We Thought Brooke Was Leaving...

We said our goodbye's (or so we thought) tonight and I took Brooke to the airport, but her flight was delayed on Allegiant (no surprise there!) but then there was this big crazy dust storm and her flight eventually got cancelled around midnight. Meanwhile, I'm having car trouble because the fob to Bill's car died, so it went into theft mode and I lost power-- right after dropping her off at the gate... I was glad I'd lost power right AFTER I dropped her off and could still safely get to the curb. Well, after an hour of being pulled over at the side of the road and waiting with the airport operations guy in a no parking or stopping zone, Bill was able to get there and we got the problem fixed. We just needed a key fob that worked, but the car was dead by then, so the airport tow truck guy jumped us. Then I drove my Suburban home and Bill was right (sort of ) behind me. Then Brooke called and needed to be picked up because her flight got cancelled... so Bill had to go all the way BACK to get her at around midnight! Ugh. It was a really weird storm-- very low visibility apparently, but I drove home just fine. But if Allegiant hadn't been running late, she would've made her flight before the storm rolled in. The airport got super busy and a lot of traffic backed up in the time I had to wait to switch cars, so it took me a while to get out of there too! (It's Labor Day weekend and everyone is trying to get out of town!) It was just a weird night, though! Plus side? We get Brooke for another 2 full days! She doesn't leave to go back until Sunday morning!!!

Luke is obsessed with a little train from one of my toys he was playing with today... I let him take it home and Megan said he wouldn't put it down. He had to hold it while she read him The Goodnight Train. Apparently it's his favorite book right now, and hence the obsession with the train toy! He's so dang cute! She had to pry it out of his hands so he could go to bed!! Hahaha!

Also, we got to finally put up my swing today! Terry finally got the drywall patched above the swing where the drywallers hadn't finished around the hooks. It looks SOOOOOOO CUTE! I love it!
