Well I thought I better document that I got a weekend away just me because I know it will not happen again for a very very long time. I love the time I spent in Utah. I loved being able to visit with family without the distraction of kids. I do LOVE being with my kids but usally on our visits our kids are harder than usual, so it was nice to be able to really visit. I loved it!! I loved seeing my sisters and brothers and mom and dad, and my aunts and cousins, and sister-in-laws, and mother-in-law. It really was so nice. I also felt so overwhlemed with the generosity and support of all my family at my baby shower. I have the best family, I really miss being able to go to the big family get togethers, so it was so fun to see everyone.
So my time in Utah was great. However traveling was a nightmare. On Friday night my plane from OK to Ut was re-routed to Colorado Springs because of fog. After waiting hours in the Colorado Springs airport we finally got word the fog situation had improved and we took off and headed to SLC arrivng a little after 2am.
Than on Monday after I had arrived at the airport checked my bag got through secuirty and was walked to my gate I got word my my flight from SLC to OKC was cancelled because of ice storms on OK. So of course I cried, I was ready to see my fam, and I got on a flight for the next day. So Tuesday I went back to the airport again and my flight was cancelled again. When I went to get another flight home and they said they couldn't get me on a flight until Thursday. I of course started to cry the poor Delta worker probably thought I was nuts. I asked if there were any other flights or airlines they coudl get me on. They got me a flight to Denver and a connection from Denver to OK arriving at 10 pm that night. It was risky because there was a chance my flight could be cancelled again in Denever and would be stuck there until Wednesday morning but I could at least get a flight home on Wednesday. Well lucky for me the flight was not cancelled and I made it home to OK. Of course they lost my bag, which I was not surprised with all the juggling around of flights, but I made it. I had parked my car and so hopped on the shuttle to the parking lot which was not covered. I got to my car and found it completely iced over like I have never seen before. Unfortunatley our car does not have a fnacy clicker thing to unlick it you just have to out the key in the hole and turn however the keyhole was ice covered. But no problem after chipping away at it for a couple of minutes I was in. I found the ice scraper and tried to chip away at the ice but it was hopeless there was no way. I just sat in my car and waited for the heater and defrost to kick in. In the mean time Tyler called wondering what the roads were looking like. Bless his heart he was so worred about me driving home. He went online and found a hotel for me to stay in that night. However after all the hassle the last thing I wanted was to stay in a hotel so stubborn me told him I was going to drive home that night. I promised I would stop if I slipped on the road even once.
So I finally got all the ice chipped away with the help of some guy that had pity on my, I am sure the huge belly helped with that. The roads in OKC were pretty bad, but I didn't slip and once I got out of the city it got much better. I still had to drive pretty slow so what is normally a 1 hour 20 min drive took over 3 hours. I made it home around 2:30 am. I have never been so grateful to be home. Wednesday was Ty's birthday so it was so nice to be home with him and the kids. Syd's school was cancelled so we had fun making Ty's cake and a special birthday dinner.

So all in all I think I really DO NOT want to travel in the winter again!! I think we will save all our traveling for the other 3 seasons.
