I was scared to death to get through airport security because I am "that person" who always has something go wrong. Once I got through that with no problem, my blood pressure went WAY down. We got to our gate and I overheard the ticket agent saying that the plane they had just boarded was overweight and men would have to be pulled from the flight. Re-enter high blood pressure.
Our flight was delayed when we got there and got delayed again while we waited. Fortunately we had a couple hours of layover in St. Louis, but the longer we waited, the more I worried about making that connection at all. I know...me? Worry? Shocker.
We made it to St. Louis with about 2 minutes to spare only to find out THAT flight was delayed too. Good thing because it was the WORST flight I've ever been on. I felt SO sick. It was incredibly rocky and I just wanted it to be over. (Safely of course.)
All the last minute changes meant none of us had eaten (other than random snacks) all day long. That drive to Lori and Jeff's was the longest hour and a half of my life. I thought about eating my shoe, but then I thought of Lori's cooking that was waiting on me...and I refrained.
The rest of the family made so much fun of the four of us during dinner because we didn't talk, we didn't chew...we just INHALED our food. We had seconds before everyone else had finished their firsts.
Hurry up and take the picture, Mom! I am trying to EAT! You're withholding my fat grams!
After dinner, we celebrated Lori's birthday. Her birthday was actually Sunday, but she wanted that day to be about Cassie and her graduation, so we celebrated early. Jeff and Cassie got her a lot of the same things they gave her last year on her birthday...but those were not so much seen again. Hopefully the new lot-o-gifts will stay.
I gave her this basket for her basket tree.
