Home sweet home...

Okay, so we have been home for a little over 2 months now...and my mom has been bugging me ever since to finally finish this blog! I guess its time to end this adventure, but don't worry! I know there will be more to come!

Amanda and I arrived in Chicago and took our first steps on American land after 5 months of traveling abroad. Even though we were still a 4 hour plane ride from home, it felt like we'd finally made it. We made our way through customs (no more having to carry around our passports), changed our outfits (we wanted to show off our new dresses), re-checked out luggage, and boarded our last plane of the trip...

I don't really remember the flights from that day, but I do remember the feeling once we landed at Lindbergh Field and finally made it to San Diego. Neither of us could help but smile. Do you ever get that feeling? It really is like there's a hanger stuck in your mouth. I was so nervous to walk down the escalator and see our families standing at the bottom of it, holding up HUGE welcome home signs. My heart was beating so fast as we made our way into their arms.

Once we picked up our backpacks from baggage claim, we headed off to our first meal back in the states...IN N OUT!! Yummy :) Unfortunately, Robby (Amanda's brother) didn't make it to dinner after the airport, but Clay met up with us and welcome Amanda and me home. We enjoyed our delicious burgers and fries, then for the first time in 5 months, Amanda and I went our separate ways- tear :'( . It was LOVELY to sleep in my huge comfy bed, but I sure did miss Amanda and all the other wonders that come with sleeping in hostels!

Thanks for following us along out adventures abroad, and I can't wait til the next time we have something for you to follow!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE :)
