Welcome Home Champ!

Imagine you've just arrived back in Seattle after spending the better part of a week in Arizona with your family. Your plane lands thirty minutes early so as you wait at baggage claim you're in no hurry because your ride is still on the way. You pass the time with a little people watching and smile to yourself at the little girl in pink sweatpants who is also rocking pink cowboy boots. You send a few text messages and as you close your phone and store it away, you look up to see a dear friend standing across the baggage conveyor belt.

Now this is surprising all on its own considering she wasn't supposed to be picking you up. And since when do people come into the airport to meet you anymore? (Hint: They don't.) But what made it even more surprising was that she was holding a bouquet of flowers and also a giant poster.

Surprising. And embarrassing.

The sign said "Welcome Home Champ!" and was plastered with photos of the ultimate* dreamboat: Tim Riggins.

The people around you must have thought you were crazy because you were laughing out loud and saying things like, "Shut. Up." and "Seriously?" to what appeared to be no one. She made her way through the crowd and surely they put two and two together during your photo shoot.

And lucky you because your ever so thoughtful friend even offered to carry your bag so that YOU could carry the flowers and sign around the airport. All in all, it was the best welcome home you've ever received.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!

*Ryan Reynolds might be the true ultimate dreamboat, but we'll just go with it.
