I absoultly love New York City!I had the best time up there, for 4 1/2 days I didn't have a care in the world and didn't have to worry about anything that was happening here, and it felt good!Anyhow, I guess I should tell you about the trip and everything that happended.This is going to be a long entry so just bare with me.
Tuesday-Around 11 I said good-bye to everyone and left to go get a few last minute things like batteries and snacks for the bus.After that I went out to Emily's house so that we could leave about the same time and get out there the same time.Well, we got out there around 11:30 put our luggage on the bus, spent time with our parents before we left. Then we got on the bus and Ms.Thompson gave us a huge speech and all that good stuff, then we were on our way to New York. None of us could sleep because we were so hyper and excited. So around 12:30 I made a phone call ;), and talked for about 30 minutes before I got lost signal.The last thing I remember after that was turning around and asking Kasi if she lost signal and she said yes and then I turned around and feel asleep.
Wendsday-Woke up around 6:30 and we were stopped at this rest spot thing where we could get off the bus, get something to drink and stretch and all that good stuff. Well, Kasi-Kendra-Emily and I decided just to stay on the bus because we were comfortable.We thought we were in Pennsylvania, but we were far off we were still in Virgina.So then the bus finally pulled out again and we fell asleep and when we woke up the next time we were acutally in Pennsylvania, and had stopped at a McDonald's to get something to eat for breakfast. So we get up get off the bus go in and get ready to order. Kendra gets up there first and the woman was like "Can I take your order" Kendra was like "Yes, I would like a order of gravy and biscuts" the woman was like "Bacon Biscut" Kendra was like "No, gravy and biscuts" then woman goes "Plain Biscut" Kendra was like "Shew, just give me a Bacon Biscut" . .come to find out they didn't serve gravy and biscuts up there that far North, we were all about to die!So we get our seats and everything and these old people behind us look at us and go "Where are you ladies from" and we were like "Wise, Virginia" they were like "Where?" then we realized and remembered that nobody knows where thats at so we were just like "Virginia" they were like "You all must be heading to New York, that's where all them Virginian's are heading" we just kinda smiled and said "Yeah".After everyone ate and everything we got back on the bus and this time we didn't sleep a wink until we got to New Jersey, there we stopped for lunch, and I called friend Danielle to say hey and tell we had made it and she was happy to hear from us.I love you friend Danielle..lol!Then we headed on into New Jersey to the hotel. The place we stayed at was the Sheraton and it was huge and nice. When you first walked in they had balconies that were inside where you could walk out of your room and look over to first floor and everything, it was cool. We got our room key and ran up there because we only had 45 minutes to get ready because we had to be on sceudle with the tour guide and everything oh yeah and we met our tour guide when we got there his name was -Sal- short for Salvador, he was an awesome tour guide!After we got to New York, which is the most awesome place ever, we stopped at a souviner shop that Sal said was the best ever because you could get everything for a good price and not pay the high prices everywhere else.So we done our shopping there for people back home to get that out of the way.Then we headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We get there and were getting off the bus and Kendra has on this short white skirt. Well all of a sudden this big gust of wind comes from under the bus and her skirt flew up exposing everything she had. Justin South was behind us and saw it.-haha Kendra was embarrased. Then we get in there and Sal gives us a time to meet back and everything and told us to spilt off in groups and explore the museum which was 3 stories high.So we did, and I thought it was going to be very boring. But it wasn't it was actually pretty cool. Kasi and I would stand in front of the painting put our hands on out chins and go "Nice varation of color used in this area here" or just something to make us sound like we knew what we were talking about-haha!So we explored there and then it was time to almost leave and we had seen everything so we got outside and sit. Well, all of a sudden were hear this music on the opposite side of the steps where we were sitting. So we go over there and there's like these 8 black guys getting ready to put on a show, so we sit down and our group comes out to sit and watch them too. So they start dancing and doing all thes moves like break dancing. This one guy climed like 10 steps in handstand postion on his hands it was so awesome we took pictures i'll have to post them. After that we met up with Sal again and he took us on a walk through Central Park. It was soo soo hot, but we finally got to the fountain where 'Big Daddy' and 'Home Alone, Lost in New York' we took some pictures there and got something to drink. Then we were just about to walk up the steps and leave when we saw this man. He was dressed like an Indian with long black hair pulled up in braids, this gold thing around his ponytail, the little Indian thingys they wore to cover there crotch and butt! and shoes with heels on them straped up to his knees. It was a weird sight, and he starts singing and spinning around and dancing well when he spun around you could see his butt completly we were all like "OMYGOSH" it was sick!..But we got pictures lol!