We are now in our new home in Nebraska. We had an extremely early morning Thursday to get ready, catch a shuttle, drive an hour to the airport, check-in for flight and make our way to wait for take off. We woke up at 0245 and flight took off at 0810. The start to our long day! The flights weren't terrible at 9 1/2 hours + 1 hour 15 minute. The kids weren't terrible. Xander was whiny and Sterling was demanding. We had a long lay over in Chicago before boarding our short flight to Nebraska. We found the kids fly zone play area and let them play for almost 2 hours. They LOVED it! We grabbed a meal at an Italian restaurant before boarding. It was alright. Too pricey for the quality of food. But then, that's airport food for ya! Our last flight Sterling ended up getting sick. Just as we touched down she started vomiting everywhere! I didn't have anything ready of course and so my hands tried catching it. Nasty! Finally I was able to kick the diaper bag to Nick to have him get something for me to clean the mess up. The stewardess decided safety was more important and the bag needed to be stowed under the seat. Um, do you not see a baby throwing up?! I could have choked her! Really. I guess I didn't see safety a problem since we were already landed. We got off, met our friends who were helping us lug our crap to the hotel, picked up the rental, and then took a venture to find our dog. What an adventure! This place takes the dogs to the other side of the flight line instead of putting them with the special baggage area. Really, how much more? We couldn't find it for the life of us, but luckily our friends found it right away and guided us there since the darn United rep couldn't assist. She was extremely rude! We landed at 5, found Hawkeye at 7. Crazy!
We had plans to go back to the hotel and then go pick up my car at the dealership. But, since Sterling ended up sick and not feeling herself, and we were all shot, we just ended up cleaning up and going to bed. Not even dinner. We woke up Friday morning to a yummy hotel breakfast. Not joking either. There was biscuits, gravy, ham, muffins, cinnamon rolls, and of course all the normal continental breakfast foods. After we all got filled up, we got ready to go to our new home. At first I loved it. But after sitting around in an empty house I started seeing stuff I didn't like. I'll have a post dedicated to the house soon. We'll just say that we're glad we didn't buy it.
Friday and Saturday were spent getting stuff for the house. It's like we have to start all over. Hoping our next move will be stateside and much easier on the budget.
Sunday we took a drive to see the area a little. It was nice. It was 3 in the afternoon and traffic was not crazy at all! I think I can get used to this place!
Today we are expecting our first shipment from Germany. It should be here in about an hour. It's our small shipment, but it has a lot of the kitchen stuff. Which is the important stuff!
We're happy to be in Nebraska!
Have a great day!
