On a Jet Plane

This morning, I got the idea in my mind that we needed to fly to Colorado for the fundraising event for Presley. I didn't really think it would happen. It's Thursday, and I didn't even think of it until today. I talked to Paul, and thought he would throw that right out the window. He said, "just check flights." I'm convinced it was meant to be. The tickets were only $300.00 for two round trip tickets from SLC to DIA! Our flight leaves at 7pm and we arrive in Denver at 9m. I then had to find a place to stay. I knew Erin and Steffon would say yes, because Presley wouldn't have had it any other way. She was so  excited to see Jada. She was happy to see everyone, but obsessed with Jada! Erin's brother had just left  that day, but she agreed we could come and crash her birthday weekend. I booked the flights at 12 and scrambled the rest of the day for a shower and clean packed clothes!

                                    Good thing for a sanitizing wipes, lollipops and an ipad.

The flight was great. Thankful for an ipad and a window seat. Presley loves airplanes and wanted her "headsets", I had to reminder her we were leaving on a jet plane and not a "daddy airplane". When I told her were were going to Denver on an airplane, I'm sure she pictured flying with daddy.

The airport brings a little bit of drama.  She is not suppose to go through the metal detectors because of her implant (power port). Plus the fact that she can't walk makes getting her out of the stroller at the gate, and all my bags, and carrying her to our seat, a little tricky. Oh, and the paranoid mom in me had to sanitize the whole seat and tray table. It's quite the process.

When I walked off that plane and saw all the familiar places, and walked in the door to Steffon and Erin's house (brother and sister in law), I knew we were home. My heart and soul needed this trip more than you will ever know. My heart needed to hug and talk to each one of you. Presley's heart and soul needed it too.
