"BEEP...BEEP...BEEP! BEEP... BEEP... BEEP! BEEP... BEEP... BE..."
I hit snooze on my alarm. It's 3:01 in the morning and we're leaving for Scotland today! Mira and her Mom are gonna be here at 4 so we can drive to Dallas to go to Scotland! We have to fly to Orlando then to Glascow so it's gonna be a looooonnngggg day... I'm so excited! I went to school yesterday but I'm not going for the rest of the week! We're flying out today to give us time to get over the time difference on Wednesday then I dance Thursday and Mira dances on Friday and we're flying home Saturday!
The alarm starts again so I roll out of bed and put on the outfit I picked out last night. A denim button down shirt tucked into a black skirt (with Nike pros under duh) and some black converse. I put on my "my other half" Alex and Ani and head into the bathroom. I just brush out my hair because I don't want to deal with some style right now and for the rest of the day. I head down to the kitchen and sit at the island. Mom is up with me (and the twins) so she puts a pop tart in the toaster and makes me some scrambled eggs.
"It's gonna be a lot quieter without you here Ava..." Mom says
"I'm only gonna be gone till Saturday!"
"I know, it's just gonna be weird not having all my babies together. I think this is gonna be the longest you and Mia have ever been apart!"
"It's gonna be so weird without you and her!"
"It doesn't feel right having you go without me..."
"I'll text you as soon as I get results!"
"Oh only text in wifi so we don't get some crazy international texting fee..."
"Okay mom I won't."
She finishes the eggs and grabs the pop tart and puts it on a plate and hands it to me across the island. I chow down because I won't be having another actual meal until tomorrow in Scotland. I check my phone: 3:47. I go upstairs and grab this light tan/cream purse I got from Hannah and put my phone charger, my headphone, a pack of gum and my wristlet in it. I grab my phone off my desk and my feis blanket and fold it up and put that in my bag too. I check my phone and there's a text from Mira;
3:30: Mira💗: leaving now, be there in like 25 minutes😆
It's 3:56 now and I head back downstairs and they're pulling in right now! I grab my suitcase and dress bag and me and mom head outside. Mira helps me put my suitcase into their trunk and I put my dress bag on top of hers. She opens the door for me and I climb into the back seat and buckle up. The moms finish talking and I give mom a hug from my seat and then shut the door. We're off!
