Sorry I haven't posted about our trip!
It was incredible. I was so sad to leave my Issa, but she was so excited to see her Nana, that it was all fine. Sally and Issa and I headed to Marta on Thursday afternoon.
I rode Marta to Jake's office and met him inside the Marta station.
We rode to Airport and flew out - got there around 8 SLC time. We had a blast! Saw so many movies, Jake did tons of skiing, it was incredible. We ate great food with lots of fun friends. The last night, we ate at the cutest bistro with 15 in our party! It was so fun.
So: getting home... with the rest of the Sundance crowd...
Our flight was to leave at 10 AM.
We left Tom’s house at 835ish?
Got there around 9. Awful. After 30 minutes to check in and 40 for security, we missed the plane by 1 minute. Literally. It was awful. I was so hormonal and crying – BOOHOOING – b/c I wanted to get home so bad to see Iss.
ALL FLIGHTS TO ATLANTA WERE BOOKED THE REST OF THE DAY. BOOKED!
Even the red-eye that left at 11:45 PM. So we tried standby for the 11:50 AM flight – and were bumped to #42 on the standby list b/c of Medallion members and first class members. So I cried more. And even more. Jake sent me to the bathroom b/c I was making a scene. He finally calls Delta and is like, “Get me to “Bham, Knoxville – any southern city” – b/c the next flight available to ATL was at 6AM on Monday morning. And I’d have to call in SICK AGAIN on Monday. Not good. So she says there’s a flight from SLC to Omaha (ever been there?) to Atlanta to Bham – “wait – where’s your final destination?” We were like- “book it.” We wouldn’t get back on the one to Bham and be okay. So after all day of terrible-ness, we finally get home at TEN pm.
I missed seeing Issa, and literally had to jump in running to the work week. It was crazy. No time to do laundry or anything, and I was playing catch-up every day this week.
This past weekend was nice too - just a relaxing one to enjoy together. I had a friend in town from Charlotte, who has an almost-two-year-old. He and Issa had a ball playing together!
Have a great week; pictures later,

Mandy,
Sometimes we don't understand why God put us in certain situations. He has his reasons, and we must praise him during the good times, as well as the bad times.
If you not had a chance to watch "Facing the Giants", you should. The movie was made by a church in Georgia. It is an awesome movie about a coach who turned a loosing football team to a winning team. He trusted God to lead him in all areas of his life, including the fact that he couldn't have children. What touched me the most about the movie is when he asked his wife, "Will you still love God, even if He does not give us kids?"
Hope your pregnancy is going well.
Welcome back! Where are the pictures? I bet you are so happy to be back with your daughter. I'm sure you squeezed her to pieces. So sorry about missing your flight. I hate air travel. Coming home from ours was so bad that it makes you almost regret going. We fly less and less.....
Looking forward to seeing your photos. Glad to hear your trip went well...minus the airport fiasco. I can certainly understand your frustration in that situation...hormones or not!
