"Feelin' Lucky in Kentucky....."
Well....It's official, I'm home. I have been home for a few days now, but my mind wouldn't know it. Tonight is the first night I have had to take some time for myself, in a *VERY* long time. First I wanted to say, "Thank You" for all the well wishes on my engagement. It's so odd to think about how this man has changed my life. I didn't even LIKE him when we first started dating. I am a lucky girl, and that's all on the mush factor.
I had a really nice time in KY, I felt as though I have gotten to know John's parents better. It seems to get better each time I'm there. The lack of communication seems to get better a bit more each time. (John's parents are deaf.) I learn a bit more sign each time we go. This week John's daughter came with us;she is four, and adorable. She seems to really like me, which is a plus. John and I spent quite a bit of time with his younger bro, Mark, this time. I'm enjoying getting to know him more. We went to see King Kong (with my baby daddy, Adrien Brody, in it). Personally, I liked the movie alot. It WAS long....but not unbearable. I had a small meltdown Christmas Eve when I was suppose to come home via airplane for Christmas with my family. John and I decided to ride together to KY, and that I would fly home a day early from KY to be with my family. WEEELLLLLLLLL.....I had talked to a Northwest agent and asked her if I missed my plane to KY, would they save my seat on the way back. SHE SAID YES!....they told me NO at the airport. They then proceeded to tell me that I needed to purchase another ticket(one way ticket) to get home. I called the person, told her what was going on...she then tells me I will have to buy another ticket which is $200 MORE to get home. I told her I didn't have the money, and basically I needed a ticket for that day. She then tells me how she can get me on another flight DECEMBER 31ST! "Hello"...I need to be home DEC 24TH...besides the fact I had to work four hours Christmas Day. So I ended up hanging up on the woman, because she was terribly RUDE. I'm freakin' out a bit, John says we'll go home the 24th night. I tell him NO b/c he was playing Santa for his daughter, and having Xmas with the fam the 25th. I called my mom in a panic, and then think that I will try NW one more time. I am completely making an ass of myself, b/c I am crying like a two year old. This lady can tell I'm upset, and asks me what's going on. I tell her best I can without sobbing into the phone, she finally tells me to let it out. That did it....and I did. She told me to go talk to a manager. John and I waited for 45 minutes, and it was getting closer to time for the plane to take off. Finally, my folks told me that they bought me another ticket, and to "JUST GET HOME". I go to the NW counter, and am completley blubbering, and told them....."My parents bought me a new ticket, get me on the plane. The whole reason I came to KY was b/c I had a free voucher, and it was free, and this is why I did this." The guy looks at me and says "Merry Christmas, get on the plane;tell your parents to refund there ticket." I think I said Thank you. Maybe? But I made it....home for the holidays! And it has been a great Christmas, besides that. I got lots of cool stuff(INCLUDING AN IPOD!)....and I haven't even had Christmas with the girls yet! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.
