I’m returning to England. Actually, as a matter of fact. I am sitting in the Milwaukee airport right now. The journey started off with me missing my first flight. Actually, no, that’s not where it started. It started at home in Wausau with being pulled over in my own drive way! After flirting my way out of a ticket, I left with my wonderful boyfriend Nathan, my lovely roommate Oliver, and a fantastic new friend Abby. We traversed on our journey to Milwaukee, pounding the energy drinks, lady gaga and wicked cd’s until we reached our destination: Motel 6. This motel, oh man, so scrubby! it started off with us being told I booked the wrong date. Apparently I booked friday night instead of saturday… So they, thankfully, were able to get us a room saturday still. However, this room had one queen size bed for 4 people, and the toilet didn’t flush very well as the handle was disconnected from it! So, I called to switch rooms to a two bed. This room was indeed equipped with two beds but the bathroom door did not close without first lifting it! Classy. The next day started off better.. Aside from a fantastic morning waking up in Nathan’s arms, the four of us went to the dennys down the street for breakfast. There we met up with my good friend Autumn who I haven’t seen in quite a while!! It was great to catch up with her though!! Love ya darling!

We finally made it to the airport about 1pm. This was by far the hardest thing so far!! Saying goodbye to Nathan was heartbreaking!! I am not quite sure how I managed to not shed my eye make up with tears.. Perhaps it was the intensity of his hugs and kisses that helped me remain compiled? I’m not sure, but thank you, baby!! Of course saying goodbye to oliver and abby was very hard as well!!

Following the difficult goodbyes I proceeded into the airport, trembling with anxiety and a flux of torn emotions from the separation. I made my way to the check in booth where the lady advised me my flight was moved 3 hours earlier… That I missed it already! the words struck me with horror and I could feel my thoughts beginning to race to strands of panic, anxiety, fear. The airline lady did a fantastic job of redirecting me to a flight to chicago, where from I will fly from there to mancheste, as opposed from philedelphia.

I marshalled my way through the airport, past TSA and into the waiting terminal. I write this as I am watching our plane land, and our baggage being loaded. They just called for boarding, so I will depart.. Literally! Hah. More coming soon!!
