Alia has Landed...in Chicago

[Scott here]

We have arrived in the States! Alia became a U.S. citizen the moment our plane landed. I made sure to shake her hand and give her a big salute to commemorate the occasion!

We are sitting at Gate C4 right now waiting to catch the 4:15 flight to St. Louis, where we will find Angela and Luca waiting to welcome us home. Only a short trip to Carbondale, and our own beds!
