D - home sweet home!

I am home, that's right!! Its 3:15am and I can't sleep(its only midnight in Vancouver!). I am basically going to copy out what I wrote in my journal on the plane because I can't actually think right now!

I'm on the plane headed home for Christmas. My flight was delayed by about 30 minutes, so I am assuming that we won't land in Toronto until about 1:30am - which means at least 2:45 before I get back to Kim's...YIKES!
Today was a good day. Definitely fitting for my last day in Vancouver before the holidays.
This morning I went to New Westminster Corps with Greg, Joshua and Jaunito(after dropping Olivia and Katie off at the airport). Church was nice and I believe it is the first time I've been to an actual Corps service in months!! But I think that the 3 of us may head out there more regularly. Lisa(CO)also mentioned that if we can't get bus passes from TWC that they would be willing to provide them - sweet stuff! After church we, plus Corey, headed off to IHOP for lunch. I felt almost normal!! If there is such a thing as normal anymore.
We headed back into the city, dropped J&J off at the thrift store and headed back to the Shaldon so I could finish my packing - which took me all of 5 minutes! - seriously, I only brought one small suitcase home. I'm so proud of me! - Along the way Andy Mac came to my door and he agreed to come to the airport with Greg and I(thanks Andy!). I always love when Andy's around - adventures are always fun with him! Love you Andy Mac!!!
On the way to the airport I called my mom and we talked about the holidays. She asked where I was going(at that exact moment) so I told her the airport to drop people off - heehee - Its a good thing she wasn't really listening intently because Greg piped up yelling "to drop Denise off!" I hit him and Andy laughed - although in Greg's defense, I don't think that I ever mentioned to him that my going home was a surprise to my mom. I'll apologize to G later!
It was really difficult to keep it from her because she kept saying "if I had the money to bring you home, I would." There was a sadness in her voice - it was hard not to spill the beans.
My friend Kim was at the airport to get me, along with David's(some of you will know that name)younger brother Bryan who agreed to drive with Kim and keep her company since I was getting in so late. With my flight being 30 minutes late, they apparently had lots of fun fooling around with the cart and riding super slow escalators in the new airport terminal! Did you know that if you stand on one of those moving sidewalks with a cart(which isn't supposed to go on it in the first place)and the brake on the cart will start to spin?! The things you learn early in the morning at the airport! Good times!

So yeah...that's all I'm gonna share =) Its now 3:30 and I am heading to bed(it looks SO comfy!). I'll let you know how surprising my family goes!

Blessings.
