Airplane Adventures!

I thought that I would go ahead and post tonight because I honestly don't know what the next week holds, and there are lots of things I have to say about my experience getting from VA to MI!
5am: Departure from home to Norfolk International Airport
7am: Flight from Norfolk to Chicago
8:30... 7:30...? MUCH confusion about the time change, but no confusion finding the next gate.
shortly after that: Still confused about what time it is... but enjoying a Starbucks breakfast and seriously considering purchasing a small teddy wearing a Chicago Tshirt.
10am: Sitting at the gate waiting for my next flight.
11:19am: NOT on a flight. Sadly waiting for the delayed flight.
12pm: Flight from Chicago to Grand Rapids
2:30pm: Safe and sound and in the car with Kris.

Memorable Moments:

• My seven-year-old seat partner giggling uncontrollably during takeoff from Norfolk.


• Checking my carry-on plane side... Dad was right. It was too big both times.


• Seeing no fewer than four dogs traveling by plane! One of whom was a small fluffy dog dragging along a small, (too) skinny, (too) tan, middle-aged woman wearing four-inch platform heels.


• Two brothers arguing loudly for twenty minutes about stats and tactics for some online game. Perhaps WoW or Runescape?


• Meeting the beautiful Birkholz children


• Snuggling with Owen while the girls got ready for bed.


• Watching "Country Strong" with Kris.... Kaye.... why did you tell me that was a good movie?!?

Looking forward to starting Orientation tomorrow!
