We arrived in Chicago and were happy to learn that it was only an hour layover. We basically walked to the complete opposite side of O’Hare (which is a really cool airport I might add—probably my favorite so far) to our gate. Then everyone changed and freshened up to meet our families in Indy. Two girls had separate flights so we said goodbye to them and boarded the plane.
I was sitting next to some dorky kid. I couldn’t tell who was older—he or I—but he made for interesting conversation none the less. As soon as we stopped going up, the pilot announced we were starting our descent. It was so quick.
When the plane came to a stop my phone rang. It was Maggie asking me if the plane had landed yet because she was in passing period and wanted to know if I'd gotten home safe. I started to get a little suspicious at that because she shouldn’t have been calling.
As I stepped off the plane my heart was beating so fast. I was one of the first to get through the terminal and my mom was the first one I saw, with a sign saying welcome home Jess. I tried to walk but I was too excited so I ended up running to her. Dad was walking up to us and I turned and saw Angie and JD! It was so nice to see them and then who runs up on me but my two sisters! The little tricksters had known they were going to come all along. It was so exciting to see them again.
I was really happy that I had my whole family there, and Angie had said she would probably come which was awesome but I didn’t expect JD to come at all so that was a very pleasant surprise.
My family, JD, Angie, and Craig’s family all went to brekky/lunch at Steak n Shake on the west side. We had a crazy woman server but it was nice to have a melting pot of sorts with my real family and Australian one.
When we left they took me by the farm to see my new house. It was interesting. I hated how the barn looked from the street. Its old and stuff but the land was pretty cool. The house has a lot of work to be done. I saw my new room, it has a pretty view.
When we went home we all sat up in my room and mom, Mag and I fell asleep on my bed.
Then I showered and Jessi came over. It was so good to see her again and she even brought me flowers! We all went to the senior musical that night and I saw my grandparents, church people and school people—even Miz H.. so I gave her Sydney ornament for an early birthday gift.
The show was good. Funny. Abby looked hot as usual in her pirate garb. Jessi came over afterwards and we attempted to just catch eachother up until about 1 am when she left. I don’t choose to be in Indiana over Aussie but its nice to be home. I missed everyone.
Maggie, Me, Mom, Abby in Indy
And so ends Jessica’s Australian Adventure!
