My Stay In Long Island part 1.

Sorry I'm just now getting to posting about my stay in NY, when I'll be leaving soon. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to actually sit down and write about it until now.

I am currently residing in Long Island, with my host mom and her girls: Mia, Nicki, Sam, Molly and KIRSTEN!! It was so exciting meeting another Kirsten. The Kirsten here looks SO different from me, but the same also! She is shorter than I am too. Here is a close up of our faces, next to eachother:




ok so anyways... I was delivered to my current abode on March 11. The delivery dude dropped me on the doorstep and split. So I was just laying there in my box for HOURS!! I was really bored and anxious which is not a great combination! But finally I heard a car pull up nearby, with a car slam, and footsteps... then I was lifted and carried away. I felt myself going upstairs and towards many little excited voices. I was finally placed down and could feel myself being surrounded by other dolls who were just as anxious to meet me, as I was to meet them.




I heard tape being ripped and some light creeping in




And finally...




*(my eyes are closed 'cause, honestly I was a little nervous/scared, athough I am getting much more used to this whole thing, you never know what to expect in a new home!)

We were all so excited to meet each other!

We sat around in a circle telling stories. I was the only traveling girl in the bunch!!

It was really cool to share stories. I love all of these new dolls, they are are all really nice and we all got along right away!




It was pretty late outside already and we were all getting tired, so it was time for a bath and to get ready for bed.




Kirsten and I put on matching PJS!! it was fun! We had a mini-slumber party. She was soooo excited because she never met another Kirsten before!




SO, that was my first night in my new home!!!

I really like it here. OH and I also met a cat named Jacs, who reminds me a little bit of Charlotte back home, and I was a little home sick, I miss Missy and Grandlinda, and everyone else back at home! But I am glad that I get to travel and know it's a great opportunity for me! As I can see from all the places I have been, very few dolls are as lucky to travel as I am!!


I have so much more to tell you about (I spend the day pretend working at Bloomingdale's, and 4 days in florida!!), but I will save those stories for a little bit later!!

10 Facts

I saw this on Wendy's blog and thought it looked neat. Plus I have a little bit of time before I find out what we're doing today :)

1) Full name: Kirsten Mary Larson

2) School: Star Valley Elementary (I also went to Pleasantburg Academy a bit when Missy was in college-it was at her dorm...and before she got me, I went to Powderkeg School).

3) Country: USA

4) Favorite subject: geography & history

5) Favorite hobby: making crafts and traveling (of course!)

6) Best friend: Jessica McConnell, Hallie Halliwell Kaya Atonmy and Samantha J. Parkington (Kaya, Sam and I-along with BB Hannah-stayed at Missy's college with her the year she got us; Sam is one of grandlinda's dolls. Hallie and I spent time at Missy's college, too-and Pleasantburg Academy, the dollie boarding school there-along with some others. And Jess and I live together in Star Valley, a small doll town). I hope that all makes sense.

7) Secret: I can't tell you-it's a secret!

8) Worst Enemy: Hmmm...I'm not sure. Rosalind and Nikki seem bullyish/snobby so probably them...

9) Fave Blog: I can't choose-they're all awesome ;)

10) Our person: Missy-she and Susie are the most alike in personality (but not favorites); she and Mischa look the most alike...I dunno...she likes film, theatre, making crafts, photography...I was her 3rd AG-yay!

If you want to fill this out, feel free :)

IMPORTANT

I changed the address of this blog from kirstentravel to travelingkirsten.blogspot.com, so please make that change in your links/favorite sites sections of your blogs :) I accidentally had left out the blogspot part, one time, when typing my blog address in and turns out there's some site with the link kirstentravel.com so I thought making a change would be good. travelingkirsten sounds better, too.

Thanks everyone!

In New York!

Hey guys!

I know, I know-I forgot to post-again. I swear, I need a laptop for the next round of travels I do (this round ends in summer and then I'll take a break for awhile but may travel again next year or something-it's fun!)

Anyhoo. Colorado was fun. After exploring the new house, we visited Boulder Canyon and Estes Park. It was so fun! Also, I got to meet a traveling American boy-Traveling JD! That was really neat.

Here are a few pics:

Currently I'm in NY with agfan84 and having a blast! We even spent a few days in FL although the pool water was too cold. It was still fun to sit by the pool. I also got to see agfan84's work and "dressed for success" myself, lol. I'll have a blog entry about my NY adventures, complete with photos, posted soon, I promise ;) I can't believe my time here is almost over-wow time sure flies when you're having fun! And I'll try not to neglect this blog so much. How many people look at this? I should get it posted in my section on Traveling Doll Boards, hehe.
