Christmas Break

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! And for those of you in the Midwest...I hope the blizzard didn't cause too much trouble with your Christmas plans. I had an amazing time with family and friends. It was SOOO great to be able to spend time with them, since I missed them so much. The snow storm caused some travel complications for me, but I was with loved ones basically the whole time so I really didn't let it bother me. It definately was hectic though...

I flew out from Italy last Monday to London. My flight from London was delayed 4 hours, so by the time I landed in Chicago, I missed my flight to Fargo. I was forced to stay overnight in a hotel by myself. I flew out in the morning from Chicago to Fargo (that flight was only 45 minutes behind schedule). I then drove 4 hours to make an appointment I needed to be at with my fiance. I guess I haven't metioned it yet on here, but I am engaged and am thrilled about it. But back to my story now... After we made it to the appointment we drove another 6 hours to be with my family for a couple days. About this time is when the snow storm started rolling in. We left a day early to beat the storm and drove 6.5 hours through less than perfect conditions. After that, I needed to be in Fargo for my flight back to Italy....but the roads were all closed due to the storm. So I hopped on a train and got to Fargo around 3:30 am. The next day I found out that my flight was cancelled so I had to reschedule. The next flight I could catch was not until today (two days later on Monday). I am currently in the Fargo airport waiting for my flight to arrive so that I can begin my long travel back to Italy. And wouldn't you know it...my flight is delayed. It is delayed long enough so I will miss my connecting flight in Chicago. So I had to reschedule to a different trans-atlantic flight from Chicago. I have no idea what awaits me in my travels but I can't help but wonder what else could go wrong. :)

But I am SOOO thankful I was able to be with my family for Christmas. Happy New Year to everyone!!! God bless!
