home sweet home

i was able to go home for a few days over memorial day weekend. it was so good to be back at home and see my family, and a much needed break.  filled with lots of...

carrie underwood

...sitting in the parking lot for an hour trying to get home after carrie underwood...

all in all an awesome weekend...until my flight got canceled on the way home and i had to wait for the evening flight where i got to stop in portland (which, yes, is completely out of the way)...got stopped at security because my belt set off the metal detector...got stopped again at security because i "appeared to have a knife in my backpack" (do i really look like a terrorist?)...made it safe and sound to salt lake (by the way, is there anything more depressing than getting off a plane and having no one there waiting to pick you up, and instead making the lonely treck back to your car to drive yourself home? i think not.)...stood at the wrong luggage carousel with the rest of the passengers on my plane until they announced our luggage was on another carousel and no one had bothered to mention this to us...forgot where i parked my car in the huge economy lot (and accidentally erased the text i had previously sent myself to remind me where i parked)...eventually found my car and made it back to provo.  really nothing you can do in this situation but laugh at how horribly wrong everything is going.

airport craziness aside, a great vacation. now back to the daily grind.
