I HATE flying! We're back in Vegas!

I'm not sure if I've ever told you this...."But I really hate flying." Especially with 3 kids and a pregnant 20 week belly. Well, we're back in Vegas for Spring Break. Most people would be excited and say, "We're going to VEGAS for our Spring break!" But, I am quite the opposite. Here's what happened:

We had a great All School Easter Chapel at ICA on Friday. Fantastic! Braxtyn, Braydee, Macy, and I rushed home to get the final packing done for our LONG AWAITED trip to visit Alaska, but more importantly......Mark! The girls hadn't seen him for 5 weeks. My wonderful friend Diana drives us to the airport and we're making amazing time. Girls are cooperative and we get through the security with no problems and no crying (Macy-Dayne)! We even had time to eat a few snacks and a smoothie.

Getting to the Vegas airport on time wasn't a concern...it was making the connecting flight in Phoenix which only was a 45 minute layover (We would have to switch planes too). Unfortunately, all of us were sitting in separate seats. We were near eachother. Poor Braydee and Braxtyn had to sit between 2 strange men. Luckily some nice young girl offered to switch seats with Macy. The lady was sent from God. Because we ended up having a 5o minute delay (after leaving the terminal) because of wind gusts in Phoenix. So, there we are waiting in that plane, knowing we were going to miss our connecting flight. I didn't say anything to the girls but Mark and I were texting and there was nothing we could do. Except pray that that plane in Phoenix was delayed also.
Well, it wasnt delayed and we missed the flight. Along with several other people who came in on different flights. We're a little suspicious as to how this all happened....but we're all back home in Vegas and resting. INCLUDING (drum roll please).............Mark! He surprised us and took a red eye flight to Vegas from Anchorage. When he arrived in Seattle for a layover, Mt. redoubt (the volcano that's been stirring up a lot of action and cancellations of flights) errupted again after being quite for a week. We're glad Mark made it in time.



All that to say.....God is good! Seriously...ALL THE TIME! It's Palm Sunday and we're all sitting in our living room cuddling and are going to enjoy this "Last Spring Break in Vegas" to the best of our ability and budget!
