The Big Reunion

The BIG day has arrived and I'm Nervous and Scared all at the same time.

My flight, scheduled to depart at 12:10 pm, was delayed leaving Atlanta, Georgia due to a mechanical problem. I was finally able to get on another flight that left at 1:10 pm.

The flight to Minneapolis, Minnesota took about 2 hours. I sat there thinking about what our first impressions and actions were going to be. I wondered if we would be as shy as we were 15 years ago when we last saw each other. I was even worried if we would recognize one another when I got off the plane.

When the flight crew announced that we were decending into the Minneapolis area and would be landing shortly I started getting really nervous. My hands became sweaty and I started getting butterflies in my stomach. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming and to be sure that what was about to happen was really happening. I couldn't grasp the reality that I was only minutes away from seeing Christa again after so many years.

When my plane landed I was so nervous, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack. I took a few deep breaths and realized in a few moments I was going to be reunited with the love of my life. I remember saying to myself that wishes really do come true and thanked God for allowing this day to finally come.
