We finally made it to Memphis.....

Here is what Chris and I did on New Years Eve
(warning, may be too exciting for some to handle)
-Woke up at 3:45 am to get ready to leave at 4:00 to the airport to head back home
-Sat on plane for almost 2 hours with no explanation as to why
-Missed our connection flight in Minnesota due to previous 2 hour delay
-Ran to next terminal to catch our detoured flight to Memphis (totally on the way to Missouri right?)
-Were schmoozed over by Delta by getting to ride first class to Memphis (totally not over-rated...I mean, they give you your drink in a glass cup with the can, they brought us a basket of goodies like twix bars, chips, and brownies several times, and they even took our coats to hang them up!!!)
-Arrived in Memphis where we were greeted by the smell of BBQ the moment we stepped off the plane! (we bought a sandwich because I was starving due to not eating all day but I hope it was not the best Memphis has to offer...)
-Got off plane in St Louis only to find that our 2 checked bags did not make it with us

Lets just say that it was a really long day and it took us over 12 hours and 3 flights to get home. We still don't have our baggage (with all our new Christmas presents might I add) and Delta is not answering our phone calls.

The highlight came when Dodd's were gracious enough to let us join them for a pizza dinner and ice cream (which was a blessing because all we had in our fridge was water and condiments!) and they didn't even mind that we left their house at 9:00 to go home to bed (which I am still regretting because only moments later Kathryn went into labor!) Happy New Year.
