I'm home!!!!

So yesterday was one of the longest days of my life.

I woke up at 3:30 am to get ready to go to the airport in Hannover. I was already tired. Good start, right? ;) We (Alwina, Wilhelm, and I) left the house a little after 4 am, and arrived at the airport at about 5:30. I checked my bag (only 21.3 kg, thank you very much) and ate a little breakfast. At 6:00 am, I went through security, which is always a fun adventure. Got patted down to check if I was carrying my glock. Which, of course, I left at home. haha The flight boarded on time and took off on time - yesss. Got into Brussels at 8:15 am. Rushed around to change my euros into USD and get my boarding pass in time to board the plane. Except...the plane, which was supposed to take off at 10 am, did not take off until 4 pm. That's right. It was delayed for SIX WHOLE hours!!!!! Argh! Long story short, my bag got lost (as in, never left Europe) and I had to rebook my flight from Newark to Tampa (which was supposed to get in to Tampa at 5:30 pm, but ended up getting in at 11 pm). When I got off the plane, I was exhausted. But it was good to see Hannah, Amy, Dakota, and my mom who had waited for me at the airport for 6 hours!!!! They had made a sign to welcome me, Hannah had made snickerdoodles, and Dakota had made her 7-layer dip and brought chips. Soooo good :)
We got back to Hannah's house and dropped off the girls. I saw Hannah's new apartment (so cute!) and Mom and I drove home. It's so good to be home. Let me tell you!

I went to sleep at 1:30 am, and got up this morning at 7:30 am with no alarm. Ugh. So mom and I had breakfast together (American pancakes and scrambled eggs....soooo lecker!) Then I reactivated my phone, and now I'm updating you on my life whilst Skyping this raven beauty and her gorgeous mother :)

More later from the American girl back in her native land (finally!) <3

PS: Got your cookies. Tastyyyy!

PSS: Get on Skype, foo! :)

Fellow ck-er: Why aren't you in the US yet? Seriously!!!
