Suprise!

Ok, guess where I am...most of you already know, but Jenny didn't! I am in Roanoke! I decided a few months ago (with help and prompting from my husband) to come out for a visit, oh yeah, and NOT let Jenny know about my plan. Well, it worked, I managed to keep it a secret and she was very suprised.



Here is how it went down: after a full day of travel (3 different airplanes)I arrived in Roanoke about 7 pm. Mark met me at the airport and we waited for my bag, which has yet to show up (a whole different story). He takes me to the house and brings Addilyn in, who he takes up the stairs and tells Jen he found left on the front step. Jen is not fooled, she recognizes Addilyn right away from her pictures, and starts crying " The Crockers are here?!". I come up the stairs and we hug and cry. Gosh, I've missed her!



We have had a lot of fun so far, just hanging out and getting caught up. T and I have been playing and baby P is just as cute as he looks in the pictures. I have taken some pictures which I will down-load when my bag gets here. Oh yeah...my bag.



So, I waited until the luggage spinny thing stopped. No bag, not a good sign. The guy comes out and tells me that there is nothing else on the plane. Off to customer service. I wait for 15 min. for someone to come over to the counter, all with a baby who was done traveling hours ago. Finally someone come and tells me my bag in in TN. They don't know why, but it should be delivered later that night and they will bring it to the house. Next morning, no bag. I call and she said it will put put on a plane for later that day and will arrive about 6pm. Off to Wal-Mart for...everything. At 9pm, still no bag. Mark calls for me and finds out my bad in now in Little Rock, AK. Today is Saturday, I still have no bag and am now glad I bought the 5 pack of undies at Wal-Mart. My bag has the charger for my cell phone, which is almost dead. It has the cord for my computer, all Addilyns stuff and all my stuff. Addilyn can wear P's stuff, but its a little big, and he is a boy. I am a foot taller than Jen, so I can't use any of her stuff.

I hope my bag comes before Church tomorrow!

I'm so excited that the surprise worked out! I wish I could have seen Jenny's face! Priceless! :)

That really stinks about your bag. I hope it shows up soon. What airline was it?

Have fun! Wish I could be there with y'all!
Love,
Jen

I went to Poland several years ago, and the girl traveling with me never got her bag. Six years later and they are still looking for her bag...

The good news is you're still in America and they know where your bag is. When you're traveling across seas, it's a little harder to find your bag.

Sorry to hear you lost your bag!! My dad has been traveling there a lot for business and hates the long day of travel. But he has yet to lose his bag! I'll tell him he's lucky ;o) That is especially hard with a baby. Hope your bag comes soon!!

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Solo

I was told by my mother when I was a teen that my curfew was midnight because "nothing good happens after midnight". If that is true at 16, I am pretty sure that "nothing good happens before six a.m" is true for my current station in life. Some may argue that it is always true, but not Annabelle. For the last few weeks, the babe has been up before the sun. It isn't exactly the fault of the whole "fall back" time change, but that didn't help matters. Normally this is annoying, but not really my problem as Matt is the one on call as the sun rises. Alas, Matt is in Korea and I am flying solo, desperately missing my morning wing man. I am not ashamed to say that in the wee hours of the morning I told my not-quite two year old that I was not getting up yet, tossed her some toys and dry cheerios with a sippy and told her to play quietly. I stumbled back to my still warm bed knowing I bought myself about 15 minutes to clear the cob webs from my brain and ...

Feeling Resolute

I am a list person. I don't actually follow everything I write down, but I do write it down. Sometimes I think it is my weird way of feeling like I have my life under control. Not only do I make lists for myself, I make them for Matt. Yes, I know that is obnoxious so I don't always give him the lists I make for him. Yesterday I tortured my husband by making him sit down and make a list WITH me. I do it every year. You see, Matt is an amazing big picture person, but details kill him. Annually I make him sit down and write goals. We categorize them by finance, work, personal, spiritual, etc. It kills him to have to be specific. I keep the list every year and we read it together. This significantly brightened Matt's mood, to hear all the things we have accomplished this year. Our debt is reduced, relationships have been formed and baby #3 can be totally checked off the goal list. This year I am resolving to blog every day. The reason for this is 2 fold, neither of which is me ...
