Back from LA!

Well that was a quick trip!

Basically, the whole trip was a super fast whirlwind. We landed around 8pm and got picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hotel. We checked in, got settled and made our way to the hotel restaurant for some dinner. It had been a long day of traveling so we pretty much went right to bed, in anticipation of waking up early to get ready for a day full of appointments. Wednesday was quite possibly one of the longest days of all time. We started the day with a 9am appointment at our agency where I had to take the MMPI and then Sam and I both had a lengthy interview with a psychologist. Have you ever taken the MMPI? It's an online test of 567 questions (no joke, that's legit how many there were), used to analyze your personality and see if you'd be a good fit or if you might be a little on the crazy side. Luckily, I was told I passed. Ha! We finished there around 11:30 and uber-ed over to the fertility clinic (in a Tesla! Pretty sweet if you ask my husband lol) for our 1:00 appointment there. Because it was across town, it took a while to get there and left us little time to eat lunch. We ended up walking next door to the clinic and ate at the buffet upstairs in the middle of Whole Foods. haha! The fertility clinic took blood and urine samples from both of us and then the nurse practitioner did a pretty intense medical screening on me that included a pap smear, catheter, balloon full of saline and an ultra sound. I'm not really sure what all they were checking for, but I can tell you it was pretty thorough, haha.

While we were at the doctor, I got a call letting me know that our flight that was supposed to depart for Dallas at 6:00pm had been delayed and wouldn't be leaving until 9:30pm, which meant we wouldn't be home until 3am. We tried to get switched to a different flight but nothing appeared to be working out the way we needed it to, so alas, we sat at the aiport from 3:30 until 9:30. One would think LAX would have more exciting restaurants in their terminals, but no such luck.. we were bored out of our minds. haha Not sure which was worse, the boredom at the airport or waking up the next morning at a normal hour after not getting home from the longest day ever until 4am. I'm yawning again just thinking about it.
