He made it!

Above you can see something I was staring at for about 24 hours now. M left for the states yesterday at 10:25AM. We were both really nervous that the expired visa might cause trouble at the airport.

What made it even worse: We cancelled his cellphone contract cause he won't need it any time soon. So right after my love went through the gate, I didn't hear anything from him... until his mom called me on Skype at 3AM to let me know he made it safe over the big pond, but stranded in Chicago, cause his flight to Arkansas got cancelled. Geez! I was so relieved to hear my baby is doing ok! I didn't sleep much this night, cause I was worried and of course cause I was watching the Super Bowl.

Today around noon we finally got the chance to "talk" for a little bit. "American Airlines" provided a free hotel room in Chicago and an all you can eat menu for M. So he was at least safe and full.

His flight for this morning was delayed again, this time for about 1 hour, but my friend "FlightView" told me the plane landed safe in Little Rock. Now I'm sitting at my kitchen table, brought some work to keep me busy, and waiting for a video call I hope I will get before I pass out tonight. I'm really tired and exhausted. And the apartment is so empty without him...

Good part: I can eat one of my fave dishes tonight! Pasta with pesto! M doesn`t like it at all, that's why I didn't eat it as often as I did during my time as a single lady ;o)

Aaaaaaaannnnd: My new washing machine is finally here and running! Oh how fun laundry can be!

I will hop in my sweatpants now, cuddle up on the couch with Coco cat, eat, and watch some TV. Thinking about starting "Army Wives" from season one again.

I hope you all had a great weekend! And hopefully not as exciting and nerve wrecking as mines ;o)
