There's just TOO much to say!!!!

I really haven't been on the ball when it comes to blogging!
I've been here nearly eight weeks and this is only my second one.... Sorry!!!

Right so, I only have about 15 minutes before I need to run off again to have breakfast and got to work...

The main thing I need to say is that I have completely fallen in love with both my family out here in Nepal and my boyfriend back home in the UK. It's mad. I feel SO much love!! Haha
My family are the most wonderful, understanding and funny people I've ever met and they've completely taken me in as their daughter! Aama (mum) is so sweet and even though she doesn't speak much English we have a right laugh together.. She's really comforting when I'm not feeling at my best and always seems to know when I need a bit of contact! I love her! (Mum, don't get jealous!!) As for Buwa (Dad), he's a bit of a joker in the best way possible. Even when he seems stern he often bursts out laughing!! He brightens up situations and looks after the family so well! He's the only one who can milk our cow too and even if he gets home reeeaaallly late from work we'll here him out there doing his duty :) Suraz, my brother, was kicked by the cow not long back so had to fashion a black eye for a while haha! Not good! Suraz is lovely too.. he's 18 and is really easy to have a good conversation with and also - like the rest of the family - he has a very good sense of humour! I started teaching him guitar but he has exams so it's hard to make time! Something that makes me laugh is when they mimic my accent! I thought it was only gonna be the other volunteers who would do this... but even my Nepali family do it hahaha. They always say "proper well good", "well impressed", "a tiiiiineh little bit", "hiiiiii" and Suraz even says "Eeeeh by gum lass!!" .....I am proper well impressed!! :D
My sister Sabina is amazing too.. I feel like I can proper talk to here!! She's so lovely and we have really nice chats when we're both free! She's in college (uni) studying microbiology (If I'm wrong please correct me Sabina!!) and she also holds a lot of responsibility around the house, in the fields, etc! I love her!! She's my brown eyed girl :)
That's something too... whenever I play my guitar in my room I ALWAYS get a tap on my window and a request for me to play to them instead of just to myself!! It's stopping me from writing my songs, but I love it cos it proper gets the family together and they all sit around and have a laugh. Rejina, my little 1 1/2 year old cousin dances around and laughs the whole time. SO cute!!! She always wanders in to my room as well and plays pee-ca-boo with my mozzy net haha
She's part of the extended family that live on the ground floor :) They're all lovely! We have three cousins and an uncle and aunty. So nice!

Something I nearly forgot to mention is my room mate, Jessie! At first I found that I didn't get enough space out here cos we're all constantly working with each other and going away with one another... and my bedroom is normally my space to just chill and think about stuff. Hard when you're sharing it. However, I do find that it has been to my advantage that I was placed with Jessie.. She's chilled out and nice and is really easy to talk to. We've had loads of conversations that've sorted my head out when things've been too overwhelming (i.e. culture shocks/group dynamics) and I'm proper glad that we were put together :) niceness

In just over two weeks I'm going to be leaving this place and returning back home to my family, friends, lifestyle... and Matt.
I just don't want to leave my family behind and what I have here. The village is my home and the villagers are all part of the family.. the sense of community is amazing here. The other day we were playing with a kid (who gave me a flower and said "you must show me games" in a very innocent way!) and we had such a laugh. Then a load of the Ideal Friendship-Nepal team came along to chill/get some things done and cha cha (one of the skilled laborers) said that he saw me as his daughter. I love the love here. There's so much of it!!!!
The main reason - and probably the only reason at this point - that I want to come home is for Matt. I can't believe I haven't seen him in nearly 2 months!!! It's proper flown by but there are moments where I just proper miss him. loads! It's kind of made things even better though cos we're well close and our phone calls are well funny! He rung last night (a few times due to the dodgy connection) and I was literally wriggling around my bed with laughter. This was after being segregated at dinner due to my menstruation cycle, which I find SO hard, so just made everything amazing again. I really do love him, it's nice.

Think I'm gonna have to go and have breakfast in a minute so I'm gonna leave it at that!
Now that I've started I'm hoping to get on it like sonic with these blogs and get up to date!!

Love you all and will be seeing you soon!!
