This weekend my parents asked us (my family) to all lunch together. Which is weird, because we never do that. But I also thought: Why not? Family time! So we started talking about all kinds of stuff, we ate and it was very nice. It was... until my father changed the subject.
He told us about this amazing new job he found and that it was a great opportunity for him. I was really happy for him, but then he said we had to move to Houston, America.
You know what they always have in movies. The slow motion moments. Well... I didn't think they existed until this moment. When I heard we are going to move to America, everything stopped and it became silent in my head. My stomach made a flipflap and I grabbed for my sunglasses to not show my tears. Couldn't find them.
And do you want to know why I felt so bad? Because my life was perfect! Perfect house, popular at school, high hockey-team etc. Everything was perfect and felt perfect. It didn't have to change and I didn't want it to change.
After this I looked at the situation from an other view. Being an American girl is awesome right?
