Waiting to board was anxious and awful. We got to the airport 3 hours early! And checking in and getting through security only took about 20 minutes. I had to take my shoes off and I didn't like that.
When I got to my terminal was the worst part, aside from sitting next to this adorable family. It was a younger couple and their baby trying to get to Kansas City but they had to wait around until there was a flight with enough free(available) seats. I kinda feel bad for them but I couldn't really do anything. Their baby was fussy tried to grab at my Doritos so I broke off small pieces to give her. It was cute and her mother called her "silly sugar".
Once I boarded the plane I become a wreck. I was getting so nervous as the stewart was reviewing safety stuff and by the time the plane was moving I was crying ever so silently. As we took off into the air I started getting really light-headed, which kinda sucks.
Ascending was cool as we just floated above the snowy mountains. I tried to take a picture but the batteries in my camera were dead and my extras are in my suitcase. If we were allowed to have our cell phones on I woulda used mine to take pictures.
I'm still anxious and feel funny but that's just because we're officially 33,000 feet high. I imagine crashing at this height would be painful, if not entirely deadly.
When I got to the airport, and after my parents left me, I wanted so badly to just call Dustin and talk to him to make me feel better but then I realized a very good reason that I couldn't--he's at freaking Basic Training!
He asked me to postpone my trip to Albuquerque, something about funds. I'm thinkin' "I pay our freaking bills. I know what we can and cannot afford."
He graduates in roughly one month and I can't wait to see him again.
Back to the flight, it should only be about an hour and 13 minutes, according to the pilot. And it's been about a half hour, at least. This shouldn't be so bad. I just have to worry about losing my insides when we land. x_____x
Tomorrow Kimberly is going to see her midwife and is taking me along. She thinks that I'm gonna not want to go but I am actually quite excited. It might help get me ready to have a baby with Dustin some day. Kimberly is due sometime in June. The rest of my family is going to see her in the fall.
Let me tell you about the stewart. He's delightfully fruity, if you know what I mean. He's really nice. And black, I believe.
Oh, and the pilot just announced that we'll be landing in about 23 minutes. That should give me time to wrap this up for now and save it.
I'm so exhausted, I haven't been sleeping lately. And not eating well either. I'm hoping that my stay with Kimberly and her family will do me some good. She is married for the second time, has a son from her first marriage and her husband Anthony shares custody of his daughter from his previous marriage.
And judging by the baby clothes my mom sent out with me, she's having a baby girl.
We're currently over a desert area of New Mexico and it's really nice. Almost no snow.
Man I have to pee! They serve us these complimentary drinks(I got apple juice) and then give us these "rules" of when we can and cannot stand up to go to the bathroom. Plus this plane is tiny! About 20 rows of 3 seats each. They way it worked out, I got the aisle seat and the window seat. Since there's only one seat on this side of the aisle. ^^
I feel kinda vulnerable traveling alone but I've just gotta keep me wits about me.
Pilot just descended a bit then leveled out again. Messed up my head real bad. I wish he'd stop doing that.
GOTTA GO! DESCENDING ALL THE WAY!
-Later-
I got in a lot earlier than Kimberly expected me, and she didn't see me in the airport because she didn't know my hair would be black. Laughable.
Back to now. I'm staying in LaVaun's bedroom because her mother has her tonight. She's her daddy's little princess. Her walls are already covered in posters. They're all Disney Channel stars. Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, Emily Osment, Miranda Cosgrove, Vanessa Ann Hudgens...
I would've thought 10-12 years old if I just looked at her stuff, but she's turning 9 this year.
I just turned on her lamp, the lightbulb is pink. And I'm watching her t.v.--she's got cable.
I'm trying to make a playlist for a mixed CD for Dustin.
Oh oh, he called while Kimberly was showing me her ultrasound pictures and we talked about coming to see him in March! He says only 3 and a half more weeks... but I think he's getting ahead of himself...
I just checked and there are 4 and a half weeks until Family Day! I'm glad it's getting so close. I'm dying as it is and after that only 5 weeks of Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sam, Texas.
He wants me to come out on a trip with Karlee because apparently it would be a 45 minute cab ride from the airport to Fort Benning and he doesn't want me to have to do that. It would be so much more of a hassle though to ride down with Kar. And cost more. I say Karlee and I fly down and rent a car to drive the rest of the way. We'll see what we can afford at the time.
It'll be so nice to be in his arms again. Really, that's all I want.
I need to get a letter out to him. Yes. I. Do. I tried to while I was waiting earlier but just couldn't do it. I had a million thoughts flying around in me head and nothing was getting on paper. I'll try again tomorrow... Ya know, since I'm not going to have the internet until I get home.
I found 3 wireless networks in Kimberly's neighborhood but 2 of them were password-protected and the insecure network wasn't a strong enough connection to let me log into MSN or open my browsers or anything. Got meh mad! Oh well, it'll help me concentrate more on my amazing family that I'm visiting.
Remember, tomorrow I get to go with Kimberly to her doctor to see the babeh!
Well I'm watching Mythbusters right now in pink lamplight. Catcha later.
