Today I am making my way back to good ol Nebraska. It has been almost a year and a half since I have seen my family. Words can't express how excited I am to see my family. I feel like I have missed so much on my little sisters' lives and I dint really like it. I haven't really seen them grow up, only far from afar. It's not until the last couple years that our relationships blossomed. This weekend I will be able to watch Jeana play basketball for the first time in a high school game. But my main reason for coming home is to see my grandma. I am not going to go deep into details but I feel that the good Lord will take her soon. I wanted to be able to see her before that time came and I'd been praying everyday that he wouldn't take her before I came home. Praise God he hasn't. So with all these mixed emotions, it is still good to be home.
With an eight hour flight from Londin to Detroit I couldn't contain myself when I saw the movies available on the flight. I started off with columbiana ( who would've known that the girl from Drum Line could be such a bad ass!). Then it was on to Drive with Ryan Goslng, boy was that gory. And I finished my movie marathon with Happy Feet Two, but by that point I was so anxious for the movie to get over because it meant my flight was almost over. So I didn't really enjoy the movie that much.
When I arrived to Detroit I was so happy to be on US soil. I don't know why but it felt right. Listening to the American accents, watching CNN, and then seeing the restaurants at the airport. First it was Eintein Brothers, then Wendy's, and Fuddruckers (I had no idea they were in airports now!) I was on overload with just those three places and it was so hard to pick. Wendy's was the choice cause of the frostys. I had a choice of vanilla or chocolate. I only remember there being one kind of frosty- chocolate. It was a great frosty. After eating my frosty and junior deluxe cheeseburger I began thinking about all my favorite restaurants back home that I will hit: Runza, Imperial Palace, Buffalo Wild Wings, Romeo's and yes, Taco Bell! The airport had a Taco Bell, but it was in a different concourse and I didn't feel like walking that far. Why walk, when I can have drive thru!!!!
I am going to gain about 50lbs in 5 days!
My first stop in Omaha is Jimmy John's. One of the best sub shops around! I forget what the menu is like, but know that I like their food. As soon I read through the menu, it's like second nature. I would always get the turkey Tom without sprouts! And that's exactly what I got. Tasted just like I remember.
We headed to my little sister, Jeana, basketball game against our rival Bellevue West. Watching her play was a joy to watch. She has good court vision and great at rebounds. And yes, we won.
I let my other sister,Jessica,drive me from the game to grandma's. She actually a good driver. Just a little bit of road rage which reminded me of Beth. It was really good to spend time with her. She is going to Liberty University in Virginia. Can't believe she is going so far away, but I am extremely proud of her. I am so thankful that our relationship has blossomed.
Can't wait for my Romeo's, BWW, Runza, and Chinese from Imperial Palace.
