Garrett Home!!!

Okay so Garrett's homecoming was not how we imagined it being. His plane did not get into Atlanta until midnight. First, there was a snow storm that his plane had to fly around and then North Korea threatened that they could not guarantee the safety of any plane flying near their air space so his plane had to go a different course again to avoid being close to N. Korea. That made him miss his flight to Atlanta. He then had to fly into LA and then to Atlanta. Luckily he was able to call my parents from Korea in time to stop us all from going up to Atlanta that morning. My poor parents had to drive to Atlanta that night though and pick him up and then drive home so they did not get in until about 4:00 am. We let them have a few hours to recover before we went over in the morning at about 9:30. It was so nice to see Garrett and to have him here in the USA. It is taking him a while to adjust. He is having a hard time sleeping at night since Russia is about 12 hours different from us. My mom and I went shopping with him yesterday to try and get him a more mature wardrobe (he left when he was 19, still a teenager, and now he is 21, a man). While we were shopping Garrett said when he hears strangers speaking English, his first thought is "Americans!" How funny! It may take him a while to get used to being home. We are sure loving it though!