-After this little ordeal we walked to Strawberry Fields, this spot was dedicated to John Lennon of the Beatles when he was killed-It was a very quite and nice place.Staying there for 10 minutes was the longest we had stood in one spot all day long. Then it was time to eat dinner, we were supposed to eat at Confetti Pasta but they lost there lease and closed down. So we ate at this Barbaque place which was nasty hardly anybody touched their food. So we leave there and we are all still starved to death, we go to the Empire State Building. We walked in, and walked to the 6th floor and went through a security check. Then we got on the elevator and rode all the way up to the 80th floor and let me tell you that was an experince with like 15 people on the elevator with you.So after we get off on the 80th floor we have our pictures taken, and then got in line again to get on another set of elevators to ride up to the 86th floor. So after we get up there we go on the roof and it's and absoultly amazing veiw, we stayed up there for like 20 minutes. Then we came back down and on the elevator and these Mexican's were hitting on us they were trying to look down our shirts and and touching Emily's butt!-It was sick and they were speaking in Spanish and little did they know Kendra and I spoke Spanish, and so Kendra goes "Hablo espanol" and I was like "Me hablo espanol" they looked at us like 'Oh crap' they know what were talking about. So we get outside and we were the last ones. We got on the bus and headed to the hotel. Well, when we got there Kendra and I went and got snacks out of the gift shop they were expensive as crap for a Snapple,Twix and Lays was $7.50-I was like Whoa!-So we get up the room and all take showers because we felt all nasty and stuff!-Then we stayed up until like 1:30 talking and stuff and finally feel asleep!
Thursday-I woke up at 4, with the wake-up call that I requested. Took a shower and everything. Kasi Kendra and Emily woke up around 5 and got ready and stuff. Then around 5:30 we went and got on the bus and were ready to go. So we get there to the Today Show around 6:30 thinking we had done good timing well there was a line, which didn't take us long to get through but still the fence spots were taken up. So Ms.Thompson,Her Husband,Emily,Kasi,Kendra and I went behind this one woman who was right at the fence. We stood there forever and nothing was happening. So we were all 4 straved so we were like Ms.Thompson were going to get something to eat we will talk to you later or see you later. So we walked done to Burger King on the street and ate breakfast and everything.Then we went walking around and everything and to St.Patricks Cathedral it was beautiful!After all that we went to met Sal so we could get directions and everything.So we ended up going to St.Patricks Cathedral again, this time we got to go through it completly and take pictures and everything.Finally, we left and went to Rockefeller center to get our tickets for the tour of NBC studios. So, they had to spilt us up into a group of 23 and a group of 16- I was in the group of 16 with Abbi,Brittany,Emily Boggs, Noelle and we didn't have to tour until 12:15 and it was like 10:30, and he told us to be back at 12 upstairs with everything ready to go. So to pass off time we decided to talk to H&M and do a little clothes shopping and that's the only place we had time to go because we spent so much time in there. I got like a bunch of cute clothes from there. After we left there we went to meet up at NBC with the rest of the group. Around 12:15 the lady comes and gets us for the tour so we had to once again go through security checks. Well this time I had a problem, I had my H&M bag, purse and they told us to take off our belts, and take our cell phones out of our purses!So I took off my belt and cell phone and put it on the table so they could give it to me on the other side, well I walked through and it went off so he was like come back through, so I did and put my H&M bag on the thing and walked back through with just my purse and it went off again, so I stepped back through put my purse down walked thorough and it didn't make a noise. I was like oh crap they're going to think im going to blow up the place or something. So they went through my stuff and was like okay you're good to go. So I put my belt on and everything!-We went and vistited where Tom Brocaw and Saturday Night live was filmed, and found out how a green screen works!..Then we left and went to watch this movie thingy it was pretty cool with all the effects they done. After we left we went and done some shopping. So Brittany,Abbi,Emily Boggs,Noelle and I walked down to LV, first some of that stuff wasn't worth the money they were asking for it because it was plum ugly!..Then we leave there and go to Starbucks and got something to drink, it was soo good!