The beginning.

On board my flight to Dallas. Wish I had time to stop in and see Kari Ensign. I'll wave to you from the airport, Kari! Scared out of my mind and so excited. Sat by a lady in the terminal that sang Happy Birthday to her dog-who then peed on some newspapers near where I was sitting. (The dog, not the lady.) Saw a family of foxes as we took off. and now looking over the clouds thinking about how I need to go skydiving again. The brave couple next to me is traveling to Paris with two kids under 2. My tray table is covered with 2 open cans of soda, 3 full glasses of water/soda, 2 bottles of formula, a couple tupperware bowls of Cheetos and Cheerios-- none of it mine-- and there are two wriggly kids sitting on the lap of their mom next to me. Disaster waiting to happen? We shall see. Oh! Also, the TSA agent sang me a few notes of the "Happy Birthday" song as I checked into the airport. How nice 😊
