Day:32 (Tuesday)
Right now as I am writing this blog it is Wednesday and I am in Oregon, I realized i had forgotten to write my very last blog and that i should do it now:(.
Here it goes.
Tuesday I woke up both happy and sad at the same time. I woke up happy to see my mom and sad to leave my aunt, the person I bonded with for 3 weeks! It was a disappointing day but I wanted to spend it the best I could because for all I knew it could be the last time I saw these very special people in a long time! After I woke up, I went into the living room with my aunt for a little while. After that I went to go with my grandparents to pick up my uncle that just flew in from Mexico and was with my brother for 6 weeks! We had waited for a while and even guessed a few people to be him!! Once the actual him came out from the doors he got into the car and went back to my grandparents house. Once we all got back to my grandparents house we just got to sit, talk, and relax. Later at about 4:00 or so we were doing a goodbye dinner for me and a hello dinner for my uncle. Before we went to go eat we went we picked up my cousin at his uncles house that he was staying at. Now, I hadn't been to his uncles house before but I had heard many good things about it. His uncle owns a business called "rockscape" and makes some pretty good money doing it, but I'm not gonna go into too much detail about that. When we entered his house you first see the living room and a sliding glass door with a pool and hot tub that was overflowing with water behind it!! Of course, we were there to pick up my cousin and not get a full house tour, so I didn't get to see the whole house, but what I did see was pretty amazing!! After we had gotten done picking up my cousin, we headed to the pizza parlor, where we were going to eat at! Once we got there we sat down and my uncle Jason was there and so was my cousin, Skyler, my grandparents and my AMAZING aunt, Jody and her husband, my uncle. Everyone else got salads but me and my cousin got pizza, but before anyone got any food they gave us bread that got me pretty full before I even had my pizza!!! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to eat my pizza. About 10-20 minutes later everyone else got there food but me and Skyler were still waiting for our pizza. Once we did get our pizza, I could barely eat anything, so I only had like 2 pieces and I took the rest in a box. While we were there me and my cousin, Skyler were talking and suddenly we realized that we were bumping our elbows together and we didn't know why but then we decided to make it our handshake!! A little bit later we had to leave to get me on time for my flight and I was feeling really nervous to first of all, flying alone and second of all, leaving my aunt!! But before we went we headed to my grandparents because when I was there my aunt came over and ave me a magazine and 2 cookies and I am so thankful for her and for what she gave me! After that we headed off tot he airport with my aunt, her husband, and my cousin, Skyler. Once we got there my aunt wanted to show me what to do if I'm there alone, so we first checked the diparture/landing board and we saw that my flight was delayed to 8:50 so then we went to check-in and everything and then we sat down at my gate. A little bit later we found out it was delayed again!! So after we fund that out me and Skyler went to charge our phones and talk a little bit but I also wanted to spend more time with my aunt so we spent 15 minutes or so at the charging station and the rest of the time with my aunt!!! Later we found out...yes, it was delayed AGAIN!!! So then we waited and waited and talked and talked and then we heard over the inercom that it was pre-boarding and then, as I forgot to tell you, as we were checking in, since I was an unaccompanied minor, I got a ticket holder thing that I had to wear the whole time. So with the ticket holder I had to give the tickets to the man and he did some writing or something but then I gave my cousin a hug and my aunt and uncle and tried to hold in all my tears and so I couldn't hug her too tight or else I would just start balling!! Then a a man led me and this other kid onto the plane and I was still really scared and nervous but once I got on the plane I calmed down only a small amount. Then the other little boy, he sat behind me and we were only aloud in the first 3 rows of seats and i got a window seat with only one person other than me sitting in one out of the 3 seats and he was on the aisle seat. During the beginning of the flight they brought us drinks and peanuts, pretzels if you wanted. After that I thought it would pass the time if I slept and I tried to go to sleep but no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't work!! So then I decided to play some games on my tablet, so then I did that for a while and then just tried to relax and I did that a little bit. Finally when my plane landed, the man was going to walk us off the plane to meet our parents! So after we had gotten off he said that the parents can't get through security this late so we were going to have to go with a sweeper and then we had to go back to security to see my mom and brother and for the little boy, who ever was picking him up. So then suddenly I saw my brother...and then my mom, but for some reason, I didn't feel like I was ever away from them! Anyways after that my brothers friend came over and slept over and now it is nighttime and i have spent almost all day on my blog!!
Doing this blog and going on this trip made me feel very grateful for everything I have and I have definitely been able to bond with my aunt! I may start another blog just about my everyday life and just type the highlights of it and hopefully you will read it!! Thank you for reading when I post and I know most of you reading, are family, so I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
goodbye everyone!!!
