What an adventure...

We spent another full day at the airport on Wednesday. The only way we were going to get seats was to break up and send Hannah alone. I was surprised that she wasn't nervous at all. In fact, it made her feel so grown-up. It was nerve-wracking to send my 9 year old on an airplane across country with hopes of someone on the other end to get her. I got a call a few hours later from someone who said they were holding her for ransom. Luckily it was my Mom who had her and to tell me she was safe! What a relief! Danielle and I did get seats on the very last flight of the day so I was happy to finally be on our way! As I was staring out the window of the airplane I noticed the Mountains that I have missed so much. They seemed bigger than usual. What an amazing world we live in!

12 hour Vacation!

Today was suppose to be the beginning of our two week vacation in Utah. Brent dropped us off at the airport at 7:00 am in order for us to catch an 8:30 flight out of Dallas. We were flying stand-by so of course we had to play the waiting game. We were so excited when they called our name on the first flight but it happened that they only had two seats available and we needed three. So, we waited for the the next flight out at 12:40. Bumped. 2:20, Bumped. The last flight out was at 5:42 and we were told that Hannah was old enough to fly unassisted so that was our next plan. If we couldn't all fly together and there was at least one opening, Hannah could fly and meet up with Grandma Becky and Carl and we would catch up in a few days when the flights looked better. They did have one seat open and our name was called. When they asked how old Hannah was they told me I had to fill out paperwork and they didn't have the time to do that. So.....she didn't get on! Both girls started crying! The girls had been pretty patient all day and they just couldn't stand the thought of going home. So, we go get our luggage. Surprise! It's already in Utah! So, tomorrow we get to do this all over again and hopefully today just wasn't our day!
