Life: Surprise Trip to Phoenix

As you could guess, I've been a bit busy and unable to blog as often as I have wanted to lately. Last week, I came down with a stomach bug and was out of school for two days. I did feel better on Friday but was so weak from not eating the day before that I couldn't even stand up long enough to take a shower. This really couldn't have come at a worse time because A) a sub didn't pick up the job on Friday so my class had to be split between the other two monolingual first grade teachers, and B) I'd planned a surprise trip to Phoenix to attend my little sister's baby shower. So, after sleeping pretty much all day Friday and with Pepto in hand, we (Lana, Newly, and I) boarded our plane at midnight on Friday and headed to Phoenix.

It rained the entire time we were there but the surprise was successful and it was so nice to get to spend some time with my mom, little sister & brother, and step-dad. We didn't really do much - dinner, played Fun Run (anybody else?), and watched movies - but it was just what the doctor ordered. Our flight home was delayed by an hour so we took off at 3am on Sunday morning and landed in DFW at 6am. Needless to say, Sunday was a very lazy day and we were real tired on Monday. If anybody needs some cheap flights, we used Spirit Airlines and only paid $117 round-trip. I am sure the departure and arrival times had something to do with the cheap price but it was worth it for us.
