i'm home

so after a super long wednesday, seriously it seemed to take forever - i'm home!

my flight from cork to heathrow was slightly delayed and then once we got to heathrow we had to wait for a bit before we could land, so we ended up being almost an hour late. so i went in to check into my second flight and when i look down at my ticket it says 2.45, i looked at my watch 2.35, i was like what? luckily the flights were all delayed, so my gate wasn't being announced until 3.15, so i went down to my gate after getting some food and we were waiting there until about 4.15 when they started to board. so i was supposed to call my mom when we were boarding, so i call her and the stupid voice goes - i'm sorry we cannot make your call. i was like wtf. so i try again, thinking i dialed wrong, nope. then i try my mom's cell and the house. nope. so i'm like freaking out, and i was like well let's call kara. so i call and leave a voice mail and a text asking her to call my mom and let her know i was on the plane and leaving. so way to stress me out, and it didn't help i was getting a headache. so most of the flight i was just trying to read or watch movies, the last hour or so of the flight was a killer on my headache. it was almost as bad as my flight last summer from pheonix to home after vacation last summer when i had a migrane. i love flying into newark and seeing the nyc skyline and statue and everything. that's when it hit me i was home - so weird.

so the lines were taking forever at immigration. it takes less time for me to go through immigration in ireland than it does getting into the us. how silly is that? so then i wait for my luggage, luckily they were some of the first off the plane. it was so great to see my parents and the first thing i said to my brother was, holy shit you grew. he is now officially taller than i am. so we walk outside and i just stopped because of the heat, i forgot what it was like to be hot outside. i love it. it finally felt like summer. so we went to carmine's for dinner for my favourite italian. and then once we got home, i was kinda tired, but it was only slightly after 9 and i wanted to stay up longer. so my brother got a wii, so him, my dad and i were playing for a bit. it's hard, i'm not very good, but i think the hand-eye cordination issues might have something to do with it.

so yesterday, i woke up and watched some tv and then decided to clean my room so i could use it, my parent's use my room as the random storage facility. so that took most of the day, and also it was gorgeous outside. i kept looking out the window and being surprised that i was sunny and not grey and cloudy. after dinner my mom and i went to get my sister's car, for my weekend trip to dc. it was weird to drive after not driving for 10 months.

so i'm off in a bit to head down to dc for cooper's wedding and to see my worcester loves. YAY! it should be a fabulous weekend! it feels so great to be home :)
