Three words, plain and simple: What a day.
Woke up at 6 to go to O'Hare. I got there at around 7:50, and look at the screen to find out her flight was coming in 15 minutes early. So then began the huge waiting game. My heart was racing at incredible speeds as I waited outside the gate. Around 8:50, I saw a sight my eyes never in a million years thought they would see. Her walking towards me waving. In a moment of awkwardness, we both fumbled to get to each other, and finally did. Just what a rush.
Right now, she is taking a nap. 11 hour flights have that effect on people. I took an hour nap. But we haven't done too much sightseeing yet, but have been spending time together. And it's just been great.
Unfortunately, neither one of us properly estimated exactly how bitter the cold in Chitown is. While she was napping, I went to Walgreens to buy each of us scarves, and her some earmuffs and gloves. All in all, I think we have it pretty much covered.
I can go into much more detail later on, when I have more time to. But believe me, this trip, despite us being crazy enough to go Chicago in the dead of winter, is well worth it. Just seeing her is amazing. And that's all I've been asking for.
