Mom took me to the airport 2 hrs early, which FYI you only need to do at big airports, Joplin is so tiny that there were no lines... ever! Brian's family came to say good bye and brought me sprite and tots from Sonic :)
The first flight was great and we had an empty seat next to me that Addison liked to sit in. The small plane was mostly empty and there was a man several rows back that played peak-a-boo with Addison. At one point he was a life saver :) Addison fell asleep on our decend so her ears didn't bother her but mine felt like they were going to burst. Flying with head congestion is a really really bad deal. I waited till everyone got off the plane so I could grab my stuff with a sleeping baby and not wanting everyone to have to wait on me. I'm pretty sure this is where I left my tablet... which sucks hard core!!
I had just enough time to get to my terminal in Dallas to see that my plane was just starting to load. I grabbed a burger at Wendy's that was right there and the cashier asked how old Addison was and when I was due. She then told me things were going to get hard for me... thanks lady! lol I grabbed the fried for Addison and went to board the plane... the lady at the gate hurriedly asked if I was on the flight and told me it was loading in a rough way... like I didn't notice! I'm glad I paid extra for preferred seating on this flight cause it was packed! I had the window seat and the seat in the middle had a big tray on it so there was plenty of space for Addison to lay down in my lap or fling her arms without hitting someone in the face. The lady in the isle seat was really sweet too. I think the lady sleeping right in front of me didn't appreciate Addison playing with our tray and kicking her eat tho... but I tried to keep it to a minimum :/
I finally got Addison to fall asleep about an hour before we landed, which was 9pm their time and like 11pm our time. I was so tired and frustrated when I couldn't find my way out to where Brian was picking us up, so Brian drove to where we were waiting. We got home an hour later and Brian and Addison were full of life and I was dead.
Sorry I don't have any picks of our new place but its been an adjustment getting settled in... I promise there will be some shortly!!
