Sorry it has been such a long time writing! I made it home to Idaho as most of you know because you saw me, and I eventually made it back to North Carolina. When I flew out of Salt Lake there was a delay in our flight leaving. I already only had an hour to catch my connector. Well once we hit Atlanta we didn't realize how bad the weather was. The storms throughout Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and Tennessee were so bad we had to fly clear down over Houston, Texas, and across Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It added 20 minutes to our flight. Once we landed, the stewardess announced that since the weather was bad, there were more than likely most flights if not all were going to be delayed. Once I turned on my phone I got the report that my flight was delayed. Once I got to the gate it was supposed to leave from they changed it. After 4 more times of changing our gate they finally told us the flight was cancelled and to make our way over to the counter to get a new flight.
Well i got put on standby for a flight first thing in the morning. After changing gates 4 times we made it to our final gate. I was praying on my way over to the flight that I would be able to make the flight and get home in time for my doctor's appointment. As we began boarding the pilot came out and told the lady at the ticket counter he could only have 44 people on the flight. She told him she had 46 people to board. Well turns out it was a total God thing I got on that flight. The 44th person didn't show, and as soon as my name was called I booked it to the counter. I was praising God that I didn't have to stay longer in the airport. The flight wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... until we started to land. There were winds up to 16 miles an hour as we were landing. We were just in one of the little puddle jumper planes and I'll tell ya.. we felt every bump. I didn't know the guy next to me, but he almost became my best friend. :)
I'm home now and it has been busy. I found out at the doctor's appointment that my anatomy scan is scheduled for May 16th! I'm praying we find out what we are having that day and the baby doesn't decide to be shy. :) I have a friend who has been staying with me, and that has been a blast. Here is to all my Idaho people... We were at the beach on Saturday. :) I'm glad to be back, not having to deal with the wind, and rain, and sleet, and snow, and wind, and more wind. :)
I talked to Jake a few days ago. I am wondering if since the news of Osama has been released if security will increase for our men deployed. Please keep them in your prayers! Jake has been gone two months now. I'm ready to have him home! I miss him! They are trying to do something with the mail system there to try to get it to them faster, so he hasn't received mail in a few weeks. I'm hoping they get it figured out. He has 3 boxes headed to him now, and the church is getting ready to send another. I gotta get off this computer and get ready for church. I love you all!!
Love,
Anna
