My Pumpkin

Nanna and Nannu

Chris and I had been talking and trying to plan a visit out to Omaha, NE to visit his Nanna and Nannu (grandma and grandpa). Well for me it would be the first time that I would meet them. You see they weren't able to travel to come to our wedding, which was really hard on everyone. So we tried a couple of options but with Chris's work it just seemed like the time was always wrong. Then one day he comes home and says okay we can go this weekend if you get it set up. WOW! Talk about last minute planning, finding a flight, taking the time off work for me, making sure that his Aunt Vicky and Uncle Tom could house us, just lots to do in a short amount of time. But I did it. I was so excited about finally being able to meet them that I wasn't going to let it pass us by.

So Saturday came and I was all packed and ready to go, just waiting for Chris to get home so that we could take Marta to the airport. As everyone knows, there is always a hiccup that happens whenever you travel and ours happened right away. We got to the airport and our flight was delayed, which meant that we wouldn't make our connecting flight into Omaha. Well luckily for us our lay over was going to be in Fort Worth, TX, where are good friends Maria and Joe live. So we gave them a quick call and asked if we could pop in on them that night while we wait for our next flight the next morning. It was great :) Our trip now included seeing friends that we hadn't seen in awhile and meeting his Nanna and Nannu. Even though it was short, our visit with Maria and Joe was wonderful.

So finally we made it into Omaha, NE and Uncle Tom comes to pick us up from the airport. His Nanna and Nannu, at this point, didn't even know that we were planning on coming so we met up with Aunt Vicky and them at a restaurant, where his Nanna screamed when she saw us around the corner. It was a great surprise for everyone. The rest of the few days that we got to spend there went great! During the day, we just spent time with them at their home and ate lunch with them. Then in the evening we would go back to Uncle Tom and Aunt Vicky's to have dinner with them. The time we had with everyone was short, but I wouldn't have traded it for anything. I hope that Chris and I can do that again very soon.
