I just got the cutest gift from my host family! It's a coffee cup that is monogramed with my name on it! :)

My cup! I know you can't see all the letters of my name in the picture.  But they're all there!

For those of you who are thinking, "Why is she so excited about a monogramed coffee cup?" ... I have two things to say to you:

1. Bite me. Hehe

2. You probably have a really common name.  So when you find monogramed items your name is probably always there. Of course you're not going to think it's that exciting!

Despite the fact that it's a gift from my fabulous host family, it's the Georgian spelling/alphabet of my name! In the US, I can never find the correct spelling of my name (full or nick): Kristine or Krissi.  I guess Kristine is a very uncommon spelling.  One time I did see an "Adriana" and not "Kristine".  What's up with that?! Furthermore, there seems to be some controversy surrounding my nickname.  I changed the spelling of it in high school.  I would rather have the "i" than the "y".  Personally, I think it looks better. My family and some friends feel otherwise.  They still spell it with a "y".  Silly people!

Anywho! I will love this cup forever! It's a great reminder of my time here. Plus, now I can never forget how to spell my name the Georgian way.
