A funny thing happened on the way to PHX....

I just cannot get away from RAIN!!! The hurricane weather actually followed me to none other than PHX! After the constant rainy weather in FL I was really looking forward to getting back home to AZ for a little dry heat and sunshine fix. When I flew in it was beautiful. The sky was blue, the mountains were amazing, and my flight was on time. I spent the day working actually, painting a room for the little boy I used to nanny, Joshy. It was soo much fun and the room turned out very cute! (it was a fireman theme). Jeremy was on schedule to fly in last night at about 10:15 p.m. so I headed to the airport to pick him up. HOWEVER, as I was leaving to go get him, an awe jaw-dropping lightening show filled the sky and the rain started pouring in. The winds were high, trees came down and the streets were already starting to flood (since it hardly rains here, there is not the best drainage system here on the streets)! Once I finally got to the airport the monitors had been turned off and I was told the planes were circling above hoping to land at some point. Finally, I received a call from Jeremy and he was in none other than LAS VEGAS! The plane had been diverted there because it was running low on fuel and due to the high winds, the PHX control tower had been evacuated. They had hoped to fill back up and head on back to PHX but unfortunately, the flight was just canceled. He had to spend the night at the airport and I am hoping he will be able to arrive this morning! The airport is still a mess, the news has been reporting they are still in the process of cleaning up the runway and such. Thankfully, Jeremy was in good spirits through the whole deal and I got to my friends house safe about 1:00 a.m. Oh, the irony of life!
