Well, last weekend was Jason (college friend) and Julie's wedding. I was at the airport at the appropriate time. Since I had already checked in and recieved my boarding pass online I was able to walk right on through to the gate. I noticed a long line at the American Airlines counter and thought to myself, "Man, I'm glad I didn't want to check any bags!" I got through the security line quickly (the blessing of living in a smaller city) and walked immediately to the monitors that show you which gate your flight is at. As I focused on the screen I saw something that no one ever want to see... blinking red C-A-N-C-E-L-E-D. My heart just sort of stopped. I walked to the gate that I was suppose to fly out of and got put on the stand-by list for delayed flight that was still going to make it to Dallas.
I waited for an hour and a half, didn't make the cut, then went back to stand in long AA line to rebook my flight. By the time I got up to a Customer Service rep. the next flight they could get me on to Dallas, on any airline, would not have plopped me in that fabulous city I call home until 10:45pm on Saturday night.
Sad times... through all of the emotions and tears, it ended up being a nice, quiet, relaxing weekend. Brian and I finally got to spend some quality time together. Since my schedule has changed to super early morning we haven't been able to spend as much time together.
Well, I should be home next month for another wedding... can't wait!

Cather, we have missed you.We've actually had snow today! Nothing stuck, but Jan drove home and saw it sticking to trees and fields south of Corsicana. And Bagel seems to have caught a squirrel today, so I guess the signs of the apocalypse have begun. May God bless your Easter!! Lylaf, the mom
