December 21- There has always been a strong love hate relationship with airports. We did the long distance thing for two years....it was great coming, horrible leaving! Well, today proved no different. Bill called this morning from Dulles and said that his flight into Chicago was canceled so he wouldn't be flying into Omaha on time. Well, United had him booked on a later flight....yeah...two stinkin days later! NO UNACCEPTABLE!
Well, I dropped Addi off at school and came home to search for flights. The guy that Bill called in Bahrain called me...cause Bill left that number....of course there was nothing he could do! Side note....I would FOR SURELY be kicked out of Bahrain by now. This guy treated me like crap the minute he found out I was a woman. That wouldn't go over too well with me!
So, Bill can't get out until Sunday at 2 which means that we will miss Christmas with my Mom's family. Needing some comfort food after we picked Addi up from school we went to Chick-filet. Well, on our way Bill calls and asks me if I can pick him up at 7 in Kansas City! Ahhhh yeah! Apparently Bill stood in line forever and when he finally got to talk to an agent she checked every airport in the the area. Sioux Falls, Minneapolis, Fargo, Des Moines, Kansas City...and there was nothing available. She just so happened to check Kansas City one more time....after she had checked it once....and there was ONE seat available....someone had just canceled their seat. She was able to snap it up for Bill. Now that was a Christmas Miracle! So, I was able to get Breanna to come over and watch Addi and Landon so Bill was going to be their surprise in the morning!
Bill was sleeping when Addi woke up and all he said was "Good Morning Addi" and she shrieked "Daddy" and jumped up to hug him! It wasn't long before Landon woke up and I went and got him....they were both so excited! It was such a great surprise! Oliver was sitting on Bill's bedside lamp with a wand. Addi was concerned that Olivers feet were going to get burned by the light bulb....Captain safety's daughter for sure! I don't have any pictures because it was too dark in our room....trust me the camera was ready! But it was an amazing reunion! Addi and Landon didn't let Bill get more than two feet from them the entire day!
It is great to be together as a family....this is truly the way it should be! I am SO very thankful that we are together for Christmas! The most amazing gift ever!
