Blizzard in Denver, 5,000 travelers stranded already, airport not slated to open until, oh, 3 hours AFTER my sister’s scheduled departure. Motherfucker.
The new flight, now, is that she leaves from Hayden today, which is actually kind of a good thing, because that means NO treacherous drive down out of the mountains. (Hayden is a really small regional airport, even smaller than ours, I think, and is just 20 minutes or so from where Kate lives.) But, that flight takes her to Salt lake City, where she will be until… Saturday. She’s hoping to get an earlier flight tomorrow, but for now, she gets to SLC at 4 today, and ends up here at 10pm on fucking SATURDAY. Then, flies back on Wednesday to… denver! Where she will take a shuttle service back up into the mountains to get home. Anyway. Everything happens for a reason, and I AM really glad that she isn’t inching her way through the fucking ROCKIES to get to an airport that has been closed for two days.
On another note, got the final grades from my prof, which were As, and she has submitted the paperwork for graduation. Totally, officially, done. Wow.
And finally, I have new pictures up in a December album, but I didn’t include this one, which is one of my faves — I came home form work late one night to this image and just MELTED. You would too, if it was your two favorite people ever.
o. my. god. Your family is the cutest ever. And that sucks about your sister, but thumbs up for finding the silver lining.
Awww…..
Congrats, babe. This is really exciting and I hope you feel super proud of yourself and not just tired!
Re. Kate, I’m feeling grateful that I was taking Delta, which routed me through SLC and Atlanta on my way home Wednesday, and not United, which would have put me through (well, TO) Denver. Youch.
