Day 330 - Apr 26, 2009

Surprise! I went home to PA this weekend. Breezy stayed and watched Kevin and I didn't tell anyone and I just calmly walked into my best friend Moe's, my like second daughter Jessica's and my friend Jason's birthday celebration! I haven't missed Moe's birthday in roughly 16 years and I sure didn't want to start now. So - I hopped on a plane, got stuck in NYC for hours and ended up getting into East Brady at about 10pm last night. It's now almost midnight the next day and I am in Pittsburgh in a hotel waiting to catch a flight at 6am tomorrow morning. I just couldn't leave Kevin that long!

It was just so worth it to see their faces when I walked in though. I swear - I thought I was going to be trampled to death, lol! And it was just heavenly to be home - even if only for like 20 hours. I just wish I could have seen everyone that I wanted to see. Next time, I guess. In July.

So anyway, I need to cut this short because I have to get up in 3 hours to be at the airport by 4am. I don't usually go two hours early, but I have to return the rental car. I sure hope it's a smoother travel day than yesterday was. It ended up taking me 12 hours to get home!

I'm so glad you got to go home! Just sorry the trip didn't go smoother. Things always seem to go wrong when I travel, hope you don't have the same luck - or lack of it.

Haleigh swore she saw you in town, and I swore she was crazy. Glad you got to get home even for a bit. We'll all be glad to see you in July. Take care! Sharon, Haleigh and Zach
