I’m in Pennsylvania ~ yay! And I’ve been up for 12 hours already ~ yay?! ;]
Last night was a great family night. I served baked chicken, homemade mashed potatoes {and apple crisp!} and carrots. It was the perfect family dinner before I had to leave town for a few days. I made sure to get some extra snuggle time with Bauer before bedtime, too…
This morning was an early morning — early, like a 3:19am wake up. My first flight to PA was with Allison and Amy. We were on a huge jet and everything was perfect.
Then, we take our second PA flight into Harrisburg and, umm, we rode in this propeller “thing”:
Yeah. I called Zack once all the flights were over and he immediately said, How is Allison’s hand? Is it purple? I think he just knew… He has husband intuition.
The flight was only 40 minutes {thank you, Jesus, seriously}, but the plane shook and shook and vibrated and turbulanced and dropped a few feet every other minute. Poor Allison. I jabbered the entire flight because I couldn’t not jabber. And she held my hand.
Once she said, Oh look at the trees, they’re so pretty. And I just sat there like, I CAN NOT LOOK OUT THE WINDOW, ARE YOU CRAZY?
♥
I was sweating. And praying — OUT LOUD — for my safety. I think all 40 of us on the flight were praying…
But anyways, the flight was fine, it was just a little bitty plane. And now we’re here, hanging out in our hotel room :] Waiting for everything to start…

Those little “propeller ‘things'” make me nervous too and I’m an experienced flier! You just feel every. little. thing. and your mind starts playing tricks on you…
Have fun at Relevant!
Awww! Bless your heart, Maggie!
I don’t think we can ever fly together. I’m just as bad. I just about break hubbie’s hand and order wine every time the flight attendant walks by. It’s not pretty.
Sad part is . . . hubby’s a pilot and loves flying. He totally doesn’t get me. *snort*
Can’t wait to hear all about it. Have a great time!
I love that picture of you two! It’s adorable :)
awww you poor thing! next time rent a car and drive to harrisburg from philly… less than 2 hours and a lot less bumpy. :)
wish i knew about this conference before it sold out! bummer! have a blast though and enjoy pennsylvania fall! it’s beautiful here!
Haha, Maggie! You crack me up. So glad you made it. Our family calls them “puddle jumpers.” And I’ve ridden a puddle jumper between islands in the Virgin Islands. Interesting, to say the least!
Oh I am SO JEALOUS. Not of the propeller plane, I don’t really mind flying so much but tiny planes are never fun, but of Relevant and of getting to spend time with Allison. Have so so much fun!!
I’d be a mess on one of those! Sounds like you will have so much fun though :) Best of luck!
I’m jealous, just because of the fact that my parents live in the Harrisburg area and if I was going to Relevant I could stay with them and cut back on expenses! Enjoy that beautiful state! :)
Oh dear. Gussy, I really feel for you on that plane girly. That’s exactly what I do when I fly– talk non-stop and squeeze someone’s hand.
Once, the flight attendant gave me wine to try and sedate me. Yikes.
That’s what my last flight from Chicago to South Bend was – 20 minutes of sheer terror, IMO! That was 7 years ago. And, I am thinking of all the ways we can drive whenever we want to go somewhere.
aw so fun! good friends are hard to find. :) wish i was there! you are not far from me!!! :) I should just come visit this weekend! :)smiles, gina
oh wow. I couldn’t do it. I think the nervous ball of anxiety from turbulence + decending would MAKE me get sick. I hate flying and other than flying to a different country (where you’re bound to get a HUGE plane where you can’t feel much….just SMELL much…ugh) I am a nervous ball of gloop. I even take drowsy dramamine just so I can try to relax….unless my kids are with me…bless your heart!!!

You both look so happy and beautiful! Enjoy yourselves!
Have fun!!!!
Ha I remember a flight like that from Manchester, NH to NYC, in a snow storm, the girls behind us screamed everytime the plane took a big dip, people all over the plane were using the little bags, my husband wouldn’t talk to me, he was trying to keep from using the little bag, me I sang Amazing Grace as loud as I could, not even sure anyone could hear me…Jesus did! We landed safely, felt like dropping to my knees and kissing the ground!! Glad you landed safely!!
