Yes, just like for all women, it can be completely normal for your period to ebb-and-flow as far as the length of the cycle (normal ranges are 21-35 days; you mentioned your usual is 28 day cycle-length); also what can change from cycle-to-cycle is volume/amount of blood, color of blood, duration of period, etc.
If you miss a period, this can be normal, too. If you do not begin your period within the next few weeks, a quick call to your Gynecologist's office (do you have a doctor, since you should ideally be going on an annual basis?) would also help put your mind at ease. Doctors usually are not concerned if a woman missed 1 or 2 periods in-a-row (and are certain they are not pregnant), so it really is that common for women to either miss a period entirely, or be late (or even early) for their period.
