A Worthwhile Journey

Just a recap on my recent adventure at the Minneapolis airport. I was supposed to leave for SLC at 9:40 last Saturday night.... Long story short but they delayed my flight 4 times because of freezing rain and I didn't go out until 10:45 a.m. on Sunday. I had to sleep at the airport even though my house is only 15 minutes away because they shut down all the freeways. Luckily, I made a friend from my flight, Kendall, who is also pregnant and due within days of me. We had quite the night and saw two mice (one at McDonalds and one when we were trying to sleep). It was GROSS! Here's a picture of us camping out at the airport.

We both learned that being nearly 7 months pregnant and camping at the airport is NOT fun. I think I'm still recovering...

Now these are all reasons to be upset at the airline, weather, airport, etc. But you want to know what upsets me the most? No Cafe Rio!!! I made my Dad go buy me a salad in preparation for my arrival and he had to put it in the fridge. I was so sad about no Cafe Rio that night, I nearly cried.

But 14 hours later, I came home to find my favorite things:

Cafe Rio Salad from my Dad

Hot waterbottle from my Mom

My Dad's famous meatloaf dinner

and, of course, FAMILY!

It is so nice to finally be home! I guess my long journey was well worth it :)  Now I'm just praying that Don will get here without problems tomorrow night. The blizzard is supposed to blow through Minneapolis tomorrow .... I hope he doesn't get stuck in the airport with my nasty mouse friends.
