Wow!!! What a day... I better hurry up and make this post before the clock strikes 12:00!
So today we flew to Phoenix to start our Imaging USA 09 trip and getting here was a little difficult.
Here are the highlights:
• ready to sleep at 1:00 AM Wednesday
• Ever woke up - was up from 1:00 AM- 3:00 AM
(Something had frightened her and she was sure that the green alligator or the purple dragon was going to get her.)
•The next thing we remember was being woken up by a knock at the door at 7:20 AM
(Please keep in mind that we were supposed to be leaving at 7:30 to get the girls to school and get to the airport)
• freak out happened
• called April and she came to save the day with the girls! Hooray April!
• packed up and left for the airport via Nick. Hooray Nick!
• on the way we received a call from our buddy Fran Doggrell saying our plane was delayed till 12:30 (whewww - relax)
• arrived : checked luggage : walked to the gate
• told that they were switching planes and that we would be boarding in 10 minutes
(just enough time to get starbucks)
WOW - and that was all by 9:30!!!
So the flight was fine, hotel is great and we've already had a chance to hang with some very close friends, Chanel, Scott, Angela and Sam!!!
Something we do for the girls to make the days go smoother is to let them open a surprise every morning. We place the bags on the piano and just the visual thought that mommy and daddy are coming home in this many days - keeps them going. The one with the red tissue means we are coming home the next day!!
