think that this is pretty great to say that I have also family here in Utah, my second home and I hope that some day we see again either here or in Finland. Of course it`s wonderful to go back and see family and friends, but this was my life here and it`s hard to leave it, but that is how it goes and I`m so glad that this happened. Now, on sunday, Finland is calling back:) These pictures at the end are from San Francisco trip and some pictures from the last few weeks and days.
