When I found out my best friend from high school, Kylee, was getting married I told Nate I couldn't miss it so I bought a ticket to fly home for the wedding and Mother's day. Flying these days stresses me out because I refuse to pay money to check a bag. This leaves me cramming everything into one little bag that I have to get through security and some how get into the over head bin all my self.
Well, the flight from Missouri to Arizona was uneventful but upon arriving in Arizona I had thirty minutes until my flight to Salt Lake departed. We had landed a little late, we had to wait a few minutes until we taxied to the gate, and I was at the very back of the plane....I got off and had 15 minutes to get to my next gate. Well, first off I needed a bathroom break, and second of all the gate my flight was departing at was at the entirely opposite end of the airport then my arriving flight. So, I stopped for a bathroom break and then proceeded to run through the concourse towards my gate......well at this point Nate and my mom were calling to see if I had made my close flight......I was sprinting through the airport and out of breath from dragging my big suitcase and carrying my huge purse........while I was on the phone with Nate while running I was paged over the airport intercom......."Will Jasmine Coleman please report to gate B15, Jasmine Coleman your flight is getting ready to leave from gate B15." Well at that point I hung up with Nate and continued to run full speed ahead towards by gate.....to make a long story short I made it in time and made it to Salt Lake in one piece.
Friday was the big day for my friend Kylee and her fiance Nate, (that is right we both married Nates). They were married in the Salt Lake Temple and it was beautiful, it was little hard for me to be back at the Salt Lake Temple for a sealing without Nate there but what can you do......the joys of living out of state. Kylee has known Nate since the summer before our Junior year after they met down at EFY, all of us were just so happy that after all the years they finally got together and decided to get married. They go so well together and I am just so happy for them!!
I was able to go to dinner with my Grandma and Grandpa Christensen, have dessert with Grandma and Grandpa Thornley on Friday night. It was great to get to see them while I was out on my quick trip.
On Saturday I got to spend the day with my mom, shopping for pots and running errands and getting Camille ready for prom. While on our errands my mom and I decided to run past our old house. Well, thank goodness Nate wasn't there and in all honesty I shouldn't have gone by.....the yard was a disaster......weeds, unmowed lawn, and a duck hunting boat and RV parked on the sod that Nate and I had spent days laying with my dad. Oh, it was awful....I about started crying. It was hard to see all our hard work go out the window....I couldn't even begin to comprehend what the inside could possibly look like. UG!!!!
It was great to visit home and spend time with my family but it always makes leaving harder. However, the trip home was good in a sense that it didn't feel like home any more.....it was really weird, obviously everything was familiar but Utah just wasn't home any more. Missouri is really my home now, were I live, and where my life is. It is comforting to know that I am finally adjusted to living here and that I feel at home here.
This trip home just made me really excited to come back for a week at the end of July with Nate.
