Safe at home

Yesterday was so great. Besides waking up around 4:30 and vommiting until about 8:30, I think it may have been nerves.
Bob's parents came over around 9:00 to look at Bob's car and to get ready to go to the airport. Bob's dad has decided to have the car towed back to his house so he can replace the engine as he thinks that is the problem. They drove down two vehicles and left one for Bob to use. So now we have 3 cars at our house, I'm glad Bob knows nothing about cars as he could turn into his dad and just have lots of cars sitting around.

Anyway we went to the airport and got there probably about 10 minutes before they got in. I was talking to the group leaders boyfriend and all of a sudden I saw Bob coming down the hall. I couldn't control myself and just ran and jumped on him. His parents missed him coming in as they even had brought the video camera. The bags were there by the time we made it downstairs and we were out of the airport quickly.
We came back to our house so Bob could take a real shower and get out of clothes that he had been wearing for a month. We went out for pizza and back home to do laundry and unpack. Bob did such a good job with presents! Not that he needed to bring me anything but he went all out. He brought me lots of Bangles, a green Sarlwal which is beautiful, a pink top, 3 pashminas, and some chocolates from Duty Free. He also got himself a Kurta. (Don't kill me b/c I can't spell Indian words okay!) It was funny about his story of buying that and the pants are absolutely huge!
We went out for Thai food last night with his parents and then came back to watch the Twins game and look at his pictures. I am a little disappointed with his pictures. I hope people from his group will have some too. But the pics he did have were great. And interesting.

It is so nice to have him home. The month went by fast but it felt like he was gone for 10 years.
I'm working today and tomorrow and then will have Friday-Sunday to spend with him. I honestly do not plan on leaving his side, I hope he doesn't mind.

Oh and by the way, the post I did about his trip and what happened was completely wrong. He can tell the story better, especially the part about having rocks thrown at them and a police escort to the airport. The good news is that Bob would like to go back to India, so he isn't scarred for life, although his father sure doesn't want him to go back.
