Airport

Halfway on the car ride to JFK Airport Mel and I realized that the back windows had childlock on them. We felt trapped so we asked my dad to open the window. Then we didn't want the windows open because the wind was blowing in our faces so we asked my dad to close the windows. We reached the airport and missed our terminal entrance. Great. We went in a giant loop and upon reaching the terminal 8 entrance we all started screaming, "THERE IT IS. THERE IT IS. NO! TO YOUR RIGHT. YES. WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

We checked in. Gave hugs and kissed to Mel and Papa. Waved to them about 10,000 times once we were threw security, we always do that =] It took us about 15-20 minutes to reach our gates, no joke. I stopped by one of those stores to stock up on gum, food, and water for the flight. Then as we were approaching our gate we heard on the loud speaker. "Blah Blah Blah Ms. Soraya Navia, party of two, please report to the gate." To which I responded "MOM RUN!" We reached the gate and my mom asked the lady, "Is there time to use the bathroom?" The lady said "SURE go ahead you have 5 minutes." "Mom they just made us run here and we have 5 minutes geez. Half the people aren't even on the plane yet."

Our plane flight was awesomely awesome. The pilot came on the speaker system and told us how perfect a day it was to fly and that it was going to be a very smooth flight. YAY. It was a very smooth flight so of course I was super happy. The landing was awesome too. OUr flight was actually SO AMAZING. that we landed like 10 minutes earlier that planned.

We went to get our bags. My aunt wasn't yet there to pick us up there. So, MACHO Yaya picked up our bags. I was really amazed at my own strength. But I got the job done. Then Ximena picked us up and YAY WE'RE IN TEXAS!!!!!

The Trip Here

Okay so let me just mention that I'm here in Texas, but I'm going to rewind three days =]

Tuesday night was a bit exhausting. I don't think I have ever stayed up packing so late... ever. Towards the end of my packing I really lost all interest in the folding. Mel had given me some awesome presents including an awesome pair of pants ;) ...which I wore this morning. So instead of taking the presents out of the bag I just threw the bag in the suitcase, closed the bag and said, "I'm done." and plopped onto my bed. But of course, that wasn't the end of the night for me. I ran as fast as I could, more like flew down my stairs, into the living room, flew down another flight of stairs, and took my baby Leo out of his cage. Olga was on the computer and phone (she is an awesome multitasker =] ) so she didn't mind. I plopped him down on the bed and we cuddled. I explained to him where I was going and that I was going to miss him very very much. I gave him a super tight hug. Gave him a kiss. Stared at him for a bit and said "I love you Leo!" I know. I know. A little dramatic but that's me. I put him back in his cage. I then ran as fast as I could upstairs (I was racing against the clock so I could sleep for a little while) into my Mom's room.

"Okay mommy, goodnight"
"Goodnight? You still have to bring your suitcase downstairs"
"AHAHAHAHAHA. That's funny. No but seriously, goodnight"
"Yaya, go ask Melissa to help bring your suitcase downstairs"

I zombied my way up the stairs this time and Mel helped me bring the suitcase down.

"Okay goodnight again Mom!"
"Not yet. I need you to pack this for me"
"Mommmy I'm soooooo tired!!!! Seriously?"
"Yes."

Blah. Blah. Blah. Fast Forward. Fast Forward. Annnnddddd STOP!

Aright so I was so tired that I made myself hungry. I ate a yogurt and Mel and I had ice's. Or however you spell that. Once again I saw my LEO BEAR. I think he ate a spider... but hopefully it was just a peice of yarn...in the shape of a spider...yes. I gave Guita a big hug, and went to sleep. HOORAY.

I slept for only three hours, but that was enough for me. Now sleeping for so little time and then having to wake up is a little difficult but i have a theory. I've come to learn that if you don't want to get out of bed and know it's too early, don't think, just do. So Wednesday morning at 4:38 AM I jumped out of bed violently and very rough. But it worked because I had no thoughts about getting back into bed =] But ladies and gentlemen do not attempt this at home. The Yayster (me) has had many years of experience.

I said goodbye to my Helios. And he swam up to me. AWW I also explained to him where I was going. I told him to bark if anyone forgot to feed him. I know fish don't bark but you never know. I said "I LOVE YOU! Be home soon!"

We then left the house, after my Papa made sure we left the house on time, and enbarked on our journey...

Getting Ready!

Hey Hey. Haven’t blogged in forever, maybe I forgot how or just have been to busy. Anyways, here goes!

I cleaned my room, YAY! It took me about three days, no joke, but it looks like the room of a goddess. I mean it always was, it just looks more like it now ;] Strangely enough I actually had a lot of fun cleaning it. Maybe it’s because everyone had been literally begging me to clean it, so now I’m just so flipping happy that its clean. I’m going to keep it that way. I promise. This time around, High School is going to be different. I promise to be more efficient. I promise to go to bed early. I promise to stop procrastinating. And I promise to keep my room clean. Now let’s just see if I can keep these promises.

I have about 50,000 loads of laundry to do. Last night I stayed up pretty late making a list of what I’m bringing to Texas. I’m only bringing practical clothes. I need a bathing suit, obviously. I need a lot of tank tops and shorts, it’s about 100 something degrees there probably. Church/Summer dresses. Sandals. Sunglasses. Sneakers. I need clothes prepared to run through the streets of Dallas with Dash (my cousin’s overly hyper dog). I need exploring clothes, last year Roy and I enjoyed taking the bikes and exploring what seemed to be haunted houses. I need snow cone, biking clothes. Who says biking alongside a Texas Highway with a snow cone in hand can’t get messy? =] I need comfy, fort building clothes. Building forts has kind of been me and Roy's thing since we can remember. I need sports clothes. Having two 15 and 19 year old boy cousins can get pretty rough. I need clothes that can endure football, lacrosse, running around their property and possibly getting thrown into a pool, and basketball. But more importantly I need clothes that I’m going to be comfortable in. I need my I-pod, most definitely. My camera, obviously. My phone, um hello… I need my shampoo’s, my hair shtuff, sun tan lotion (lots of it). And whatever else that seems of importance for staying there for two weeks.

I’m going to finish packing today, hopefully. I’M GOING TO TEXAS! YAY!
