Traveling

So now my special someone is all the buzz with those that know me. Everyone wants to hear more about how things went, and what the scoop is. I even got asked did you get engaged. The answer to that is no. That is something that is in God’s hands and His timing. Whether He chooses to lead us to that or not I will consider myself blessed to have Vanessa in my life. I think I’ll basically give a recap of my weekend. If you have questions you’re just going to have to ask them.

So I took off work early on Friday and headed to my parents. My Mom drove me to the airport and dropped me off. I waited my hour at the gate listening to some tunes and reading some magazines. One thing I have to say is that flying Midwest Airlines is an interesting experience. I’d also have to say that the planes that fly in-and-out of Minneapolis are pretty comfy. The biggest drag about the flight there was the little more than 2.5 hours lay-over in Milwaukee. I also was a little worried about my luggage as I decided to check my suitcase on the first flight and was hoping it would actually make it onto the second plane. The way bag I decided to just carry it all on, that was a little more comforting. This was my first lay-over experience btw. The flights themselves really didn’t seem to take that long, I was kind of surprised really. We hit the ground in Grand Rapids, MI a little early. I had given Vanessa a call before I left from Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and then when I hit the ground in Grand Rapids. She had made it there just about the time I hit the ground. It was so wonderful to finally see her again! It had been really a little over 2 months since our first meeting (back in February in the Twin Cities). It was about 11:20 PM when I got into Grand Rapids, then it was about 30-45 minutes back to her place. When we got to her place she gave me the quick tour and showed me what I needed for my stay. I’m feeling kind of like a dope right now because I don’t remember doing anything other than that before we said good night and she headed to her parents. (Vanessa if I’m forgetting anything in this post please fill in the gaps for me, and I apologize dearly if I forgotten something :-/) During the tour she pointed out a surprise box she had put together for me that I could open at some time. (After we said our good night I felt like such a dork that I hadn’t opened it with her. I’d like to think that my mind just wasn’t very clear with the amazement that I was actually there in MI with her. Not that’s is a good excuse or anything. ) I did be sure to open it and spend some time going through it before I headed to bed. As I read her notes and looked at the little things she put in there, that were things that reminded her of me, I sat there in utter amazement, and felt like the most blessed by God ever. It’s really hard to really put into words how I felt at that moment. It was enough though to keep me awake for hours before I could get to sleep. It was simply amazing!
