Home Sweet Home :)

After quite the adventurous weekend, I am back in Virginia. Here is a re-cap of my weekend.

Wednesday night I was about to drive myself crazy trying to get out of work. I am a very obsessive compulsive packer and yet, I had not started the packing process by the time Wednesday rolled around. Thankfully, my awesome husband threw my clothes in the dryer and then folded them for me so all I really had to do was put them in my duffle bag. We got to bed around 10 and I set my alarm for 2 am.

Thursday morning I woke up to the sound of my dog chewing on his own foot. I tried to shoosh him but he would not stop. Sleep officially ended at that point. I got up at 2, got dressed and headed into Charlottesville, VA. It's about 30 minutes from my house. Paul's little sister Randi works for the airline I was flying with and she had to be at work at 4:30 so I drove to her house, left my car there for the weekend and drove to the airport with her. We arrived at the airport to 1st find out that my plane had not arrived and then 2nd to find out my flight was cancelled. BIG BUMMER!!!! Long frustrating story made a weeeee bit shorter, I ended up being Taxied from the Charlottesville,VA airport to the Richmond, VA airport. My entire ride to Richmond, I was texting Paul telling him I was not going to make it.... and he kept responding telling me I had plenty of time to make a 7 am flight. Yes, I have always struggled with having enough Faith! Our cab arrived at the airport at 6:42 am. I jumped out of the cab with my bad and booked it to security. Of course, I get stuck behind the ONE man (VERY questionalble looking I will add without saying he looked like a terrorist... shoot... oh well, I'm honest) who is trying to get a thermus of coffee through security. Guess what happens when you do that??? They have to test the liquid. Lucky for me they were quick about it. I was a nervous wreck! In the process of trying to get through security, 2 piolets and 2 flight attendants tried cutting in front of me. They very quickly were informed... by me... that I had a flight leaving in 10 minutes. They very quickly stepped aside and I made it through security. I went running across the Richmond airport with my blue jeans rolled up around my cowboy boots. I looked so stupid! I got to the gate right as the woman was getting ready to shut the door. She allowed me to board :) I go to my seat and we sat there. Several minutes later guess who arrived on my plane??? That's right, the questionable looking man. Coffee in hand! They held the plane for him. Better yet, he had the seat right next to me. And even BETTER.... he smelled like sweat and curry. It was horrible. The smell made me so sick! I made it to Charlotte, NC where I had a 2 1/2 hr layover. I landed in St. Louis a little before 1 pm.

Dad picked me up from the airport and we had a late lunch and ran some erronds. He bought me a new MIZZOU sweatshirt and winter hat and Paul a new MIZZOU ball cap. It was very nice of him!

Later Thursday I got to my moms, we went out for Italian and then went back to her house and just chatted. It was so nice! By the time I went to bed at 9, I was exhausted to say the least!

Friday we went grocery shopping, went to McDonalds to see the old men and the John and Meghan came to see me. We all went to Hannibal to run some erronds and I made chicken enchiladas for dinner. Grandma Becky had dinner with us and I really enjoyed our visit. I had a great time meeting John's girlfriend. She's so cute!

Saturday, Mom and I drove to St. Louis. She has a fish tha thas been sick for quite a while. I took her to Tropical World (my favorite Fish store). The told her they believe her fish is more stressed then sick. So, she bought a schooling fish so the bigger fish have something else to focus on instead of just this one poor fish. I also decided what I want to buy 1 puffer fish for my tank instead of getting multiple fish! I'm very excited at the though of finally getting my tank set up in the nearer future!

Saturday afternoon we went to the Apple Butter Festival in Kimswick, MO. We spend a few hrs looking at the different booths and ate some great food. We then went and checked into our hotel and went to the mall and then Red Robin for dinner. It was the perfect day and the perfect weekend.

I got hom at 2:40 this afternoon. Paul was able to pick me up and take me to get my car from his parents house. He had to work a concert tonight but I was able to see him for a couple hours before he had a to leave. I am really glad to get home and back in my own bed! I missed my husband and my puppy!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!
