I'm doing much better at remembering my blog. Since we last spoke I was anticipating my birthday in STL and the flights that came with it. I did fairly well! I made it on time (barely), I wasn't frisked by the TSA (even though they made me take off my shoes...gross), I didn't have a panic attack (even though I was sweating like a man the whole flight), and we landed in STL 20 minutes early! My grandparents picked me up at the airport and on the way home told me that they had made a special spaghetti dinner for Kayla and I.
Little did I know that my mom and brother had driven to STL that morning and were waiting at the house for us! When I walked in I was shocked and excited and every other emotion a person can feel at once. And then I cried like a 2 year old for the next 20 minutes. But it was the perfect birthday surprise and I had NO clue! We ate dinner and then my granddad drove us through Tillis Park, which is a local park that I have been too so many times absolutely covered in Christmas lights (over 1.5 million to be exact!)
The next day we got to go shopping and to lunch at my favorite restaurant. It was rainy this day but not too cold just yet. By dinner the wind had picked up so bad that it was blowing the wreaths off of the restaurant's windows where we were! Then came the snow.... It snowed, snowed, snowed all night and all of the next day and it was FREEZING on Sunday. Who would have thought that I moved to Denver to be near the winter weather and ended up finding it in Missouri. No seriously, we had a record high of 70 degrees in Denver yesterday. It's colder in Mississippi. Crazy!
When we got back to Denver Sunday night, Kayla took me to eat at the Blue Bonnet for my birthday. It is an amazing Mexican restaurant off of Broadway. We were so tired and jet lagged that we could barely stay awake but we managed a margarita each and made it home in time to shower and go to bed. I wasn't nearly the fool I was three years ago on my birthday!
This week has been very slow... More so because I am anxiously awaiting (and dreading) the flight home to MS for Christmas. I am just not a fan of flying no matter how hard I try. If I wasn't taking vacation time to go home I'd definitely be dumb enough to drive 18 hours to MS. So a week from today I will be reunited with my family and friends, those that mean the most to me, and I really cannot wait. Seeing my mom and brother on my birthday was just a tease. I have already prepped my friends on their need for sleep before I arrive in MS because we have a lot of ground to cover in 5 days (and not much sleep will be had)!
I suppose that is all for now! I will have a whole storybook to write you for the time in the Delta. It's going to be ridiculous! Love you all!
