Yeah, I went to Tennesee on Apr 13th 2006 and had a blast!! ^_^ Yeah, it as GREAT!!
I saw my little cousin for the FIRST TIME face-to-face!! Tristan. He is so adorable! ^_^ I honestly have to show you guys some pictures of my little cousin sometime!
Yeah, I got to hold him too. Can you believe it?? I'm 16 years older than him and I feel as if..I've known him forever. And I know he's with us because of God and all of your prayers. ^_^ Again, thank you everyone! I know I can depend on all of you!
One surgery down, 2 more to go. Poor little guy... 
But, hey, this was my trip:
On the 13th, a Thursday, my mom and I left to go up to Tennesee - remember I live in Florida. XD So, I had about 7-9 hours with my mom on that day. Just her and me!
I love my mom, no one can replace her. Hehe, she likes my techno music. XD Yeah, I burned off 3 CDs of techno. 2 were for her - one of Gigi D'Agostino and the other of Eiffel 65 and Darude. The last CD was for my cousin Daniel - Papa2nail/Silverchain89 on TLCR. ^_~ It was of Donkey Kong Country. You should've saw his face! He's 16 and older than me, but we are best buds. So, he was thrilled to have yet another CD of Nintendo/Techno music. ANYWAYS...
We got at there house really late. We left at 3:30 PM and arrived at 1:30 AM. Yeah, it was late. XD Daniel and Hailee(Aliena online) greeted me with my Aunt Tina! I love Tina. ^_^ To see her and Tristan doing so well was truly a prayer come true! She looked great. AND...I got to see Tristan's daddy, my new uncle. Rick, Tina's new husband, is REALLY nice. Daniel is the oldest, age 16 currently, will be 17 this June 7th. Then there's Hailee - she'll be 15(Whoa, reallY??
I just now realized that XD). Then Victoria, who'll be 13?? (Geez, I'm getting OLD.) Then Tessa, who'll be 11 - still a major shock. XD And last is Tristan. Wow..I've got a lot of cousins. ^_^ And I love them all!! Anyways...
Daniel and Hailee are children of my Uncle Rod - SUPER nice guy. ^_^ Then Victoria and Tessa are daughters of Tony. Tony is a man I will NEVER call my uncle. He's, sadly, very mean and treated my aunt and cousins VERY bad. I wil;l not go into detail, but I will say this: he left a car on that family. They endured true fear. I'm SO GLAD he's gone! And Tristan, the last of the bunch, is the son of Rick. Rick is a TERRIFIC father. ^_^ He's so loving and gentle, yet very responsible. Hehehe, ever had a dad that WANTS to be with you all the time when you were little? Someone who will be a good sport and PLAY with you?? ^_^ That's Rick all over!
I'm glad my Aunt Tina finally found a man for her. So, we all hung out that night until about 3:00 in the morning and then went to sleep. Wonderful so far? You hven't read nothing yet. ^_~
Then came Friday, Apr 14th.
We all, including Tristan, went to a marvelous river! I honestly can't remember how to spell it, but it was great. ^_^ Tennesee is such a beautiful state. Heh, my mom even picked up a paper to look for houses. XD Lol, you can tell she misses her sister, that's Tina, a lot as well wants to se little Tristan. So, we all had a cook out near the river. Where we were, there was tons of rocks and tiny rivers flowing by. We kids got a little bored as we waited for food to cook(hamburgers and hot dogs - yummy XD), so we all decided to step along the rocks in the cool, tiny rivers. ^_^ Doing that was MAJOR exercise for me - remember, I hardly go anywhere. I'm school bound. XD
Hailee, Victoria and Tessa seperated from me and Daniel to go play in the water. Daniel and I, however, went on a rock-hop adventure! ^_^ I LOVE Daniel, he's loads of fun! He reminds me of my sister, SF7. ^_^ Over gaps to jump over, he would help me across. So, he'd always go first and help me if I need it.
Well we soon found ourselves near half-wet rocks. He went first, keeping perfect balance. He turned to me, telling me not to jump. Well, I couldn't reach with stepping alone, so I had to jump. I jumped, left foot hitting the dry part of the rock. My right, however, landed on the wet parrt. My foot slid down into the water. Daniel grabbed hold my hand, I gripped it in return. But trying to stay on the rock, I went down. So, my left knee hit the jagged part of the rock as I tripped. My shin, the middle part of your lower leg(the tibia and fibula), scrapped the rock as well. So, yeah, I was injured, but managed to get up and not shed a tear. Daniel pulled me back up to my feet and I showed him my new wound. He apologized, sorry that I got hurt. I replied, "It wasn't your fault - I decided to follow. And I wanted to!" ^_^
Here's my wound. I took a picture of it today, Apr 17th.

Not pretty, is it? But, hey, what doesn't kill ya' makes you stronger. My leg is real sore and thebruises are pretty bad. But, hey, I loved traveling with Daniel across the rocks! ^_^ Oh nd he taught me how to skip rocks - I'll explain if you don't get it. Skipping rocks is where you toss rocks into the water and it jumps several times over it. ^_^ I did it several times, succeeded once. Lol, I'll catch on in time!
So then we ate hamburgers and hot dogs along with a cake my mom and I brought along. DELICIOUS FOOD!!
You gotta try it sometime. ^_~Apr 15th, us kids, except Tessa, went to go see the movie "Benchwarmers". Lol, it was really funny. ^_^ It's about three losers wanting to play baseball. But, they encourage kids, all the kids who are called "losers", to play if they want. Very inspiring as well as funny.
Ayways, two of my online friends joined us! Remember DI56? That's Reagen. ^_^ And his little brother Matt came with us too. I loved seeing them again. It's a really good feeling. Oh and Daniel's friend named KC came too. Lol, KC is funny. So, that day went great too! Afterwards, Rick played Mario Power Tennis and Mario Kart: Double Dash with Hailee, Daniel and me. SOMUCH FUN!! ^_^ Hehe, Rick couldn't believe my talent with video games. And, yes, he KNOWS how to play. So, he found my skill impressing. I didn't brag, but Daniel and Hailee did. That feels good.
I love playing with them!! Apr 16th, Easter Day, we all went to church - well, except Rick. He wasn't feeling good - tooth ach(s).
That was very..interesting. We visited two two churches. The first we had to turn and walk back out of. There was some things in it that just didn't seem..right. Ever get that feeling? Like everything they're saying is fake and not sincere at all?? Yep, that's what it felt like. EXTREMELY AWKWARD. :-/The second church was much better. We stayed for it. ^_^ Then we came back to Tina's house. Rick played with us again before we had Easter dinner. We had...*thinks*...ham, potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and rolls. Mmm, yummy. ^_^ Then we had to leave!
I hated to go... So, it was me and my mom again on the road for 7-9 hours. XD Going back was hard for my mom, she didn't wann leave either. I mean, she was CRYING!
I can understand how she feels - leavin' her sister and all. You know, now I miss Shelley - that's SF7. ^_^ But, see, I know how she feels! So, we got home last night at 11:00 PM. Yeah, again, late. Thankfully I got some sleep before school today.
SO....
Sound like I had fun? ^_^ I had TONS of fun. And I really miss them now. But, hey, I missed all of you here too. It's good to get away, but it's good being here too. I love them and I love all of you.
Home, sweet home! ^_^
