We made it! We are back in the great state of California! The fight went great. It started off rough, I somehow managed to lose my cell phone soon as we checked in. I had to do some rearranging with our baggage and checking the car seat and I guess, I decided to check my phone as well. I remember I had gotten 3 text messages back to back, so I got out my phone to silence the ring and that was the last time I saw it. I noticed as soon as we walked off, but after looking everywhere it was no where to be found. Later on as we were waiting to board I heard my name being called over the loud speaker to come to the gate. There was a guy from the loading crew asking if that was my phone. He had called the last person I called, which was my sister, to find out whose phone it was. Phew, good thing I have a 1980's phone, no one was interested in pocketing it!
Then we were an hour delayed. They were supposedly waiting for the clean up crew to come clean the plane before we could board, so we got pushed back and hour. And since we flew American, we could not check in early and pick our seats. Reagan and I were (since this was her very first flight having her own seat) and Darrin was on another row. We decided once we got there to just pay an extra $29 dollars to move his seat to the front of the plane so someone would be happier about switching us. However, the idiot (for better/nicer way of wording it) did NOT want to switch with us! He was flying alone, and wanted to sit with me and a 2 year old? Ridiculous. So after he turned us down, Darrin continued to think about it and decided to ask him again to switch. Luckily, the guy changed his mind and allowed us to sit together, otherwise I would have been pissed! But the flight went great, Reagan slept the last hour and we made up for 30 minutes of the delayed time.
And the best part about it was getting out of the airport and feeling the cool temperature! I could have worn a light jacket it was so great, much different from the hot Texas heat!
We had such a wonderful time being home with everyone. Thank you so much Nonna, Paw Paw, Honey, Dustin and Tricia for all your help over the last several weeks. I appreciate all the home-cooked dinners and dinners out, all the times I was able to leave Reagan with one of you and have some alone/girl time, all the entertaining you guys did while I did nothing and just having the company.
Can't wait for Christmas to do it again! Love and miss you guys!
