So let's get you caught up. How about it?
I'll start with our last day in Dom. April 21st was a night to remember. Kyle came home after his test saying "well it's finished, I can't believe it." Feeling very exhausted, excited, and anticipating leaving the island the next morning for good, life in this moment couldn't be more rewarding. He was done with his first two years of med school. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!
GOING HOME
The lovely adventure back home started April 22nd.
Our experiences at the Dom airport was far from perfect, but predictable to say the least. We checked in 2hrs prior to our flight.
(thinking we're way ahead of the game nothing bad would happen, right? WRONG!)
They put us immediately on standby when we received our plane tickets. Needless to say, Kyle and I had a wave of frustration hit us like a bus. We weren't the only ones that this happened to. There were nine of us that didn't get on the flight. We were all bummed out and just wanting so badly to be HOME already. Only 4 of us were lucky enough to get on the next flight out of Dom later that afternoon. We were two out of the lucky four that got to go. We all had to stay the night in Miami, but American Airlines paid for it and comped us $2,400 in vouchers so it ended up being a blessing in disguise.
We made it home safe and sound. Back to our sweet Texas that has felt so far away for so long.
Once we finally arrived in Texas it was GO GO GO from the sec we hit the ground. Out to eat with the Phillips clan, then off to Kyle's cousin's wedding reception.
Easter
My Mother-in-law Kym put together a lovely Easter fiesta grill out for all of our loved ones. The Phillips', Binghams, Hopkins, Morton's, and Heards came together to celebrate the Lords day.
Stay tuned for my trip to Maine and on us moving to Miami ;)
Yea! Congrats. I'm sure it feels good to be back in the USA. Hope all is well.
