It's Been A While!

So last Friday (the 15th) I left for a long weekend.  It was my grandpa's 90th birthday and I flew home to surprise him and the rest of my family.  Actually my mom flew me out there to surprise him!  I got in at 1:20 after a short delay and my mom and Jenny picked me up at the airport and we were off on our (almost) 3 hour drive to my mom's.  We got in town at 4:30 am and drove straight to my grandpa's house and the lights were on so we stopped and surprised everyone!  They were all up early b/c my brother had to work early that morning and they were sitting around the table drinking coffee.  Good thing I brought donuts!  I think my grandpa was very surprised, along with my brother! 

Here I am with the birthday boy!  We went out to dinner with the whole family to celebrate! 

The morning I left I woke up not feeling too well and ended up going to convenient care that day and getting 4 medications for a sinus infection!  Didn't start out too well! 

 Here is my family!  Dad, Kathy, Grampy, Me, my brother's fiance Randi, Mark, and Zaine.  I fell in love with that little boy! He was so cute and became my little buddy while I was there!

I am so glad I got to go and see everyone.  I hadn't seen my cousins in 10 years.  Hopefully it won't be that long again!

I came home on Tuesday and it was not a good day for flying.  So Cal was having a lot of bad storms and it delayed my flights and I got stuck in Vegas for 2 hours b/c of lightening and when we did finally take off the flight attendants weren't allowed to get out of their seats and it was a rough flight.  I was terrified that night and then the pilot came on and said, "Well folks, sorry we aren't able to serve you drinks tonight and you are unable to move about the cabin but for your safety we ask that you remain in your seats with your seat belts pulled tight. It's going to take us a little longer than expected due to severe weather. It just isn't a good night for flying."  Really!?!?!?!  Did you have to say that out loud?  I was so scared all the way.  The poor girls that sat next to me really wish they hadn't.
