14 hours OMG

So I'm sitting in the Charlotte airport enjoying my "Venti Light Iced Caramel Macchiato Upside-down" still upset that Jenny isn't here entertaining me with her triplets...I mean SERIOUSLY she's so selfish.  Why she won't move 4 individuals with an average age of EIGHT all the way over to the airport so she can wave at me through security and fulfill my need to see babies....gah....I'm just so over her! :)

We drove from Chicago to Cleveland on Monday after packing up a extended cab GMC Sierra and our Honda with two kids and a good majority of our boxes.  Spent Tuesday with family and getting the kiddos settled with my parents.

Yesterday we left CLE for CLT on our way to Punta Cana for a good friends wedding.  We got to our flight for Punta Cana and they asked for volunteers to board a flight 2 hours later and give up their seats on the current flight.  I tooootally volunteered because heck, Dave and I are flying to Vegas in a few weeks for another destination wedding and I haven't booked that yet.  So we got booted and we were pretty jazzed, we were promised seats on the next flight.  Until we got over there.  We got bumped again and we were put up in a hotel in Charlotte for the night.  I have to say we had a decent amount of legwork to do rearranging our schedules and our hotel reservations in Punta Cana but so far this has been a great trip.  We tried two new places in Charlotte for tasty subs and pizza.  I ate Macaroni and Cheese pizza which is CLEARLY going to make my 3 year old jealous.  Dave was impressed with the soda dispensers cause thats normal.  Clearly it doesn't take much to entertain us.

I am sad I didn't get to spend a decent amount of time exploring Charlotte I would have loved to check out more of the local culture but apparently I needed to sleep.  We had lunch and got to our hotel...and I CRASHED...for 8 hours.  I woke up at 10pm and we ordered pizza...I went back to sleep at 1am and slept till 7.  I NEVER sleep like that.  I'm not that girl.  I'm actually really feeling grateful that we had this goofy layover because a majority of our Punta Cana trip was just reimbursed to us through travel vouchers and checks from being bumped from flights and I must have needed that sleep.  I feel AMAZING and I haven't been this rested in a long time.  I'm not the girl that sleeps for 'fun' I don't relax like that and it was seriously glorious.

So we are boarding a plane here in about 50 minutes, the other kicker here is we are flying first class.  I'm overjoyed! I told Dave in a few weeks we'll have to reevaluate if it was a good choice to let ourselves get bumped so much but right now I'm feeling really great about the decision.  Our Vegas trip is almost completely covered and we didn't have to inconvenience anyone other than ourselves.  I'm kinda hoping they want to bump us on the way home.  We are pretty flexible in our travel home so seriously BUMP ME PLEASE.

Well I'm about to run out of battery power here and it's getting hard to concentrate with the "Y'alls" sitting next to me swearing and complaining about Eastern time.  Sorry it makes sense...get over it.

Hopefully I'll be posting some pictures of me TAN in a few days, hopefully not burnt which lets be honest...is more likely.

Bye!


*not sure if any of this makes sense I'm in a hurry y'all!
