we made it!!!

After 3 full days in the Raleigh airport, 3 nights at the wonderful Days Inn, we finally made it on the first flight out to Chicago. I almost cried, tears of joy this time. The first flight out of Chicago left a few hours later, there was only 3 seats left. I made one of the hardest decisions of my life and sent my two boys on the flight all by them selves. They made it safe and sound around noon on Wednesday. My dad was able to pick then up right at the gate, thanks dad. Kali and I sat at the Chicago airport for 7 hours waiting for the next flight. We found a kids playground there it was kind of babyish as Kali put it but it did waste 20 minutes of our time. We tried the famous Chicago pizza, it was so gross we threw out 3/4 of our $8 personal pan pizza. It's no Little Caesar's. Then at 5:45 we were told the best news we had heard in 4 days, we got on!!!!! There was only one seat left so all four of us would have not made it on that flight either. We are here and the last 4 days are just a blur. I can't wait to see everyone.
