Home Sweet Home!

Home at last! We had a great flight. We got up at 4:30am and left for the airport at 5:30. Going through security, the machine did not like Larry's backpack. They went through it with a fine tooth comb and then let him so. We were all watching and laughing. Once settled on the plane they served us an interesting breakfast. Ok, let's see...airplane food....means it's all pre-made and warmed in a microwave type thing. How fresh do you think the eggs were that they served? Let me give you a mental picture. You know those cinnamon rolls that you get in a wrapper at a convenience store...the ones that the layers of the roll are very flat and the layers roll in a circle like a sleeping bag. That's what the eggs were like. I was raised around chicken houses and I've cooked many many eggs, but never have I seen eggs that make a spiral circle. Much to my surprise, they were not too bad. Now the rest of the stuff they served was not worth mentioning. We picked at our plates a little then we popped our PM pills and off to dream land we went. Larry was drained from working such long hours and of course getting up as early as we did we were both still sleepy. Put that all together with Mr. PM pill and we were OUT! We arrived in Chicago and made our way through customs. At Ohare, they are not quiet as fast or as organized as other airport customs. We were slightly rushed to make our connecting flight. We arrived at the gate and guess what....no plane. The plane was delayed about 30 min. which is not bad but we rushed for no reason. We took off once again and landed in Kansas City. I sent a text to my brother letting him know we arrived in the US. He responded, "Welcome to our Country". I replied Thank You in German. HA! I called Momma to let her know we had landed safe and sound. (If you have read my previous blogs you will know what's about to come out of her mouth.) She asked, "Do you have your luggage? Did it get lost?" At that time I was waiting on it but yes, we got our luggage. We were starving and decided to stop at Cracker Barrell which we love and it's close to the airport. Next stop...to get Princess Molly from her Nana's house. Oh she was so excited to see her Mommy and Daddy. She licked my face giving me sugars. She jumped and ran around. Her Nana taught her some new tricks and she had to show off. I sure did miss her!

We are now home. With so much to do the next few days, I pushed Larry and we got out bags unpacked. He is normally ready to do whatever needs to be done but not so much today. I gave him and energy drink and told him we have to push through. We did it, all bags are empty.

I enjoyed writing about my days in Germany. They may have bored some of you to tears but hey, it's my blog. Ha! It was a great way to record and remember the trip. I've gotten emails from family and friends that have been keeping up with us. It's great to know that you guys want to know what's going on with us. Now that we are home, the topics will change. After graduation is over I'll go back to some subjects that I mentioned in earlier blogs like, My Georgia Accent!

Larry is already TTU and snoring and I'm ready to join him. I know you are wondering what TTU is....Ten Toes Up! We have lots of those. Hmm, now that I'm home maybe we should continue the word of the day. Between Military terms, Georgia terms and Missouri terms...it could get interesting. We'll see.

Good to be back in the states!
