It's a new year!!!

WOW!!! IT's been a while since last getting on! Sorry about that. But all is well here! We've started off into the new year! I went to see my mother and grandmother. I flew up there this time instead of driving like I do normally. IT was only $200 to go round trip! I figured that I would have spent that much just driving up and back and getting meals. Plus It ment that I wouldn't have to get up super early to try to get to Missouri. I left here at 8am and drove to Houston. A three hour drive. Got there with plenty of time. I ate some pizza at the airport. Went and sat down and listened to Coldplay on my ipod and read an entertainment weekly until it was time to board. The flight was alright. Had to share my row with a little woman. There was supposed to be some man sitting next to me, but when he got on the plane and saw he had to sit next to me, he began complaining to the stewardess. So she switched some seats. I like flying on the three seat planes. The left side of the plane only has one seat. I like that. I get a window to look out of and no one bothers me. It was only a two hour flight. I got to KC by 3:30pm. And Mom was there! AND IT WAS COLD!!! The high was only 23 degrees. Just two hours ago it was in the 50's in Texas. I brought my "winter" coat with me. It helped.
It was good to see family. Spent some time with my grandmother. Spent lots of time with my mother and her cats. We also celebrated my father's birthday. I flew up just as his birthday would have been. It was fun to sit and think and miss him.
I also got to see some of my friends from home. Josh and I had lunch together one afternoon. And I also saw some of my co-workers from my last job. It was good to see them.
I had some Casey's Pizza. I never miss out on a trip up here for that. We all think it's the best pizza out there. Really cheesy and delicious!
It even snowed while I was there!! It stayed on the ground for a whole day before it began to disapear the next day with better temps.
I flew back home on Sunday. Once again, it was really nice to just get up and not have to really rush. Said bye to my Grandmother, and Mom and I had some waffle house for breakfast. I broke a shoe lace and had to go to walmart to get another. Then Mom dropped me off at the airport. It's kind of pointless now a days to stay and wait at the airport now. They cut you off as soon as you walk through the gate. I remember when we all could just sit there and wait for a plane to come in or leave. They didn't have all these gates and check points. It's sad.
So Mom and I said our bye for nows and I checked in. We took off a little before 12:30 and got to Houston ahead of time. I got to sit in that single seat. I like that seat much better.
Made it to Houston and then got in my truck that I had parked in a park and pay lot, and drove home. I did find a really nice Chinese Buffet in Humble. East Cafe!!! It's really good. And has a great selection.
So I made it home in three hours!!! What a way to travel. I really like doing that. It's a really relaxing way to travel. When I drive what ends up being over 13 hours, it's a very hard thing to do alone. So I think I may do this more often than drive on my own to Missouri. It was a neat experiment that really turned out to be good.
Enough of this. IT's late. But I do want to leave you with this video!!! It's really funny and it's from one of MY favorite bands, that I just happend to see LIVE in November! See YA!!!
