(600AM) Mom comes in to wake me and Ernie up. I get dressed, and while Erin get's drees I finish packing. (Not quite as ready as I thought I was. :)
(6:25AM) I can't find my sunday shoes! what am I going to do?!?!?!
(6:30) I found them, buried in my closet.... Whew! Mom starts yelling that we GOTTA GO! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!!!!! (we normally have left the house by 6:30) So I grab my stuff along with an apple to eat for lunch on the bus, because I didn't have the time I thought I would in the morning to make a sandwich. then I ran, as fast as possible in my dress shoes since they don't mix well with snow/ice, out to the car.
(6:35AM-7:20AM) I'm not sure what I did in the car....kind of a blur, maybe I slept, maybe I just imagined the so-totally-awsome-trip I was going on!! ^_^
(7:30AM-8:30ishAM) Mass. I think Fr. Dennis said it.
(8:40ishAM-?) My mom, and sister went down with me to the kitchen to help make sadwiches for the trip because we had promised Fr. Jim that we would. I met up with Ava, Margaret, Uncle Paul, and Jim before we all started. (my cousin Jim, not the priest) Ava and Margaret introduced me to Margaret's brother Michael. He's a pretty friendly/nice guy. Then Fr. Jim came down and we all started making the sandwiches.
Michael put out the bread, I put the salami on, Jim put the cheese on, Uncle Paul cut them in half, Ava and Margaret put them in bags, Erin counted and stacked them, and Mom supervised us all.
(?-?) After we made the sandwiches, all the people going on the trip (Me, Ava, Margaret, Michael) went out to our cars to get our clothes/bags and change. (No one was really thrilled with the idea of riding 12hrs. in a bus in Sunday clothes....) After we changed I helped Ava, Margaret and Michael get the rest of their stuff of their van and carry it into the church.
(9AM-9:45AM?) I hung out with Margaret, Ava, Michael, Jim, (Ava's little brother, not my cousin) Laura (Margaret's sister) and.....I think that's it. So we hung out in the cafe downstairs and ate breakfast (scones for me!) while we waited for the bus.
(9:46AM-9:52AM) Fr. Jim came to ask us to move our stuff out of the kitchen, so we brought it over to the Cafe where we were.
(10AM) We move our stuff to the bus!!!!! I borrow a dollar from Ava to buy myself a plain bagel to eat with my apple for lunch. (Thank you Ava!!) Anyway, we all loaded our stuff into the bottom of the bus, then we went inside and I noticed how reeeeaaally big the over-head compartments were, so I ran out and just stuffed my bag up there for the trip. Then we stood outside with Laura and talked. (Laura was going by airplane with Ava's family.) Then we saw Richard...."Ahhhhh! Richard!!!" I don't know why we did that......we just did......it was funny at the time.
(10:15AM+) Sitting in the bus waiting to leave....... Seating arrangement:
FL: Janina FR: Me!
