the long road home...

So we're going back to my hometown for Christmas today... everything has been set in stone for over two months now and we were good to go. Then I get a voicemail this morning from Southwest airlines letting me know that our flight was cancelled... Yes. They called me about T minus 7 hours before my flight was to take off to tell me "Sorry - you're not really going home, sucker!"

Luckily they had the next flight out available - granted it's a midnight arrival, but at least we'll be home sweet home for the holidays.
