HOME AT LAST!
Ahh! I just arrived here in Atlanta. All of our family- including Mrs. Jordan...- came to meet us. Katie and my grandpa were there right when we got off the plane and everyone else was waiting for us. We were greeted with banners and posters and everything. Lexie loved all of the attention she was getting. She was blowing kisses and doing the silliest things. But she does NOT like the car seat. She screamed all the way home in it.
I am really excited to be home and I hope ya'll missed me too. I really missed everyone. I'm sorry I haven't updated the pics or anything at all but I promise I'll do that later. I'll tell you guys at school.

In LA! Night time! lol!
Hey guys! I only have a couple of minutes to type before I fall asleep on the keys. I’m so tired and it’s like 11 o’ clock at night here so it’s kinda dark which makes it a lot harder to stat awake.
We had dinner downstairs in a private room thing. We all had a great time and I laughed the entire time. It was so great. I have to admit that I didn’t like the food that much though. It was nasty.
OMG! Lexie was adorable. She was walking around giving everybody chigas (kisses in Chinese) and blowing kisses. She was talking on the phone- sort of, it was more like “Ba bo ba bo ba!!” She was so cute and for some reason she really attached on to my 2nd cousin (I think she’s my second cousin…) Brianna A LOT! When it was time for them to leave Lexie started balling when she was torn away from Brianna. Brianna was crying too. It was really sad.
When we were going back to the hotel room we were running w/ Lexie in the halls. She had thankfully dismissed the separation after a while and was soon laughing again with mom. This is when the accident happened. My mom was running to Lexie , who was infront of my dad and my dad was running behind Lexie. I was leaning against the wall watching them. Mom and Dad were both completely focused on Lexie and hardly noticed eachother running towards her or behind her. I was thinking as they were running towards eachother, “Are they really going to hit? They couldn’t, could they? Why don’t they see each other?” Then BOOM! They crashed heads and they were both in loads of pain w/ Chi Chi laughing beneath them. It was awful. The accident led to a large bruise on both of my parents head. However painful, it was hilarious and I was trying so hard not to laugh.
Before Lexie went to bed, we were playing a game. I was running behind the curtains and she would chase me laughing and screaming trying to find me. She was having so much fun in the curtains and I wish we had some like that at home. It was histerical. She is so funny you guys and I love her but sometimes I want to hit her-lol!! That’s sisters for ya! I can’t wait till I see my family and my house tomorrow! I can’t wait! AH!
Goodnight everybody! I miss you!

In LA! I'll be home tomorrow!
Hey everybody! We landed in LA like a couple of hours ago! The flight here wasn’t as bad as I expected. Lexie had a hard time going to sleep because usually she rolls around during the night and she couldn’t really do that on the airplane so she kept screaming and crying. Overall she did good though and she wasn’t a huge pain. I watched like 2 movies on the plane. They have tons. It was awesome in first class! The chairs turn into beds and it’s awesome! It was a good trip and I’m so glad I’m here. My Aunt Patty and Uncle Jim met us at the airport and they were so excited. It was a little over whelming!-lol! Kim and Brianna and Tiffany and Joey met us at the hotel where we’re staying at. We’re having dinner downstairs in a couple of minutes and I have to get ready. I’ll type tonight if I have time. I miss ya’ll so much and I’m flying for Atlanta tomorrow! AHHH! I get to sleep in my own bed-lol!!!
In Hong Kong- 1 step closer! Ahh!!
Hey guys! I’m in Hong Kong! It’s a 4 hour lay over here before we get on the plane to go to LA! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to show you guys the stuff I bought for you! I don’t know if everyone will like it, but you can’t loose it or anything!!! Lexie keeps pooping for some reason and we’ve changed her diaper like 4 times, it’s so nasty. Right now we’re playing on the floor and Lexie’s looking out of the window at all of the planes. It’s so cute. I can’t wait to see you guys and I miss everybody!
Hey Jennie! If you’re reading this, I wish I could see you too!!!
Hey Jennie! If you’re reading this, I wish I could see you too!!!
OMG! My last day in China! I'm so sad!!
Hey guys! It's my last night in China and I can't believe it! I'm so sad! I'll tell you all about today because it was really great and I know that Ashley will be happy after she reads this- lol! You'll see!!
Ok, today we got up bright and early to go to a Chinese school. The kids were practicing their English with us. They had the craziest names that they got to choose, Lisa, John, and even Spider. We asked him why that was his name and he said because of Spiderman. I thought of Anthony Papa! I called him Spiderman the whole way around the school. When I was in second and third grade I used to be obsessed with this cartoon show called DragonBallZ- which Spiderman liked! How crazy is that! We became friends.. lol! They had a huge school with lots of plants and even a ZOO on the top... well not a real zoo- but they did have tons of doves, a goat, an ostrich type thing, and even a monkey! It was hilarious.
When we first arrived there we had to tell the kids where we were from and stuff. Our job was to entertain them. For some reason my mom had told a lady that I could sing so Lynn blurted out," Tori should sing for us." It was awful. I had no idea that my mom had told her and I was put on the spot. I couldn't say no now. It was horrible. But I figured that I wouldn't see any of the kids ever again so I did it and it was fine. They cheered for me afterwards so I felt better about it. Then later the music teacher dragged me into her 2nd grade music classroom and I had to sing for them to. It was no big deal but it was really surprising and a weird experience.
Chi Chi loved all of the kids at the school and wouldn't sit still. She was being crazy. I figured out that Lexie thinks it's funny or something when people mess up. If I fall or if she drops something she cracks up. She also still likes to hit me. I know you're happy Ari- lol!
After the school we went back to the hotel for a nap. Lexie was being so cute! She was having lots of fun dancing and singing with me. It was very funny. She was having so much fun.
Oh! I don't know if I mentioned this but last night I was spraying Chi Chi w/ the water sprayer thing and she was cracking up. I mean, she would run away screaming and laughing after I sprayed her and then coming back for more. It was hilarious. I have to show ya'll. Ya'll are gonna love her.
After her nap we did this really important trip (although I don't know WHY it's so important) but we got her visa done. Oh!- never mind, I know why it's important. DUH! She's becoming an American citizen. Brain fart! Ah! Anyway, we had to go to the US embassy and it was a long wait before we had to take this oath thing that all of the information that we gave them was correct. They had a big play area with a sea saw thing, so Lexie was happy.
After that, we went out to dinner with 2 other families.. the 2 families that we had already gone out to dinner w/. By the way... the family that we went out to dinner w/ a while ago, their last name is Chang... I think I made that up or something, idk. Anyway, we had a really fun time and I can't wait to see them again and I hope it's soon.
Before I stop typing I just want to say that my trip in China, however stressful and uneventful as it sounds, was really a great experience. I learned so much more stuff than I could have EVER learned in 2 weeks of school. I mean, who learns anything useful out of a text book! We'll never use the information that we are given in any of the subjects again. But to experience a culture and to really get your hands dirty and to be enveloped in new customs and languages is so much different- you know!! I'm so glad that I went even if I have to do SO much homework!
I'm really not looking forward to the flight tomorrow from Hong Kong to LA. It's 11 hours and I'm scared how Chi Chi will manage sitting down that long. We have 1st class- and not business class- on the flight so it will be a lot better! I'll type on the blog when I get to Hong Kong and tomorrow morning! I miss ya'll so much and I'm so excited to get home.
Oh.. I don't know if I mentioned this but I'm staying a night in LA to have Thanksgiving with some of my family that lives there! It should be lots of fun! I can't wait to see ya'll!
