Home for the Holidays

Amid all the holiday traffic, we were happy to have Jessica as a passenger traveling home from college.  There was much anticipation in her return.  We left the house without checking the flight status.  We were worried we were running late so Mark dropped Betsy and Marissa at the curb while he parked the car and walked in with Robert.  Betsy and Marissa ran (RAN) to the arrivals spot only to find out her flight was 20 minutes late.  Whew!

We relaxed with some drinks and popcorn chicken from KFC.  Finally the time came for her flight.  We watched as people came up the ramp.  Where's Jessica? Where's Jessica?  Finally, after what seemed like forever Mark saw he (his height is an advantage).  I raised the "Welcome Home Poster" and started jumping up and down.  Tears started to well up in my eyes.  Oh my, she's only been gone 4+ months.

Robert and Marissa had a race to hug her first, then Devon, dad and me.  We were all so happy to have her home.

She will be home for two weeks, and we will enjoy every minute of it.