-Then we walked into Tiffany's and looked at the diamond rings they were so beautiful. I wanted to try one on but I was afraid to ask. So we left there and walked down the street and decided that we were all hungary that we needed something to eat. But Brittany and Noelle went to NBC studio store instead to eat, but Emily,Brittany and I went to eat at the Rockefeller Cafe, it was soo good but expensive, like 3 dollars for something to drink!My bill for shrimp cocktail and 2 drinks was $20 some dollars. Our waiter sucked so I didn't give him a tip-lol..how rude of me...NOT!..So we left and met up with the group got on the bus and went to this drama workshop, where we had to sing and dance and all this stuff it was soo funny watching all of us try and do everything that woman was doing. We stayed in there for about an hour and a half and then went to change clothes, for Broadway. So we walked to Planet Hollywood to eat it was really good there, after we ate we went to the gift shop and there I spent $54 dollars on 2 shirts!Yeah kind've expensive but I didn't care!-Then after that we left and walked to Broadway, and got our seats which were really good then around 8 the play started which was "42nd street" and it was a great play!..So after that we left and got on the bus to get back to the hotel which we didn't get there until 11 something, and when we did we changed clothes and ordered pizza from room service. So we ordered a large one, the man gets up there and its a personal pan and he was like that will be 12 dollars all of us were like WHAT?...So we told him what we got and he kept apolozing, and went and got our pizza and gave us a personal pan free. So I stayed on the phone for about 45 minutes or something like that talking to someone. Then we finally got in the bed!-
Friday-Woke up and got ready, went down to eat breakfast then headed off to the Statue of Liberty. So we get on the boat and let me tell you that thing would make you sick if we were sitting down and waiting for it to pull out!..It kept moving back and fourth back and fourth. There were so many people on there it wasn't funny which made it worse. So we get there and Abbi,EmilyB, and I decided to go in the cafe thing and get something to drink. So this guy that worked there was totally hott and he kpet flirting. Well at first I was like I want an "Iced Coffee" and he was like what I was like and "Iced Coffee" and he couldn't understand my acsent and was making fun of it. I was like okay whatever!..So after that he comes over to get his picture taken with us, he was so so hott!-Then it was time to leave and ride the boat to the immigration museum. Well over there I had a little confretation with someone on the trip, not to mention any names-Ugh, but he was really getting on my nerves!-Then we got off at the mesuem and walk through it was pretty cool. Abbi,Emily,Ashley and I made fun of "Plug Boy" the whole time..lol..((inside joke))!Then after we left there we got back on the boat. Then went to the bus to ride to South Seaport to get something to eat. When we got there we met up and were told times to be back and that certain spot.So Abbi,Ashley and I went and got some pizza at this one place, it was good, while we were eating this hott guy kept going by and looking and then went and got his friends and goes "Man, look at those girls" and they were like "They're hott as h*ll" they didn't think we could hear them..lol..but we did!.So we smiled and waved and they about died. So fianlly they had to leave, how sad ='(...haha!..So we walked down to this store called steps where I bought three very extermly cute watches for only $22 dollars I was very happy with my purchase!While we were walking we saw Danielle and Lindsey and they showed us these Gucci watches they had bought from this guy and they were real. So everyone was going to buy them because they were selling them and they were the real deal!-It was kind've funny you just had to have been there. Hannah was cracking me up!-Then we left and went to Ground Zero, and you really couldn't see anything because there was these fences all up around it. So we just wen to Starbucks and got something else to drink, I got something different and it was really really good!..After that it was time to ride the Subway, whoo I was kind've scared I wouldn't get off in time but Sal held the door for us. Well, Emily Whitaker fell getting on and then when she was getting off Sal let the door go because it was her and this guy on the trip with us getting off and the door caught Emily by her head it was bad, but I laughed my head of she had already fallen up the steps that day, and sat in gum.When we got off the Subway we went to do some more shopping I got some more stuff, lordy im a shop-aholic and Kendra ran out of money, so I bought her a shirt in American Eagle because im a good friend like that. After we shopped we went to eat at this place called 'Puglias' it was so awesome in there!-We had this guy to bring this piano to where we were sitting and we sang along to the songs 'Brandy Bunch' 'Get up and shake your napkin' and some other Italian song. Which the Shake your napkin was the best because we all stood up and started swinging our nakins above our head!..We changed at the resturant for Broadway, Kasi and I almost were wearing the exact same thing, we looked sexii didn't we Kasi?..lol!