Journey Home

As I previously stated I just got back from a trip to my home state of New Jersey. I like to go up once or twice a year to visit my friends. The trip itself was great. I got to spend time with all of my favorite friends and even got a new tattoo (pictures soon to come). The journey back home however was not so great. I bought two plane tickets and was told to arrive at the airport two hours before my flight was to take off. My flight departing from JFK airport in New York was scheduled to leave at 9:50 last night however, as my luck would have it, the flight was delayed. Not one, not two, but three hours. Now, I had already arrived two hours early therefore my total time spent in the airport was five long dreadful hours. The children screaming and the crowds of people it was horrible!!! My flight finally departed at 12:45 and arrived in Charlotte, NC at 2:30 a.m. At this point I was so ready to be with Tanner and see his face that as you can imagine I wasn't in the greatest of moods. After seeing my husband’s beautiful face and giving him a long dramatic kiss as though I hadn't seen him all year as oppose to four days we headed towards our car. This puts us traveling home at 3 a.m. At 4:30 a.m. we were just thirty minutes from home when what should happen??? A flat tire that is what! Tanner, being a very handy man, got out and changed the tire. You would think the story ends here and we headed home, right? Wrong! The spare tire was flat and no one would pick up a phone. Finally, we were able to get a hold of my uncle and my parents. Both my Uncle Albert and my Manny arrived to help us at around 7 in the morning. This put Tanner and I arriving at our house at 8 a.m. exactly 12 hours from the time I arrived at the airport. Coincidently, exactly the amount of time it takes to drive to my house from New Jersey!!!!
