Jenea's CrAzY Ride Home

I didn't actually write this as a blog but I hate sitting in front of a computer forever. I do like that I can cut and past though...K...I love and miss you All...

So, my flights went fine, until I got to Houston. I was supposed to get onto a plain to Dallas but I only had two hours in between flights and I had to get my luggage and then check in to the other airlines to get on the plain. So I waited in line for an hour and a half. By the time I got to the front of the line it was already departure time do I knew I wasn't going to make it on time before the plain left. So once I got to the desk I explained everything to the desk clerk and she told me it was fine because the flight had been canceled. The next plain out to Houston wasn't until the next day in the afternoon. So I called my mom and she said it would be faster if she just came and got me so she did. While I was waiting I stared feeling so "depressed." I was already sick before I left and I was soooo hungry because I didn't have anything to eat, my ear was hurting from the flight (it still hasn't popped yet) and I was so sad about waiting in the airport for four hours and all alone. So finally after about fifteen minutes of sulking I realized that it was getting to me already. SO then I thought about how privileged I was to able to+ sit in a nice warm place and wait for the arrival of my family. As opposed to lingering around on the cold streets with no where to go and with no one looking for me. And really I didn't feel that sick, my nose was runny (still is) and I was coughing (still am) but at least I didn't have a killer head ache or something. So first I thought I would try to get something to eat, then I realized that all of the restaurants were past the gates that you can only go through if you are getting on a plane. And besides that it was almost mid-night so everything was closed. The only thing around was vending machines. I was at first pretty crabby about the fact that I couldn't get any really food to eat but then I thought of cool this was that I actually was getting to eat dinner out of a vending machine and how many days I would prefer that over what we get at Harbor Light. So once I figured out the "airport combat" wouldn't work because the place was empty I found a nice spot under the escalator and laid down. I listened to my CD player and read my bible. Oh I was also upset before because I had to carry around my bag, which was really heavy, then I thought of how blessed I was to have all of the stuff that I had. So finally my parents got there and they were so happy to see me. The took pictures of me as they pulled up and I walked towards the car. (How nice!!!)
