I'm home

Made it home Saturday around 6:30 (both of my flights got in early!)* and hit the ground running.  My parents and Tim met me at the airport and we went straight to dinner.  My parents actually agreed to go to a  sushi place.  I was shocked!  They tried a piece each but hated it so it was chicken/beef teriyaki for them but I thoroughly enjoyed my sushi.  Next it was off to Lisa and Brad's to watch the olympics with them and their neighbors and enjoy beers from around the world.  I was all dressed in my airplane clothes, no make-up and dog tired but Brad assured us no matter what I look like I'm always prettier than Tim...nice to have such great friends.  It was around mid-night before I made it home.  

Sunday, Tim and I went to our favorite brunch place and then I had a sorority alumnae association officer's meeting so it was another busy day.  It was nice to see all of the ladies though.  Afterwards I hung out with Jen and we just caught up.  She and I both kind of laughed at the end because really not too much has happened since I left.

Already have plans with Amber and Stephanie for my Chuy's fix and Ginny has insisted Rounder stay with the grandparent's so we can hang out at their place this Friday.  It really is nice seeing everyone but I have to admit I miss Antigua.  I cried in the shuttle as I was leaving.  It was a rushed departure because the shuttle came early.  That was good because I don't do well with good-byes but then I felt silly crying on the bus.

My shower was great when I got back and I never knew how much I appreciated brushing my teeth with running water

Even with missing Antigua, I still can't wait to see everyone because I have missed all of you tremendously and want to say thanks for all the emails while I was gone.  

*That was the only good thing about my flights.  The first flight was three hours and I sat next to a mine that had just finished witnessing in Guatemala for the past week and didn't know how to turn it off.  After a LONG while I told him I was Methodist thinking he would  leave me alone since he didn't need to save my soul but oh no.  He then wanted to talk more and more and more.  My ears were ringing by the time we landed.  The second flight a lady took my window seat.  When I showed her my ticket she told me she got their first.  WHAT???It doesn't work that way but I just gave in because it was an hour flight and I just wanted to get home but I did think "Wow, welcome back to the USA".
