It's a Christmas miracle!

Ok, I exaggerate, but to me this is some of the best news in my life lately........for anyone who may have read my post asking Jen812 and Aegis about transportation in Boston as we had no one to pick us up from the airport, I have an update. Likely none of you really care about the trials and tribulations of my life, but I am so happy I have to share.

Got a call from MIL last night. A family friend who lives in Roslindale is going to come and get us at the airport. Yippee!!!!! She is the person who is letting us use her car seat while we are there. She has two little boys that are older than ours so she has a seat that isn't being used anymore. OMG.....I am so excited that we will not have to take the Silver Line (bus) to South Station to catch a train out of the city to the burbs. This is the best Christmas gift ever!

Ok, now my trip isn't looking as terrible, although I am still nervous about traveling with a three month old and being up there in such cold weather. I would love for Ethan to have a white Christmas for his first, however I don't want it to be a blizzard or anything. Two years ago while up there for Christmas, my return flight was canceled (and H and I were traveling home on different flights and his wasn't canceled) due to the horrible weather that came through and I was stranded at the IL's for extra days without H!

Ok, sorry so long....I am just so HAPPY!!!!!! A ride from the airport......I feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off my shoulders.

Why was your family being lame and not picking you up? I missed the back story.

My ILs have to work and we land at 11am. We bought our tickets back in April and assumed there would be someone available to pick us up. However since the time we bought our tickets, my BIL and SIL moved out of the area and my ILs can't get out of work to drive into the city and get us at that time.

Okay, that makes more sense.