-So off we went to Broadway..well on the way to the bus Kendra turns around and goes "Guys I think I furkled my purse in the resturant" I was like "Kendra did you just say furkled" she wsa like "yeah" we all were laughing and giving her a hard time so we get right there to get on the bus and Kendra was like "The next person that says furkel im going to hurt them" and I go "Shut-up and get on the furkling bus" everyone was cracking up!-Then we started saying farkling, you just had to have been there!..Well, we get to Broadway and we had balcony seats this time instead of floor so half our group was on one side and then Abbi,Matt,Peter,Andrew,Ashley's mom, Brittany, Noelle,Justin and I were completly sepreated from everyone!..But we had really good seats. Near the end of the play there was this gay guy that was standing up and he was dancing and knew every move to the play, we were all like okay he has seen this play one to many times!-We were all singing Mama Mia and Dancing Queen the rest of the night..lol!But after the play Kendra and Peter were walking to the bathrooms and Ms.Thompson was like let's go guys and Kasi got her words confused because she saw Kendra and Peter and she goes "Wait, we have to wait on Keter"-haha it was soo funny.Well after the play we went back to the hotel and we were all wild!Our toliet for stopped up so I had to call down to the front desk for maintance to come up and un-stop it.-I bet we didn't get in bed until 2 that night!-
Saturday-Got up like at 6 took a shower and got everything ready because this was the day we left =(!...So we got our luggage on the bus and everything. Then we were off to Macy's to do some shopping before we left at 12. So Emily,Kasi,Kendra and I didn't want to really go through there so we went and got some drinks from Starbucks on the 3rd floor then left to go get some lunch.Oh yeah and we drank Starbucks before the Broadway show Friday Night.We were addicted to that place!-Then anyhow back to Saturday. We went to this under-ground Burger King and the lady that worked there was so awesome, we talked to her forever!-Anyhow the seat were like high-up connected to a bar in the wall. Well Kendra was so short that we had to help her up there!-So Kendra had already sat down to eat, and we were waiting on our food well then the woman asks how old we were I was like 15 Emily was like 15 and Kasi was like im only 14 but I turn 15 in July and the woman was like well how old is that other one over there and I go 9, because she was so short and she looked about 9 that day. We all started laughing that woman goes "There over here trying to tell me your nine" Kendra goes "IM 15" it was soo funny!..Then we left there and Kasi and Emily wanted to buy some shoes from Footlocker while they were trying on Kendra and I were dancing to the music on they were playing. Then that song by Nas came all called "I can" and we were singing and repating what they said people were laughing so hard!-Then we go in this one place to help Emily find her brothers a shirt and this woman looks at me and goes "How old are you" I was like "15" she was like "Just 15" I was like "yeah" she was like "Well, your so beautiful" I was like "Awww...thanks". That wasn't the only time I heard that, or got hit on by guys that's all that happened when we were walking was us getting hit on. It was pretty funny though!..Then after that we got on the bus, and dropped Sal off in New Jersey to his car then headed home. We didn't stop until we got almost out of New Jersey to this place where we ate at a McDonald's to eat. Then we headed on home. And didn't stop until we got into Virginia. There Lindsey and Andrew bought movies "Simon Birch" and "Billy Madison" we watched them. Then I tried to sleep but Ashley was throwing ice at me, Emily Boggs took pictures of me sleeping..lol, and the smell from the bathroom about knocked you out. So around 10 we were all wired up and Kendra was in the floor trying to find something she dropped Kasi was drawing on Kendra's legs and Jill,Emily Boggs,Emily,Kendra and I were all having a conversation about different things!We were eating Twizzlers, Toll House Cookies,Swoops and all that stuff!..But before that we stopped at Wendys to get some food!..Then around 12 we were told we wouldn't be home until 1 well, we all called our parents and told them 1.Well the new bus driver didn't get there until 12:35 and we didn't get on the road until 12:45 and didn't pull into J.J.Kelly until 2-So I came home, talked to mom about the trip, unpacked a little and went to bed because I was exhausted!-
Today I didn't wake up until 12 then I went and took a shower and everything.Then went up to my aunt's to see them. I was wanting to go to the movies but I couldn't make it =(!But hopefully I will get to go sometime this week ;)-The trip to New York was awesome, I missed a-lot of people back home though, and I was kindve exicted to get back as soon as I got off the bus I go "MOMMY, IM SO TIRED I WANNA GO HOME" everyone was laughing at how I said it!-But i'm definatly going back next year that's must!-Anyhow, I think im going to get off here and go finish getting everything unpacked and talk to some people.

