Part 1 – America

Woah I haven’t wrote in here  for ages. I finally went back to America! And it was even better because Lauren, Larissa, Jade, Jess and Lisa came as well ^_^

We had to wake up reallly early hours of the morning, like 4am but I woke a little earlier! Was funny Lauren Jason and me – 3 in the bed! Haha. It was way too hot! I was squashed in the middle. I think I nearly killed Jason with my arse though. Lol. We went to Chelmer Park and hot picked up by the coach. Was really sad saying goodbye to Jason! I got a bit teary but got rid of them straight away. There was pictures being taken on the coach and I looked so bad! It was too early lol. We arrived at the airport and my suitcase was so heavy! There was this really annoying security guard walking up and down near all us in the line looking at us head to toe. He was trying so bad to look serious and scary I Jade and me were lauhging lol. Bean head.

It was a long flight and I only got about ..less than 5 minutes sleep which I swear I was still awake.. felt so weird! We had 7 and a hlaf hours journey on the plane to NEW YORK then had a couple of hours there.. ong I miss the hot dogs there lol. Then another 2 hours to Florida. The security in New York are so scary and strict!  But I guess they need to be after what happened with 9/11. When I walked through the detector thing it went off nearly everytime I went in it in every airport!

As we arrived in Florida, we stepped outside all tired with our suitcases and the air was so warm! I was SO happy to be back there finally. We got onto the bus all chatting excitingly and then we got to the church and saw so many people standing there waiting for us!! It started to rain but it wasn’t cold, unlike England. Oh yeah we saw Keith! He drove us to the church. He said "Hi Clare"! to me and I was so happy to have met him for the third time now. I’ve known him for 5 years now =)

We stepped off the coach and I was looking around – it was quite dark then Jade said "isn’t that your friend Morgan, Clare?" I was like :O :O! I looked where she was pointing and saw Morgan and Tania!! I left my suitcase and ran over to them and gave them both bug hugs =) I never thought I’d see them again. Tania handed me some flowers (which they did last time too) and I was like huh? Did they feel bad and give me the flowers that that they are meant to be giving to their guests???!) I was like awwwwwwwww thank you! But whose staying with you? And they said me and Jade was! Omg, I’ve never been so happy in my life! I remember saying to Lauren, "I will be so angry if you get The Matthews!! Lol. Apparently they had only found out about 2 days before we got their that we were staying with them! I called Jade over and introduced her. They gave her flowers as well 🙂 I had the biggest smile on my face. I didn’t even care about my hair or clothes getting soaked from the rain I was that happy.
I then noticed Adam, Morgan’s brother. He walked over and I gave him a massive hug as well. He’s grown so much and is even driving now! Richard then came over and was reallly happy to see me as well =)

Adam and Richard took Jade’s and my suitcase and put them in the car boot. They said that we must be really hungry and took us out for a meal. Jade and me shared, we was quite hungry, it’s just that we were so tired! We shared ‘Cheese burger platter and fries’. I did feel a little awkward because I hadn’t seen them for so long and my hair was growing into a ‘fro. I also felt bad because I didn’t talk much because of my tiredness from the loong plane journeys but they understood! They spoke quite a bit still. We ate at the place where Morgan works – there was about 20 TVs there! I’m really glad Jade got to meet The Matthews. As soon as I found out we were staying with them, I knew that this trip was going to be the best one ever.

We arrived home at their house which I remembered exactly what it looked like. The house smelt the same as it did before, that home smell. Not bad by the way lol! Tania told us to make ourselves at home, and told me to make sure Jade does lol. We walked into the guest room that we were staying in and it was like one of those pretty little hotel rooms! Omg it was gorgeous. And the bed was made out how you see it in magazines. The bed was SO comfy!! I think Jade and me woke in the same position that we fell asleep in lol. Didn’t wake once.

When we woke we had our own bathroom same as last time. I can’t remember much what happened in the morning. I think Tania made us her gorgeous banana muffins! I love them so much! Waa I want one right now! We got to Winter Garden Church and met Keith there. Omg! I saw Sidney and Liam playing football with this boy and Jess said to me, "Who’s that boy over there, Clare?" I was staring and thinking. I was about to say I didn’t know when I realised it was Luke!! The guy I had met the time I came before. ..He had changed A LOT lol! I got to know him loaaads when I last came to Florida and was really sad saying bye to him. I didn’t say hi that time though.. Not until another day. We waited for everyone to turn up then we went inside where Keith spoke to us for a bit then told us we were going to Gatorland.

I’m going to stop here, need to go home to Jason! Yay this Sunday it’s a year for our relationship and I still love him LOADS ^_^ hehe. I’m still living with him at the moment, I’m getting my last bits for my flat this week. I’m getting fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. The only thing I am paying for is the fridge/freezer which I went to see Monday. Only £50! So should be moved in soon =) Oh yeah my kitten is now.. about 5 and a half months old – Tinkerbell and growing so fast! Love her lots!

I will carry this on when I have more spare time. Feels strange to say 30 days ago, we left England for Florida! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
