So my birthday was last Friday and it didn't get off to a great start. My Mom and Minaz had decided to come to Tupelo for the weekend because we didn't see each other for Christmas and they had never seen my new house here. I called them early that morning because they had an 8:30 flight to catch and we were a little concerned about the weather in Memphis because it was predicted to ice and sleet all day. But you never know what the weather will do next so we didn't think it would be a huge problem....boy, were we wrong!!
When they got to Houston getting ready for the next leg of their flight...it was cancelled. So they were pushed back to the 1:30 flight instead. Well mid morning they called and said that all flights were cancelled into and out of Memphis for the next two days. I was very upset because I looked forward to seeing my parents all week, and if you know me you know how I am when my Mom is coming to town. Well, in our family we don't let this stuff get us down so we moved on to plan B...which was traveling to my grandparent's house in Arcadia, La. It was six hours for all of us to drive; so I loaded up my car, packed my bags, and headed south. I called Alan and he was disappointed that they weren't coming here, but he knew how much it meant for me to see my Mom and Minaz...he is such a great man!! He decided not to come because he had to work until 5:30 Friday, and it was a really long drive to just come on Saturday and turn around and come back home on Sunday; plus we would have had to come back in seperate cars and that's boring.
Other than that little dilemma, the weekend was great. We didn't do much but we had a blast. Went shopping in Ruston, toured around town to see what had changed, and went out to supper with the grandparents. It was a fantastic 3 days and I hope we can do it again really soon. Happy 28th Birthday To Me!! Next year, who knows what will happen...you always have to be ready for Plan B or even C with this family!!