So we walked to Planet Hollywood to eat it was really good there, after we ate we went to the gift shop and there I spent $54 dollars on 2 shirts!Yeah kind've expensive but I didn't care!-Then after that we left and walked to Broadway, and got our seats which were really good then around 8 the play started which was "42nd street" and it was a great play!..So after that we left and got on the bus to get back to the hotel which we didn't get there until 11 something, and when we did we changed clothes and ordered pizza from room service. So we ordered a large one, the man gets up there and its a personal pan and he was like that will be 12 dollars all of us were like WHAT?...So we told him what we got and he kept apolozing, and went and got our pizza and gave us a personal pan free. So I stayed on the phone for about 45 minutes or something like that talking to someone. Then we finally got in the bed!-
Friday-Woke up and got ready, went down to eat breakfast then headed off to the Statue of Liberty. So we get on the boat and let me tell you that thing would make you sick if we were sitting down and waiting for it to pull out!..It kept moving back and fourth back and fourth. There were so many people on there it wasn't funny which made it worse. So we get there and Abbi,EmilyB, and I decided to go in the cafe thing and get something to drink. So this guy that worked there was totally hott and he kpet flirting. Well at first I was like I want an "Iced Coffee" and he was like what I was like and "Iced Coffee" and he couldn't understand my acsent and was making fun of it. I was like okay whatever!..So after that he comes over to get his picture taken with us, he was so so hott!-Then it was time to leave and ride the boat to the immigration museum. Well over there I had a little confretation with someone on the trip, not to mention any names-Ugh, but he was really getting on my nerves!-Then we got off at the mesuem and walk through it was pretty cool. Abbi,Emily,Ashley and I made fun of "Plug Boy" the whole time..lol..((inside joke))!Then after we left there we got back on the boat. Then went to the bus to ride to South Seaport to get something to eat. When we got there we met up and were told times to be back and that certain spot.So Abbi,Ashley and I went and got some pizza at this one place, it was good, while we were eating this hott guy kept going by and looking and then went and got his friends and goes "Man, look at those girls" and they were like "They're hott as h*ll" they didn't think we could hear them..lol..but we did!.So we smiled and waved and they about died. So fianlly they had to leave, how sad ='(...haha!..So we walked down to this store called steps where I bought three very extermly cute watches for only $22 dollars I was very happy with my purchase!While we were walking we saw Danielle and Lindsey and they showed us these Gucci watches they had bought from this guy and they were real. So everyone was going to buy them because they were selling them and they were the real deal!-It was kind've funny you just had to have been there. Hannah was cracking me up!-Then we left and went to Ground Zero, and you really couldn't see anything because there was these fences all up around it. So we just wen to Starbucks and got something else to drink, I got something different and it was really really good!..After that it was time to ride the Subway, whoo I was kind've scared I wouldn't get off in time but Sal held the door for us. Well, Emily Whitaker fell getting on and then when she was getting off Sal let the door go because it was her and this guy on the trip with us getting off and the door caught Emily by her head it was bad, but I laughed my head of she had already fallen up the steps that day, and sat in gum.When we got off the Subway we went to do some more shopping I got some more stuff, lordy im a shop-aholic and Kendra ran out of money, so I bought her a shirt in American Eagle because im a good friend like that. After we shopped we went to eat at this place called 'Puglias' it was so awesome in there!-We had this guy to bring this piano to where we were sitting and we sang along to the songs 'Brandy Bunch' 'Get up and shake your napkin' and some other Italian song. Which the Shake your napkin was the best because we all stood up and started swinging our nakins above our head!..We changed at the resturant for Broadway, Kasi and I almost were wearing the exact same thing, we looked sexii didn't we Kasi?..lol!-So off we went to Broadway..well on the way to the bus Kendra turns around and goes "Guys I think I furkled my purse in the resturant" I was like "Kendra did you just say furkled" she wsa like "yeah" we all were laughing and giving her a hard time so we get right there to get on the bus and Kendra was like "The next person that says furkel im going to hurt them" and I go "Shut-up and get on the furkling bus" everyone was cracking up!