Amy's Point of View:

     Five days until Christmas and New year vacation. Mark finished recording his videos, All he has to do now is edit them and then we're completely set. I refuse to think about packing at this point in time because I know I'm going to have to force Mark to pack and stay at his side until he's finished or else it's not going to get done. Not trying to point out that not so great fact out about him but I've heard stories about what he packed for vidcon last year. It's not a surprise that the wooden floor under me is cold against my bare feet but what does shock me a bit is that I am awake before most of the others. "Really" I stop in the doorway of the kitchen "It's 9.30 and we're the only ones awake" I half laugh before continuing to walk to the coffee machine. "I was wondering who would come down first" I can hear Ethan's mug hit the wooden table as he sets it down "I'm surprised it's you" He laughs and I turn away from the machine and give him a look. "What's your plan for today?" I turn on my heels with my mug in hand and lean myself against the counter. "I have a few more videos to film then I am going to be busy editing for the rest of the day" He stands and walks over to put his mug into the sink "It'll be worth it though when we go on vacation to not have to worry about our work lives and spend time with family" He smiles and so do I. "You're right" I nod and set my empty mug on the counter behind me. "What are your plans for today?" He asks curious. "Haven't decided yet" I shrug "But getting ready is the first step I guess" I walk over and set my mug into the sink "I'll see you later, Good luck editing and filming" I turn around for a second before walking into the hallway, Giving him a half smile.

     No matter how unmotivated I feel taking a shower and getting myself ready has always helped. Even if I'm getting ready to go back int my room and watch a full season of a netflix show. Everyone is filming or editing and I don't really have anyone to hang out with besides myself. Kathryn is watching TV in the living room and I am not too fond of the shows she picks considering their either sports shows or murder mysteries. As I walk from the bathroom back to my room I kick the door shut with my heel and watch myself in the mirror as I dry my hair with my towel. Since I plan to be lazy all day my outfit resembles that. A white tank top with black fabric shorts seems like a good enough outfit for today. I hang my towel on the back of my door to dry and plop down on my bed, Getting myself ready for a long day of nothing.

     Still not a tun is happening today. Mark is clicking away clips in his room and I think Ethan is still in the basement recording videos. I haven't heard him come upstairs yet so I believe thats the case. In this house you can hear everything everyone is doing if you're on the same floor as them. An example being I could hear Kathryn face timing her family in her room and her yelling at her brother when he took over the phone. Her family had to remind her that he's little still and then she stopped and continued to talk to her family. See, We can hear anything. It's not too late in the afternoon so I don't know what I'll do to pass the rest of the day by with but I'm hoping I'll know soon enough.

     After hours of doing absolutely nothing, Eve texted me and asked if I wanted to get dinner and of course I said yes. The crew and I have been trying not to bother Tyler and Eve too much because we figure having a newborn you don't need any other distraction. When I arrive at WallFlower cafe, I decide spending the extra five dollars is worth it rather than embarrassing myself in front of a majority of the cafe who's sitting in front of the giant window. I lock my car and put the key into my pocket and begin to walk down to the cafe. I can hear the sound of my boots hitting the old concrete with a click every step. It's not a far walk from the garage to the cafe and soon enough my hand is wrapped around the fancy metal door handle. "Hello" The smiling hostess greets me "How many are in your party tonight?" She smiles and grabs a menu. "I actually think the other party is here already" I smile and begin to walk past the podium "Thank you though" I smile once more and begin to walk into the crowded cafe.

     "And then Tyler went into the bathroom and cried until I forced him to come back out and help me" She laughs and takes a sip of her water "I felt horrible but the blood curdling screams got the best of me" She leans back into her chair and raises a shoulder. "Sounds like having a kid is hard" I smile at her, Loving her attitude about the entire situation. "Oh the hardest!" She laughs again "Don't have a kid until you're married and ready. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the babe to death but sometimes it can be a pain" She rolls her  eyes back into her head a little. "Are we referring to the baby or Tyler?" I laugh and so does she. "Both" She laughs harder and takes a sip of her drink. I am so happy she asked if I wanted to join her. It's nice to have a friend outside of the crew that I can talk to about something other than work. I'm not sure how long we stayed in the cafe for but I do know that the rest of the night was filled with good laughs, Good food, and and great person.

We hit our goal in less than a month! That's awesome and I couldn't be happier! Thank you loves for sticking around with me and being patient whenever I need to take a break. I wanted to get your loves opinion on the chapters of Amy and Mark on vacation. Should I do a chapter for every day they are there actually or write a chapter, skip a few days of their vacation and then write just a few more and then the vacations over? Tell me what you think. I hope you enjoyed this read.                                                                                                                                                                             xxParks
