Our alarms went off at 6am and we were up and rolling. We got ready, said our goodbyes and then were whisked to the... train station. That was a different experience for me. I've been on a train before, but it was when I was little and it went super slow; it was more of a scenic thing for kids in my hometown. Anyway, we were the fifth stop and then there was a shuttle to take us to the airport. As we were waiting for the shuttle, a lady turned to us and asked us if we were from Michigan (we were wearing Mackinaw sweaters). We were surprised but answered yes and had a great conversation with her both while waiting for the shuttle and while on it. She's from this side of the state, but further south. So we checked in and got in line for security, and guess who was behind us.. that lady (Beth). Once again we started talking and when she found out we both worked at a church and with kids her eyes lit up. "Really?!" she said.. and it went from there. It turns out that her daughter went to Cornerstone University and her son is a pastor at some church in Michigan. It was definitely a neat conversation. After we got through security, we grabbed something to eat and waited to board the plane. As we were sitting there Caleb joked about how funny it would be if Beth was sitting by us on the plane. Well.. guess what. She sat directly in front of Caleb.. haha.. we would've talked some more, but the drone of the plane was hard to hear over and she looked like she had work to do. So after the plane landed, we told her it was nice to meet her and went our separate ways. After running into a friend at the airport we got our bag and headed out.
After a stop at Target, we headed for Muskegon, made a few stops there and headed home. We got home to a painted house which looks awesome (thanks to Caleb's parents!) and then came back to where we're staying. We put our bags upstairs and sat down. And sat there. After a busy weekend it felt really good to just sit there (...and watch some NCIS, of course). We got to bed late and today was long. Up early, work, class, work, and then annual business meeting. To top it off, I woke up with a headache that never left. Soooo it was a long day after a long weekend and I'm just plain spent.
So, here's some pictures from the train ride and flight home.. I'm going to bed :)
While in the train
Gorgeous sunrise from the train
For most of the flight we could see four things out the window: the wing of the plane, the sun, white, and blue
You could see this river until the horizon
Some clouds just floating around as we hurry on our way..