-Then we started saying farkling, you just had to have been there!..Well, we get to Broadway and we had balcony seats this time instead of floor so half our group was on one side and then Abbi,Matt,Peter,Andrew,Ashley's mom, Brittany, Noelle,Justin and I were completly sepreated from everyone!..But we had really good seats. Near the end of the play there was this gay guy that was standing up and he was dancing and knew every move to the play, we were all like okay he has seen this play one to many times!-We were all singing Mama Mia and Dancing Queen the rest of the night..lol!But after the play Kendra and Peter were walking to the bathrooms and Ms.Thompson was like let's go guys and Kasi got her words confused because she saw Kendra and Peter and she goes "Wait, we have to wait on Keter"-haha it was soo funny.Well after the play we went back to the hotel and we were all wild!Our toliet for stopped up so I had to call down to the front desk for maintance to come up and un-stop it.-I bet we didn't get in bed until 2 that night!-
Saturday-Got up like at 6 took a shower and got everything ready because this was the day we left =(!...So we got our luggage on the bus and everything. Then we were off to Macy's to do some shopping before we left at 12. So Emily,Kasi,Kendra and I didn't want to really go through there so we went and got some drinks from Starbucks on the 3rd floor then left to go get some lunch.Oh yeah and we drank Starbucks before the Broadway show Friday Night.We were addicted to that place!-Then anyhow back to Saturday. We went to this under-ground Burger King and the lady that worked there was so awesome, we talked to her forever!-Anyhow the seat were like high-up connected to a bar in the wall. Well Kendra was so short that we had to help her up there!-So Kendra had already sat down to eat, and we were waiting on our food well then the woman asks how old we were I was like 15 Emily was like 15 and Kasi was like im only 14 but I turn 15 in July and the woman was like well how old is that other one over there and I go 9, because she was so short and she looked about 9 that day. We all started laughing that woman goes "There over here trying to tell me your nine" Kendra goes "IM 15" it was soo funny!..Then we left there and Kasi and Emily wanted to buy some shoes from Footlocker while they were trying on Kendra and I were dancing to the music on they were playing. Then that song by Nas came all called "I can" and we were singing and repating what they said people were laughing so hard!-Then we go in this one place to help Emily find her brothers a shirt and this woman looks at me and goes "How old are you" I was like "15" she was like "Just 15" I was like "yeah" she was like "Well, your so beautiful" I was like "Awww...thanks". That wasn't the only time I heard that, or got hit on by guys that's all that happened when we were walking was us getting hit on. It was pretty funny though!..Then after that we got on the bus, and dropped Sal off in New Jersey to his car then headed home. We didn't stop until we got almost out of New Jersey to this place where we ate at a McDonald's to eat. Then we headed on home. And didn't stop until we got into Virginia. There Lindsey and Andrew bought movies "Simon Birch" and "Billy Madison" we watched them. Then I tried to sleep but Ashley was throwing ice at me, Emily Boggs took pictures of me sleeping..lol, and the smell from the bathroom about knocked you out. So around 10 we were all wired up and Kendra was in the floor trying to find something she dropped Kasi was drawing on Kendra's legs and Jill,Emily Boggs,Emily,Kendra and I were all having a conversation about different things!We were eating Twizzlers, Toll House Cookies,Swoops and all that stuff!..But before that we stopped at Wendys to get some food!..Then around 12 we were told we wouldn't be home until 1 well, we all called our parents and told them 1.Well the new bus driver didn't get there until 12:35 and we didn't get on the road until 12:45 and didn't pull into J.J.Kelly until 2-So I came home, talked to mom about the trip, unpacked a little and went to bed because I was exhausted!-
Today I didn't wake up until 12 then I went and took a shower and everything.Then went up to my aunt's to see them. I was wanting to go to the movies but I couldn't make it =(!But hopefully I will get to go sometime this week ;)-The trip to New York was awesome, I missed a-lot of people back home though, and I was kindve exicted to get back as soon as I got off the bus I go "MOMMY, IM SO TIRED I WANNA GO HOME" everyone was laughing at how I said it!-But i'm definatly going back next year that's must!-Anyhow, I think im going to get off here and go finish getting everything unpacked and talk to some people.
