We arrived back into the states about two weeks ago.
We were definitely feeling excited and nervous about getting back into the swing of things...real life.
We arrive at JFK airport around 4:00pm and went through immigration and customs. After that process we knew we had about a 3 hour layover. Once we arrived at the gate for our Nashville bound flight....they said the plane was delayed an hour so it wasn't leaving till 8:30pm. Fine...no big deal...text our friends and say we are going to be an hour late to Nashville. No big deal.
Then...8:30 came and there had never been any boarding. At this point we hear that the "Nashville flight has been canceled". Sooo, I got in THE line and they told us that our flight was canceled and that the next earliest flight out to Nashville was tomorrow from LaGuardia at 10:00am. By the end of the conversation with the impressively helpful Delta agent, we had a room in Flushing, food vouchers (that we had to use in the next 5 minutes at the airpot before everything closed), $100 credit to a Delta flight, and taxis to and from the hotel.

So in the end God knew that weren't completely ready to come back to Nashville Friday night and that we needed one more vacation day...in NYC! :)
Also God knew that the pilot that was flying our 7:30 plane was obviously not capable of flying us home because on the news that evening we found out that our plane to Nashville as it was coming into the gate hit a plan that was empty and the wings were messed up. So we are thankful for the delay.

It was nice to have breakfast from the local deli in Flushing and gradually ease back into life state side.
Our loot from the JFK food vouchers. :)
This is what we were greeted with when we came home. We have some amazing people in our life!
This is who were definitely happy to see! :) We had missed our little Lucy a whole lot
Our first real day back to reality was spent with some amazing friends...
Now, what in the world am I going to blog about now? We shall see...
