Feels Good to be Home

Well, after the longest day of our lives we are finally home. It felt so great to sleep in our own SOFT bed last night. The beds in China were incredibly hard, so it almost felt like we were sleeping on marshmallows last night. We had a tough time with our travel between the 15 hour flight from Hong Kong to Chicago. Then we had to go through Immigration and wait for nearly an hour to have Brandon's paperwork processed before we could RUN to our next flight that left for Norfolk. After boarding the plane in Chicago and barely making that flight, the plane was overweight and they had to pick off 5 people from the plane. No one volunteered because a snow storm was heading through so they actually had to come through the cabin and point at people to leave. I told Adam if they come over to us I'll just start crying because at that point, we were so tired and so OVER IT!!!! Then after they took the people off the plane, the plane had to be de-iced. Long story short, that flight was 2 hours late leaving Chicago. My cell phone had a dead battery and Adam checked his cell phone in one of our suitcases, so we weren't able to call our family and tell them about the delay. We finally go into Norfolk, and after waiting for our carry on bags and the stroller and a quick diaper change, we were greeted by a large group of family and friends anxiously awaiting with balloons, signs, and hugs. What a great end to a taxing day.
