Not to sound cocky but... I have arrived ;)

I landed in D.C. safely two nights ago, hours after I originally planned to arrive. I missed my original 4:30 flight and caught the 9:10 flight afterward. So for about 4 hours I lingered at the Atlanta airport. It wasn't bad at all. I like Hartsfield. It's so beautiful and...well, let me just post some photos so you can get the picture --no pun intended. I had some lunch while I was there, which was really my first meal of the day; I had Chinese. For the rest of the I time snapped pics and lingered around in the shops at the airport. I spent most of my time at one book store called Simply-Books sipping on cold icy (and free ! :P) water from Starbucks and browsing through some of the things they had. After my time was finally spent, I made my way to the security checkout. I rushed as I placed my things in the gray bins, took off my jacket, shoes and belt, and of course, put on my socks (I Hate stepping on foreign floors) . I was kind of in a frantic--but still happy--state since I felt, and indeed was starting to hold up the people behind me. I made it through and headed towards my gate, which was a different route than what I remembered, but I made it there without getting lost. Withing little time I was on my flight.

These are pictures of the airport's atrium. You can see some of the restaurants and some of the upper levels of the airport as well.

There are more shops and restaurants around on the main level but I didn't take any pictures of those.

The last picture is of the new Marriott Courtyard Experience space they have.

Though I wasn't too bothered about missing my flight (strangely, the night/day before I left, I felt as if I would. Probably because I had to pack late)I did initially miss my original seat since it was closer to the front of the plane, and therefore more convenient. But the flight went well. I enjoyed my complimentary (although extremely cheap) headphones, cranApple juice, and "gourmet" pretzels. For the rest of the flight I meditated on a verse that held a message for me, set my mind in place for my destination, and fell asleep as I listened to music on the on-flight XM radio and then my MP3 player. I woke up right around landing time.

You may remember "TP" from this post. Well, he's the one that picked me up from the airport. Knowing His nature, and having spoken to him earlier in the day, I internally apprehended yet prayed that the ride to my sister's place would be smooth, or at least not too bad. And, to my surprise, it was! I know I prayed about it, but with the way the prior phone calls had gone, I was afraid things would turn out "strife-y". Afterward when I had realized how relatively well the ride had gone, I was like "Wow...huh". *Siiigh* thanks God for always having my back ;D. My first night was good too. There wasn't any substantial or negative tension and things went smoothly. ...One day/moment at a time, *sigh* :)

I have a few plans and potential plans for today so I'm off to do that now.

Also, I added pictures (not personal ones, expressive) to my last post (& made some grammatical corrections).

Later! ;)
