4am. Like as thankful as I am to be flying home today, why does my flight have to be at 6am? I didn't even have to get up this early for school. Why should I have to for a flight to Minnestota.
I get up out of my bed and head into the bathroom to brush my teeth because that's the kind of person I am. I chose my outfit l as st night so I plop back down on my bed and scroll through Instagram for what felt like 5 minutes but actually turned out to be 20 minutes before frantically grabbing my clothes and brushing my hair. I grab my suitcase and carry on before turning off my lights and heading into our kitchen. Stella's not up yet so I put in my airpods and put my usual morning playlist on shuffle before making myslef breakfast and filling up my water bottle. And belive it or or not, I get a face time call from jonah while eating my cereal.
"Why in the world are you up so early Jo?" I ask
" because we are 2 hours ahead of Hawaii In California making it only 6:30." He laughs watching me completely miss my mouth
" you didnt see that." I laugh along
We talk for awhile before I have to head to the airport and beat morning traffic.
" see you in two days nugget." He says before ending the call.
I put away my empty bowl, grab my things and head out the door.
* at the airport*
Security wasn't too bad but apparently its snowing jn Minnesota so my fight has been delayed and hour so now I'm just kinda chilling here like a loner. But before I know it people start recognizing me and asking ea questions and for pictures.
But the only lasted about 10 minutes since the airport wasn't too packed this morning. I know I was surprised too.
" Flight 262 to Minneapolis, Minnesota is now boarding at gate G4 " someone says over the intercom after waiting for what seemed like and eternity
I grab my carry on and head into the plane. Thankfully I was the only one in my row and was able to sleep for most of the flight. I also responded to emails from work and other crap. But finally I landed.
I walk out of the gate to find my entire family waiting for me. My moms crying (I saw that coming from a mile away.) And my Adalynn my younger sister comes running and embraces me into the biggest hug before everyone else joins and it becomes a big ass group hug.
" I'm so glad you could make it pit for Addies birthday." My mom says as we walk to get my bags
" Me Too. I almost wasn't able to get off work but stella was willing to cover for me this week."

We get home from what felt like the longest car ride ever and as soon as we walked into the door my mom was in family picture mode. Sibling photos, group photos, individual photos. You name it! And in her own words she goes " since all my babies are here together, we can update any photos of us." Like thanks mom. Just got of a boring flight and now I have to make my self look somewhat presentable because these photos will be hanging in tour house for the next 5 years. And that my friends is what the rest of my day consisted of.
