My recount of a memorbale moment

Moving to New Zealand

AHHHHHHH! I hear my sister screaming, my head is spinning. “Huh?” Is all I could say.

I hear my dad yelling my name, I thought, what does he want as I sat on my bed up on the top floor in my bedroom. “ What do you want?” I yelled down the stairs. “Please come down into the office,” my dad yelled back up the stairs. “ Why?” I yelled back. “ Just get down here,” he yelled in a tone  I knew very well and I knew that it was serious. So, I came down from my room wondering what the heck he wanted.

When I reached the office I put my ear to the office door. I suddenly jerked back when I heard my dad say “ Come in Maggie.” I open the door slowly. I remember walking into the office and sitting down on my dad’s lap and asking my dad why he wanted my sis and I. “I want to talk to you about something.” “ lets go into the living room,” my mother suggested.

When we had all comfortably settled down my dad finally spoke, “So, did you guys want to move to New Zealand?” AHHHHHHH! I heard my sister screaming, my head was spinning. I felt like a fish above water so clueless on what is going on, lightheaded, like I could breathe no longer.

“So, do you think a family vote will be fair?” My dad asked. In different ways we all said absolutely. We had a family vote and we all voted yes, and then I asked my dad what about all my friends how would I contact them? Would I be home schooled? I asked my dad these questions and  lots more.

And after all of last year and the start of this year I still don’t regret moving here. I really enjoy it here. Even though it was a big change I really love it here. And even though I miss home and all my friends and family there, I absolutely love it here too.
