So at last I am here! But i'll start from the begining, I had actually slept the whole night through. I thought I would have been up all night because I was excited. But I slept good, and woke up around 6am. Eddie was driving Yollie ti the airport the same day I was going so offered to drive me too. So Me, Eddie, Yollie and Tia up and out at 9am. On my way! I was surprisingly calm and not nervous.

Getting to the airport, saying my last goodbyes, I had spent the previous day with my sisters and dad, and then the morning had said goodbye to nana and the kids. So Tia walked in with me. The whole process was actually really simple. Here I had been fearing the worst. ut Got my ticket dropped off my bag and was on to security! That took all within 5-10 minutes to do. Sercurity was a bit longer, but only the que to it. Once there put everything in a box, they scanned you with this machine and then was done. Amsterdam pats you down a bit, SFO was simplier. Then the fun part. Waiting.....

Fortunatly Nathan was on, he had called me first but after calling mom I only had 8 minutes left on my phone. He called and right when it doed I realized I could use my laptop lol So im trying to set it up, and he must have remembered too, he called again. But since I was unable to answer it had to let it ring. Trying to hook up the airport connection. Called again and I was like I know! im trying to get on! lol You can read my airport updates on FB.

Once on the plane was exciting. I haven't been on a plane in years, and only to Grandma stella's house. The staff was super nice and friendly, constantly asking if we needed anything, are we okay. I happened to be in the middle row, so it was some guy, me, some girl, some guy. And then there was a isle on both side to walk, and then another rows on both sides.

Okay who says airline food sucks? Was good, not like a great meal, but was good. I had a choice between beef and potatoes, or pasta. My pasta was a basil marinara sauce, had cheese and was good! With this yummy bread roll, so good I had another for breakfast. It came with a salad and this pinapple carrot cake mhmm!  So with the meal and movies tv and music I was okay, they had movies like, the girl with the dragon tattoo, how does she do it, alice in wonderland. Tv shows like the big bang theory, friends, desprete housewives. A lot of popular stuff and then a ton of good music.  Had my own little tv and everything.

Only bad side is I didnt want to get up and climb over people, so I drank very little. So sitting there for 9 hours straight... my bottom got all sore lol and legs achy. Ehhh... and trying to sleep didn't happen for me. I started to when I first got on, I would slightly doese off but feel myself sliding to the side, towards the person next to me, so id sit back up, doze off slide, sit back up, so I was like forget it, im staying up.
Got off the flight made it to my next one easy. First I was D41.... long walk, made it turns out the changed it, so had to make my way all the way back to D7!! lol wasn't that far though. Where I had 2 hours to kill. I made my first Euro purchase! lol Went and bought me a diet coke. But yes it was a memorable moments XD Then security, board and was off. This is where I got butterflys. When The plane landed. Becase I was finally in the UK and knew Nathan was waiting on the other side.

So went through customs, asked questions, took all of about 10 minutes. And I went to get my bag, as soon as I walked in I saw it come out lol, lady was all it was waiting for you. Came out perfect timing. Got my bag and then there they were! Nathan, and Karen, his mom. Was here! They had said I had just missed it, there was this quire, dont know if thats the word. But a big group all had been singing this little light of mine, waiting for there loved ones to come out, and had been singing it right before I came.

The car ride home was so nice. It is truly so beautiful here. The green of course, looks like the far out country side, green, and fams, and sheep and then you get into little villages, we drove through and there tiny. But the houses and buildings are all made of stone. I'll have to post pictures soon. But so pretty, reminds me of Beauty and the beast, remember when she walks through the village in the morning? Like that but prettier.

We stopped at Tasco, little supermarket, Nathan was hungry, and the bread was good :) Then home, my new home for the next 5 months. I was feeling slightly sleepy, I got maybe 2 hours sleep in the past 2 days, or day and a half? or... But wasn't so bad, so we chilled a tiny bit at the house. I unpacked, made my phone call to mom and dad. Met Mark, Nathans brother. And then me and Nathan took off a bit, we walked through this wood trail, tiny forest, but omg so pretty, from open country to this forest! I'll def take pics of this soon. walking down through this little trail, the tall trees. Makes me want to go camping lol But then it started to rain so we headed back, went to a shop. They have fish and chips, and mince meat pie, and haggis, and black pudding lol but I stuck with a chicken sandwich and chips.. i mean fries lol. Wasn't that hungry at first, but ate it all. I think i'll be adjusting fine here with the time change and meal times.

Headed back, where me , Nathan, and his mom watched a bit of comedy central, chilled, chatted. Was nice, my first day was just really laid back and easy. Oh! She and Nathan made waxed teddy bears! I know how to make them now. Stuffed teddy bears made into scented wax dolls. There cute, really good gifts. I wonder if I can pull off making one in the future. Might be something fun to teach Savan or sienna. But anyways This was my first day. Todays a new day but may blog later or bout tomorrow since I barely getting this one up. I'll have lots of pictures soon! Overall the ride here was very pleasent, happy im here!
