Day 1



So I woke up this morning and my new journey was going to start. I was officially moving to Washington State within a few hours. I ran to the corner store for my last bodega (corner store) sandwich for a while so I can have lunch on the plane. Nicole and I got the rest of my stuff together and we packed up the car. We picked up Oma at about 10am to head to JFK. I swore I wasn’t going to cry because I got everything out last night with mom and up to this point I was good, NO CRYING! Nicole, Oma and I got to the airport and I blew through check-in. My one bag was over weight so I sat on the airport floor and took some clothes out of one bag and put it in the other bag. My large suitcase was 50.1 lbs and my duffel bag was 49.7 lbs. Talk about cutting it close! Nicole came in from parking the car and bought me my last cup of dunkin donuts coffee till I come back to New York. That’s one thing I will be missing because I’m not a fan of Starbucks. The three of us hung out for a little while before I had to go through TSA. Boarding was starting at 1130am so at about 11am it was time to say “see ya later” and this is where the tears started. I tried so hard not to cry but I couldn’t help it. As much as Nicole and I don’t get along I’ll still love her and always will. What can I say, she’s my big sister.
Well it’s 1:09pm and I’m on the plane. Just finished eating my lunch and now having some Sprite while I write this out. According to JetBlue Tv we are currently over Detroit at 35565 feet going 435mph.
The next time I write tonight I will be in Washington State.

Well I'm in Washington and so far I'm having a blast. My plane landed about 20 mins early and Nicole was already there waiting for me. Got my extremely luggage and headed to the car. There was so much traffic on the highway that we decided to get off and grab some lunch. Stopped at some restaurant, the food not so great. After lunch we were back on the road, we had another hour and half ride but decided that we wanted to take the ferry across to the island. I've never been on a ferry that you can take cars on so I was super excited. Because we had to wait about 30 minutes for the ferry we decided to hop out of the car to grab some amazing ice cream. The ferry took about 35 minutes and we were on Whidbey Island.

We got to the house and I had to change and get ready because our friend Mike was making us dinner. Nicole, Preston and myself got to Mike's house for a great meal of chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies. Everything was amazing !!! (thanks Mike) We bull shitted for a couple hours, well it was more of the guys talking about work stuff then us really having a conversation.. But we did decide that every Wednesday we will take turns cooking which I'm super excited to cook !

Its 10:38pm now which means it 1:38am in New York and just because I slept most of the flight I'm super tired. So good night everyone!
