I'm thankful for...

wonderful family
great friends
fall colors
the best husband
two very cute dogs (in lieu of children!)
my job
Marcin's hard work and dedication to school
our home
the gospel
cell phones (of which I could not live without)


So I felt like my last couple of posts were a little bit on the 'venting' side so I thought I'd try something a little different. I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but close enough! I truly am so grateful for the millions of blessings in our lives and this list is only a few and in no particular order, but it reminds me of how much we really have. It always seems to be easier to find the negative things so I just thought writing a few of the great things in my life would remind me to be a little more positive!!

I Hate Delta.

I used to really love flying places. After years of family vacations driving to Colorado, Florida, New Mexico... wherever.... flying was a welcomed alternative. Once Marcin and I got engaged though, I was flying to Cleveland pretty much every other weekend from Utah so I got a little tired of it. I did always try to fly on Delta though because they were (past tense) my favorite airline. They always showed movies, it was a direct flight and they gave out these cute little snack pack things which was cute. This past week I was in Montana for training so obviously I had long flights with multiple layovers. On my way back home the flight was late out of Montana and I was worried about my connecting flight out of Salt Lake because my layover was only forty minutes. Once we landed in Salt Lake I ran, in really uncomfortable shoes might I add, to the next gate praying I wouldn't miss my flight to Atlanta. (Like I said, multiple layovers.) There were 16 passengers from connecting flights that were late so they held the plane which I was really grateful for, until I realized I might not make my flight out of Atlanta to Cleveland. My layover there was only thirty minutes. I was right. By the time we landed in Atlanta my flight to Cleveland had already left. Delta put me up in a hotel and booked me for the 10:10 am flight the next day. When I got to the airport the next morning, I reached the agent desk and she said the flight was full, to which I responded "that's fine. I have a ticket." Much to my shock and surprise it was a standby ticket and I was not guaranteed on that flight. Well, long story short, Delta gave me a $50 voucher (which will get me just out of my neighborhood flights are so dang expensive) and was very proud of themselves for even putting me in a hotel. Gee, thanks.

On a happier note, Marcin just got back this morning from his trip to Dallas with his dad and some of his brothers. He got to go to the University of Oklahoma vs. University of Texas football game. Thankfully OU won so he came home happy! He said they went to a fair or something before the game and had lots to eat and walked around in his "Everything's crappier in Texas" shirt. I asked if he would at least write on there "except my wife" but that didn't happen. We're just extremely blessed to have awesome family that take such good care of us! I even got to see Sydney on my layover in Salt Lake on my way to Montana so that was really fun too. It's been nice to see everyone and we can't wait until we see any of you again. There's always the option of coming out our way too you know... That is especially directed at my parents!! GET OUT HERE ALREADY! Love to you all.
