HOMMMMMMEEEE

Wow, what a day I had yesterday. Everything went wrong. It started out the rental car place would not take my debit card. I called my bank and found out they had lowered my limit because my card had been compromised. They raised my limit so I could get my car. After that I left the hotel to head to the airport, and my GPS on my phone was trying to take me in the opposite direction, after driving around for about 20 minutes I finally got on the right track, After a two hour drive I finally made it to the airport but never found a gas station to fill up my rental car, then I would not find the right parking lot to return my car. When I turned in the car they found a scratch on the front bumper, but luckily they believed my when I said I didn't do it. After I walked to two wrong terminals with a suitcase missing a wheel (it broke off between FL and Haiti on the way there.) I walked all the way across the HUGE airport and finally found the right one. I got to the airport really early so I ate lunch at 12:00ish. My gate number was not on my boarding pass so I went to the boards to find my flight, guess what? My flight was not on the board. I waiting for three hours went to check again, still not there. I called Matt and he looked online and it told me what gate and that my flight was leaving 40 minutes later than regular time. Because it was leaving so late I would not have been able to make my next flight that left Atlanta at 8:55. The got me on an earlier flight that was supposed to leave at 5:30 but wasn't actually leaving until 6:00. We got boarded on the plane and headed to the runway to find out we were delayed because of a storm in ATL.  They said we would leave at 6:30, then 7:00, then 7:45, then 8:00. then 9:00. I kept checking my other flight on my phone and it said it was on time. Meaning I would miss it. Right as we were taking off I called Matt and told him to call delta to figure out what to do. So the whole flight I didn't know if I would make it home or be staying in ATL. As soon as we landed I called Matt, he said my plane was gone and he got me on a flight at 8:15 the next morning and that he got me a hotel that was connected to the airport, but I needed to check on my baggage to see if I would get it in ATL or if it would go on to Evansville. While in line I met a family and they said they were supposed to be on the same flight as me and that the gate had literally just closed. The lady at the counter said they were waiting on fuel and if we ran we might make it. We took off and ran all the way through the airport. We had to jump on a tram then ran some more. When we got to the gate the doors were closed but they were contacting the pilot to see if he would let me, the family, and another guy. HE DID. As soon as I found out I was going to make the plane I called Matt so he could head to get me. We ran though the gate to get to the plane. When we got to where you get on the plane that was pulling up. He has already headed toward the runway but came back for us. Thank you Jesus. We got on the plane and headed to Evansville. We left Atlanta at out 11:00 PM (our time.) We made it to the Evansville in an hour, but of course my luggage was not there because it did not get from one plane to the next. I waiting in line for about 30 minutes to fill out a lost luggage claim. Then we headed home! My luggage should be delivered to out hour in about 2 hours.

I am so thankful to be home after such a terrible day!! We did lose the money for the hotel, but it is okay, I just wanted to be home.
