Getting Home!

We made it to St. Louis airport about 2:00 pm on the 21st after visiting Carthage. Our flight wasn't until 6:00 and there were 5 other people on that flight from our tour. Two ladies, Jennifer and Janell Wagner, were from Vegas too. Austin, Mishawn, and Katie all live in Phoenix (which is were we had to switch planes). Well a huge storm moved in over St. Louis and shut down the airport for a couple hours, so our plane was late leaving which meant we missed our flight out of Phoenix. The soonest we could get another flight was not until Thursday morning, and we had waited long enough to see our kids! So we decided to rent a car and drive home from Phoenix. Jennifer and Janell both had to work Thursday so they needed to get home as well. So the 4 of us rented a car at about 10:30 at night and headed home. We pulled in our driveway at 3:30 Thursday morning. Travis drove the entire way. Scary thing is, he doesn't remember anything past Hoover Dam! We had gotten up at 6:30 in Nauvoo (their time zone, whatever it is!) so by the time we got home we had been up 23 hours. Never in my life has my bed felt so good!
