Adventure Begins


Adventure Begins
(I haven’t had the internet the past few days so I wrote these blogs on a word document and I will post them all today J)

Tuesday, 18th 2011

If you notice the date of this blog you will probably laugh, because you know that I didn’t experience the 18th, I skipped it. As the 18th began where you are, I crossed the international dateline and it went from the 17th to the 19th. So I decided to date my blog the 18th so I can feel like maybe I could experience the 18th. J

In the past 35 hours, I have said goodbye to Tyler, said goodbye to my parents, gone to the Methodist Hospital to say goodbye to Stephanie Schafbuch and baby Cru, flown on four planes and landed in New Zealand. EEK. On those four flights I have spent 20 hours in the air, and 10 hours in airports, and experienced some panic attacks in the airports. The first few were ok, then I wasn’t sitting next to my friends on the international flight (we fixed that), then there was a mix up in the Auckland airport and we barely got on our plane! But we made it in one piece!

As I left Ames and said goodbye to all my loved ones, I felt like I was only leaving for a day and coming back, I didn’t feel like I was really saying goodbye, so it wasn’t very hard. It hit me on my international flight when I was watching Kungfu Panda II. I was a little bit embarrassed because I was crying while watching the part where he finds out his parents were murdered and his mom saved him. I thought, “I want to call my mom and dad and Tyler.”  And I couldn’t and I got a little bit sad. It reminded me of a time that a babysitter brought a Land Before Time movie over when Little Foot’s mama dies, and I cried and cried until my mom came home because I was afraid that she died. So ya, it’s hit me every one. I can’t call/text you when I want to. But on the other hand, it’s beautiful here! J I’ll try to post some pics on my next blog! J

Until next time,

Krystal
