I am finally back in Mississippi after a few delays. I tried leaving Salt Lake on Wednesday as scheduled but apparently Delta has no planes that actually work. I sat on a plane for 30 minutes and then the pilot came on and told us we needed to get off becuase of mechanical errors. So we get off wait for 15 minutes and then they get us on another plane. I sit on that plane for 30 minutes and then, guess what, more mechanical errors! So I had to get off that plane and see what was going to happen. I have now missed all connecting flights into Mississippi and I was very frustrated. The gate attendant was no where to be found for our third attempt and the pilot went and looked for them. When the gate attendant came all he said was how he wasn't supposed to be working yet and he didn't want to be there. I ask him how I am going to get to Mississippi and he just says "I don't know I can't help you. You can go and find a help phone." Really?! Salt Lake is a Delta hub, and your own workers can't help me? I find a help phone and the guy wants to charge me $780 to change my ticket. So I lost it. I started crying, yelled at the guy on the phone, got some great looks from people, and pretty much freaked out. After going through the ordeal that I had been through with the guy on the phone he didn't charge me and booked me on the next flight first thing Thursday morning.
I called my dad to come get me, still crying. It had been a long day and I just wanted to see David! I talked to David and cried again, not my best 5 hours I must say. I was quite emotional.
But then, my flights worked out and I got home on Thursday night! David was teasing me when I got home about crying and wanting to come "home." You see, I had a complete melt down before we moved to Mississippi. I was so scared and didn't want to come. I wanted too because that is where David was going to be but I have never been away from my family. So he laughed saying "Isn't it funny that you cried about moving here but then you cried because you wanted to come back here?" It is funny but now I know that the saying "Home Is Where Your Heart Is" is so true. I am so happy to be back home with David. I know this is where I belong. I am grateful I had the chance to visit my family but coming home was great!

How funny about wanting to go back to Mississippi. I know that feeling the funny thing is I love it here there is so much to do but I really miss my friends I wish you could be here then I would have it made. I hope the rest of your trip was good. I really, really, really miss hanging out with you.

It was so much fun to have you here! Thanks for letting me tease you and always riding in the backseat. I love you!
i never thought you would make it moving so far away from all of us...but look at you, you're all grown up!! :)
So sorry! There is nothing worse than airport issues. Glad you made it home.
