Homeward Bound- The AK Movie


Today I'm flying to the States
for a short visit home
to be pampered by some really amazing women
who are spoiling our babies with showers.

{We feel pretty loved.}

I'm flying solo on this leg
until Tyler arrives later next week.

While that may seem pretty standard,
it's actually a thought that is rocking my world.

I've flown these long-hauls flights so many times alone over the years.

Whether I was flying home from a summer in Africa in college,
flying to/from a trade show in Italy for work,
or heading to the States while Tyler was in classes at Oxford,
I'm pretty used to doing this on my own.

So the idea that this will probably be the last time I do this journey alone 
for the unforeseeable future 
is kinda rocking my world.

I made this video last year 
for an American Airlines promo last year
and, for some silly reason,
it still gets me when I watch it.



Something about traveling, family, heading home, Coldplay...
well, it just combines so many things that I love in one short little clip.

Bon Voyage!

Is it bad luck to wish that for yourself? 

Oh well! 

With as much as my back aches while sitting these days, 
I'm taking all the self-prescribed well wishes I can get. :)

  8. I remember you posting that video before, but I don't think I watched it that time. It's so cute! And shows me that I need to start doing some little videos when we travel. This summer we went on three different trips, and I took 1,000,000 pictures, but no videos. Bummer!

    Enjoy this quiet flight. Your life is sure going to change a lot, but it will be amazing!

  10. So much fun looking at old videos! I was just cleaning out my phone and watching old videos from forever ago, and one was a commercial for a cleaning product I had made with friends, and it had me crying with laughter at the end of it!

    I mentioned you in a new post on my blog regarding bloggers that inspire me. Hope you'll take a moment to check it out!

    Have fun at home, and a safe flight both ways!!

  21. Buon viaggio!! I live in Italy with my boyfriend, but have been traveling back to the States every few months (stupid visa, thanks a lot) and I hate hate hate those long flights by myself. It's amazing how much better a flight is when you have your person there with you. Hope you have a lovely shower!
