Stefanie Monschau ARRIVES!

Stefanie (Steffi) Monschau from Germany is our exchange student this year. She is the first of about 70 kids to arrive at the Idaho Falls Airport in Idaho Falls, ID. Unfortunatly, it didn't start off as smoothly as hoped. Steffi was scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 11:09 PM.  At 10:22PM as we were en route to the airport, I got a message on Facebook from Steffi saying, "Hi Joanna, I missed my flight to Idaho Falls. The Plane from Boston to Denver arrived too late. Tomorrow at 9:45 am departs my flight to Idaho Falls."
Somewhere along the line I got in my mind she was at the Salt Lake Airport, so at 10:30 this morning I was anxiously waiting for her to get off the plane with the other 50 passengers aboard the flight from Salt Lake. By 11:30 I was in a panic. I was sure she slept thru the unloading and reloading of the plane and was back on her way to Salt Lake. I was on the phone with the flights team, calling out a search party, as she walks through the terminal doors with an adorable grin on her face and backpack slung over her shoulder. WHAT A RELIEF!!!! Come to find out, she never even mentioned Salt Lake, I just made that part up in my mind.

OOPS! So glad you finally made it to Idaho Steffi!!!!
