Just Windy

Wow I feel like I've been away for so long. So I went to Chicago last Wed for work. What a fiasco getting to the airport. How is that they can run out of parking? How does that happen? After talking to some co-workers it seems more common that I you would think. I don't know about you but if I were in charge of the airport I would maybe consider adding more parking... come on people. So they redirected me to park at the Humphrey terminal saying it's only 5 minutes away. But what they don't tell you is that you have to walk about a mile and sweat your ass off which adds about 20-30 minutes to your parking time. Not a good way to start my trip. Then my flight was delayed about an hour "due to wind in Chicago"... ummm aren't they known as "The Windy City"??? Shouldn't they be a little more used to wind? Anyway I did finally make it to my hotel after about an hour and half in the back of an airport shuttle that threw my neck out of line... it actually hurt until Friday morning.

So I'll spare you all the details of my trip, but I did survive the MidWest earthquake on Friday morning... it was the craziest thing. I woke up around 4:30 rocking back and forth in my bed. Since my flight was delayed due to wind, I just assumed it was really windy out... I was on the 24th floor so what else could it have been. I went back to sleep and thought nothing of it. That is until I turned the tv on in the morning and it was all over that there was an 5.2 earthquake in Southern Illinois... HOLY CRAP I thought... that wasn't wind, it was a frickin earthquake. How unreal?

So it was great to get away, but boy did I miss Sami. When I walked into my house on Sunday and Sami came running around the corner, all I could do was cry and pick her up and hold her and tell her how much I missed her and loved her. I just sat down and held her and looked at her. She is truly the most amazing little girl. Her smile makes my heart glow and I love her so much. I don't think I will ever take that much time away from her until she gets older.
