Take Off
My adventure has begun. Well, I suppose it started a while ago. Its been a long process in getting this far but today its actually starting to feel real. I am sitting in the Detroit airport waiting for my next flight, wishing I had a cup of coffee to sip on but not willing to give up my seat to go get one:) I'm sitting in a nice comfy lounge chair in an area of the airport that happens to have free wifi. Had a number of people see me off at the airport in Moline today. Was tough to say goodbye but I am excited for what's ahead! Next stop: Frankfurt Germany where I will meet up with some of my fellow OM'ers and be directed where to go next. This whole thing is as much a mystery to me as it is to you. Feels kind of like one big scavenger hunt, except that I don't really know my final destination or how I will arrive there. All I know is my next step, and that is boarding my plane with northwest airlines at 5:00pm today and unless some unknown event occurs I will be landing in Frankfort at about 7:30 tuesday morning! Alright, now for the cup of coffee!

I'm glad I was there to see you off!! When we got home Katie said (imagine her 2 year old voice!!)"ME give Manda Hug and kiss and noses!!" I had to explain to her that she couldnt because you were already gone! She then said "Yeah, Manda on plane in sky!! Way up there (pointing to sky and waving) HI MANDA!!! LOVE YOU!!" It was so cute!!! Can't wait to hear more about your scavenger hunt!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us share in your departure! I couldn't believe Heather just sat in the chair at the end before you left. I asked her about it and she said she was trying not to cry. You have a full page letter already written from her that will be headed your way eventually. :) This afternoon out of the blue Grace said, "Manna on pane!" Too cute! You will definitely be missed! Love you!
ReplyDeleteToday I told Grace, "I miss Amanda, don't you?" She said, "Play with Manna?" Hope you had a good flight and aren't too jet lagged. Praying for your safety!
