March 22nd

Hye Y'all,

Wow, It's been a long time since I've had some time to write something on this blog.
I've been so busy lately!
But I'll tell y'all what I've been up to.

In January, we went to New York, I've posted a little bit about it, but not quite everything.
So here we go:
The night at the Rockefeller center was awesome ! It was really cold though.
But we had a great time up there.
The morning after we went to the empire state building. It was really cool to see New York up high during daytime.
In the afternoon, we went to Madison square, and the Moma museum.
We saw some of the greatest artist in the world, which was really cool !
I'm so glad we went there.At night, we went to the central terminal, the big trainstation :)
Offcourse, we lost the way under the ground.
At night, it was time to go home, which was really sad. The address we had to go to was written on the internet. We walked all the way over there, but apparently they wrote the wrong address on there. Offcourse we had no idea..
Luckily some other megabus stopped by and volunteered to pick us up. We arrived at our bus just in time.

We arrived in Washington DC around 5 o'clock in the morning. We had 4 hours to spend there. We decided to go for a quick breakfast, and after that take a cab to the white house. So we did, and at 7 o'clock in the morning we were standing in front of the White house. It was AWESOME ! I was so happy to see the white house.
We had to hurry back to catch the next bus home.

At January 17th, school started again. My new classes this semester are Calculus, Spanish 2, Choir, Fitness, Accounting and psychology.

February 8, we went on a ski weekend with the youth group from my church.
Friday night, when we arrived, there was a band playing, and a girl talking about religion and all that.
Saturday, we could snowboard or ski all day long. I had a blast, it was SO much fun !
Saturday night, we had a program again, which was also on Sunday morning.
After that, we had to go back to Harriman, Tennessee. Too bad, cause this weekend was so much fun !

From then on, Autumn, Mason and Payne went with me to the karaoke every Thursday. Every week, we have so much fun there ! That's definitely one of the most fun things to do here. Because we can only get to the karaoke around 8, we usually go to the Lincoln bar afterwards or do something else.

On the 3rd of March, which was going to be a regular Sunday.
We went to church, had lunch, and after that we went to the band concert from Bruce and Diana. When we came home, I noticed that there were strange things standing in the kitchen. I thought it was kind of weird. I wanted to go to my room, to put my purse away.
But suddenly the whole living room was full with all of my friends.
I can't believe Diana and Bruce organized a surprise party for me! It was SO cool !
I had a lot of fun that night ! I'm never going to forget what they did for me :)
To bad we had to go to Youth group afterwards. Luckily, Denis, Jonas and Mason came with us. It was Awesome ! I've never had so much fun at a youth group before, Haha :)

A week later, on Saturday march the 9th, my parents were going to come and visit me.
I was so nervous ! We cleaned all day, and finally, around 5pm, it was time to go to the airport and pick them up.
I wasn't expecting a hard time, but we all had to shed a tear :) From happiness off course!
After that we went and got our car rental, and we went to Wasabi together.
Andrew, Christina, Brayden and Addyson were coming too. I was so excited !!

Sunday morning, we all went to church. Mom and Dad were kind of nervous I think, but it was fun. It all went fine. Afterwards, we went to the Mexican.
Then it was time to leave Harriman, and take off to see some new cities.
Sunday night, we visited Nashville, the country city :) We went to Broadway, and had a lot of fun!
Monday, we went to Memphis. In the afternoon, we visited Graceland, Elvis Presley's home. After that we went to Beale street. It was very quiet in Memphis, so we went to be fairly early because we had a big drive to do the next day.
On Tuesday morning, we left to New Orleans. It was about a 6 hour drive, which obviously took us a while to get there.

My dad asked me if I wanted to drive a little. DU-UH !
So I drove a while in the state of Mississippi and Alabama. It felt so cool :)
When we finally arrived in New Orleans, we went out for dinner, and after that we went straight to Bourbon street. We loved it, especially my mom, lol :)
Wednesday, the main activity was the Swamp tour. It's a kind of boat tour in the Swamps of Louisiana, where you can spot Alligators and a lot of Turtles, Snakes, and strange birds.
 It was really cool, we saw a lot of Big Alligators ! Whoop Whoop

After that, we visited some Plantations, such as the Oak Alley plantation, where the Movie Braveheart was recorded. It was beautiful!
Thurday we visited the French Market, an walked around in the French Quarter.
We tasted some Alligator, and we had Beignets at the famous Café du Monde. It was super ! Our last evening, my mom wanted to go back to bourbon street. We had a lot of fun !

Friday, we had to drive all the way back to Harriman, where Bruce and Diana would be waiting on us. We had Pizza all together. After that we talked a little more and went up to bed, it was a long day !
Saturday morning, Diana made a huge Southern breakfast for us. It was delicious !
We decided to take a drive together to the great Smoky Mountains, and after that it was time to say goodbye again. Too bad they had to leave so soon. But they gave me a great week, and we had a blast!

The first week of school was very busy. I had some exams to make, and I had a lot that I had to take care off. I'm happy it's finally weekend.
Tonight, Bruce will be home again, and we'll all have dinner with Andrew and Christina's family. Btw, They're expecting a new Baby, I'm so excited for them. But at the same time, It's sad to think that I'll be far gone by then.

Slowly but surely, It digs to me that there's only 7 weeks of school left before graduation.
That means, only 7 more Karaoke's to go, only 7 more Rotary meetings to attend, ...

So now I'm going to enjoy the time that I have left, and make every second count !
Seeya later Alligator ;)
