I'll meet her in ATL in 14 hours and then we fly home from there... I'll be the guy holding the huge teddy bear in the airport if anyone wonders... :dance:

her flight was 45+ min late and immigration and customs too almost 2 hours... she had a 3 hour layover.. that left 15 minutes to get from international to domestic with a bathroom stop along the way.. we made it.. We spent most of the last 2 days getting settled and unpacking.. I see a combination of homesickness and jet lag kicking in this afternoon... just part of the journey that everyone goes through I suspect...

Thanks everyone... only 38 days until we tie the knot...
