Two weeks left and I´m home. I honestly have mixed feelings about this, it´s true that I´m incredibly excited to be coming home and to see all of my friends and family again but at the same time the last couple weeks have been amazing. My relationship with Amelia and the rest of my family as become alot closer and I´ve finally been talking to Amelia about our past problems. I´ve also been doing recreational stuff with her which I thought would never happen. The other day we woke up early together to go jogging and later in the day rode our bikes to a pueblo close to murphy just the two of us. A month ago I couldn´t see us spending time together like this but we both enjoyed it and I wish we could have been this close since the begining, it would have made the experience more fun and easier. Amelia even pointed out that I´ve changed alot, she says that I´ve become alot more outgoing and more talkative than I was before, I think this is just because I´m able to communicate perfectly with everyone now but she persists to say it´s my personality thats changed. At least all of this means that the fam and I are ending on a good note. They want to come visit sometime which makes me happy and hopefully I´ll get to visit them as well.

Todays the 4th of July!! Of course theres no celebration here in Argentina so I decided to do something a little american for a personal celebration. I´ve missed peanut butter ALOT and so I finally decided I´d make it for the fourth of July so I could enjoy an american treat on independence day. I don´t know if peanut butter was invented in the US but americans eat alot of it so I claim it american. It takes a while to make because you need to shell all of the peanuts and clean the blender but its very easy and obviously delicious, especially when I make it.


Luckily the fam also found it yummy which is a score but I think Edgard lied a little because his face disagreed with his words.It was kind of like when I tried my friends veggie mite and squeaked out "how tasty" before gagging on the wretched stuff.


Anyways, heres a picture of my jar of homemade PB!
