i'm NOT leaving on a jet plane...

i seem to have bad luck with flying. yesterday i went to the airport. i guess i cut it a little close on time but i waited in line for an hour to check in, one man seemed to be dealing with 100 people checking in. with 40 min. still left until my flight time i told the man i was going to miss my flight if i didn't get checked in, he did not seem to care. he said i will get to you after all of these people in front of you. you check in at the kiosk and then they call your name and take your luggage, there were about 10 people in front of me and by the time he took care of them they would not let me go to the gate. i missed my flight. i couldn't believe it. so much that tears started rolling down my face. it was like all my stress hit at that moment. the people standing next to me said is the wedding tommorow? i said no i am o.k. just frustrated.
finally another woman came over and i told her that i had been waiting for an hour and missed my flight. she put me on the same flight leaving today ( the next day) and said she was sorry. much more than the other guy even bothered to say.
here are a few of the things that have happened to me:
the last time kiley and i flew to vegas we were there 2 hours early to be delayed 3 hours, spending 5 hours waiting for our flight
there was the time caleb and i got deboarded from the plane after waiting about 40 min. they decided we were getting off, after waiting about 3 hours in the airport they decided we were going to a hotel and leaving the next day.
nikki and i were in a lightning storm, we have been both delayed on and off the runway!
i would rather do anything than sit forever on the runway on the plane!
then there is the 2 times my luggage didn't arrive with me!
anyway i am off again today, arriving earlier with ticket in hand! wish me luck!!

arrgghhh don't you hate airports! It seems like my husband travels sooo smoothly, but everytime it's time for me to fly (which is basically every other month) I ALWAYS run into trouble too! I really wish service counter people were nicer. It may sound discriminating, but I noticed that when I make my hair really nice and I wear makeup and wear nice clothes, than they're a little nicer to me and don't give me as much attitude!

I hope you make the wedding! and tel Kiley Congratulations! I can't believe we're all growing up now so fast! We'll probably be seeing her in Tva :)

Awwww, sorry you've had bad experiences with the airport. Those are all the things I HOPE don't happen to me when I go.

I'm glad you got there though, but sad that you were there later than you wanted to be. I hope everything goes well and I HOPE your return trip is much better!

I love you, Kelly! I hope everything goes smoothly for the wedding--we're thinking of you guys!

Oh, and I'm making a mental note not to travel with you anywhere ;-).

I would've hit the man in the face. No then I would get arrested. I would imagine it then give him evil eyes!!

Sorry Kelly, that's never fun but soon all will be back to normal. You'll have 3 kids to worry about, walking baxter in the mornings, kissing your hubby by night and coming down to visit me! ;)

Love you so much! HOpe everything turns out great and rolls smoothly!
