AND so it begins.

BEFORE i get to any NYC stuff....

I GOT A PHONE CALL ON APRIL 11th.

from

elderkarsonpayton.

I wasn't expecting his call so early

in the day, so it was such a surprise!

i didn't have any service at times

so i felt like i was going to explode because

i didn't know if he was going to call back,

BUT HE ALWAYS did.

BEST 35ish minutes of my LIFE!

----

NEW YORK flight: torture.

i really dont like airplanes all that much.

our flight was suppose to take off at 11 but didn't

take off until about 1:30 in the morning.

so we were sitting there with our seatbelts

strapped and all for 2 hours. and then we took

off and it was another 4 hours.

wooo.

(see that girl in the background? HAHA. dont know who she is...)

this was at the beginning of the flight,

you can only imagine how terrible we looked at the end of it.

Kami can fall asleep anywhere.

we had to wait at the hotel for forever

to get our rooms all situated.

Right before we went to FIT, we all got some food.

shake shack, madison square.

YUMMMMMMY.

their hamburgers and shakes were delicious.

we went there twice, definitely worth it.

FIT show. look closely.

what is it made of?

HA

the day we got there we went to see WICKED.

i was forcing my eyes open the entire time,

but it was such a cute play!

i loved it.

We went to the metropolitan museum!

statues are cool. and so are paintings.

i loved how there are so many people playing music

on the streets. it made me happy.

these guys were GOOD. no joke.

purposing? YES. so cute.

if you cant tell there are TWO people up there...

bridge.

laughter guaranteed?

not so much.

byebye dollar.

ground zero.

we all went to church on sunday.

i had no idea that they had church

in the temple! it was different.

radio city music hall.

HELLLLLLOOOO NEW YORK.

nuts4nuts.

go get some.

empire state.

BEAUTIFUL view.

very windy.

and cold.

loved that also.

prince street.

vesuvio's: yummy food.

i THINK that is what its called.

that was tuesday. we were supposed to get home

that night at 12.

we get on our plane to take off.

it takes about an hour and a half before we actually can.

we are in the air for an hour.

then they announce that if we continue flying,

we will run out of oxygen.

which basically means we will all die.

so back to new york we go.

land. get off plane. wait for an hour.

get on a new plane.

dont get home till 4:30 AM.

best plane ride EVER!

i love my house. and EVERYONE that lives in it with me.

AH. i forgot bob. OUR tour guide. he was funny/grumpy/mean/weird/great.

it was a wonderful trip.
