It's amazing how quickly things can happen once you get on the right path. Today, David made another first happen for us - his first trip to Montana! The trip was completely spontaneous just like my trip to Miami last weekend. The ticket got booked around 4:00 pm Saturday, and he was at the airport Sunday morning in New York by 6am! Needless to say, David didn't sleep after the New York gig - just went straight to the airport and straight into my arms in Montana.
You might be wondering why I am blogging while we are spending our time together. Well, that's easy - he's snoring away right next to me :) Between no sleep, the excitement, and the introductions to numerous people this afternoon, he's exhausted! I can say, watching him peacefully sleep next to me while we are in my country, is amazing. He can sleep for hours if he needs - he's finally by my side.
Plus, I don't want to ever forget the excitement of the day - anticipation of him boarding his flights on time, trying not to throw up all morning from complete anxiety, watching my parents be just as anxious and excited, trying to stay calm but constantly watching my clock, and then, the phone call as he has just boarded the plane to Bozeman. Of course, this was followed by extreme impatience as the clock moved closer to 2pm, seeing him walk out the airplane, getting to love him up, seeing my parents for the first time in over 5 years, watching his eyes as he sees Montana for the first time, introducing him to Ian, watching the kids eye him with suspicion as they warm up to him, introducing him to Leah, having a celebratory drink with the family, taking him to my friend's daughter's birthday party where all my friends happened to be (they had NO idea he was in town), oh, the list goes on and on.
I've been waiting for today for almost six years, and it's been a great day. I'm looking forward to three more days with him here, and then more trips to follow as he already LOVES it here :) Montana and Haiti have mountains in common and thankfully, we have an abundance of them where I live!
