The name of my blog is "This moment is where we belong". Well, several times this weekend I questioned that sentiment. Friday was a day of delays and missed flights trying to get to
Kirksville to see Hannah graduate from
JBA. I needed to be there by 5 and did not arrive until 6:30. I had just sat down when her class was called up to receive her certificate. WHEW!! I looked up to heaven and just said thank-you Lord. I belonged in that moment. Not the 90 minutes before but right then. On Saturday we drove the 3 hours to the airport and patiently waited for our flight. We got on the plane and sat there for 2 1/2 hours. After having not seen my daughter for almost a month we used that time to catch up (she slept in the car). That moment was right where I belonged, reconnecting with my daughter. Then it was announced our flight would be going nowhere and was cancelled with no more planes leaving that night. Hannah and I scrambled for a hotel and then went to a very late dinner, once again talking and sharing stories about her time away. That moment was right where I belonged. We finally arrived home this evening over 24 hours late. Could I be angry and frustrated about all that has happened? Yes. But I am slowly realizing that every moment good or bad is right where we belong.
P.S. I will post pics of Hannah at Truman State and Jeff from his big Houston tournament later in the week.

Hannah,
Glad you are home safe and sound! Can't wait to see pictures and hear about your experience.
Hope Jeff's tournament was fun for him and he made it home safe and sound.
See you Tuesday
Love,
Grandma
