Coming Right Up!

In just a month, our trip will start. Our family is furiously packing all our stuff and getting prepared for England. Mom and Dad still need to get us phone service because all of the companies are trying to make us do these money wasting "bargains" when we just need a simple deal. It is really , really exciting that we're so close to leaving!

Surprise!

Most days in early June are normal for me. I wake up around 7:30, go to school, come home, have dinner. But after dinner wasn't so normal. My parents led me into the living room and told me that I was going to move, for a year, to a country across the Atlantic Ocean, to my surprise. England. At first I felt like they were lying, but then I looked at my parent's faces. They were serious about it. I cried for joy. I fired them tons of questions about it when I had calmed myself down. Then I went up to my room and thought about how I would miss all of my friends for a whole year. That news was probably the biggest news I had ever heard in my life.
