On the Road...Again: I'm Home!!!

Hi Friends!

I have been itching to blog over the last few days and it has been a little on the difficult side. It all started with my BFF Garrett getting hurt during the Formula Xtreme race on Saturday. I wanted to be with him in the hospital and stayed there until 1 am when he was moved into the ICU. Knowing he was doing ok was great because he is so amazing! Love you G-Money!

Now my travels got a little complicated when I started to trek home. I left my hotel to drive to Columbus at 7 am EST and made it through my door at 3 am PDT (6am EDT). Lets see if I can explain it without boring you...my flight to Chicago was delayed because of weather in the windy city and didn't board my 10am flight till 11am. Things were still looking good at this point until we sat on the ground for an hour and a half and eventually we went back to the gate for another 30 minutes.

I got into Chicago around 2pm CDT, about 4 hours late. My connection had already left without me (yes...you can shed a tear now) and I got rebooked for 6:50 flight and standby for a 4:40 flight. Everything was being delayed and I didn't make the standby. My 6:50 flight was cancelled. The announcments told us to go to the basement because of the tornado warnings in the area. I couldn't believe the day I was having. I went on the standby list for a flight to LAX and MADE IT! I did a little dance when my name got called. We got on to the plane, waited for another storm to pass, and I made it home around 2 am. My loving dad picked me up and I walked in my door at 3 am.

I left out a lot of details but that was most of my fun times at the Chicago airport. Now I am going out again in Thursday. I'm staying clear of Chicago for the next three trips so I'm really happy about that.

Below are a few pics from the weekend. Hope its not so long in between posts next time. Leave a comment...or two if you have time.
