Colorado

So we are back from Colorado. I guess that a lot of you didn't even know that we were going. Mom, Osanna and I had planned to go to Denver at 6:20 Monday morning. We arrived about 40 minutes before boarding. Usually it takes about 10 minutes to get through the security check point. But, this morning it took over an hour. So we missed our flight.

We had a great sermon the day before, the point of application was on rejoicing. We decided that this was a great chance to rejoice. We got on standby for the next flight at 10:40. We went outside for some fresh air, got out our instruments and starting playing. There weren't very many people around so we enjoyed ourselves without bothering others.

The next exciting thing to happen was we saw the Abbott's. It was great to see really friendly faces. And they stopped to chat with us for a while. We were getting cold so we went inside to wait. When we didn't make it on this flight we were put on standby for the next flight which was around 2:20. I called my friend Deb to see if she was busy, well actually, to see if she was not busy and wanted to hang out with us and wanted to pick us up. She was busy. So we waited for the next flight.

We also didn't get on the 2:20. I tried calling Deb again because the next flight was going out at 8:30. And she had been busy with lunch plans. So we thought maybe she'd be more free now. She was totally sweet and picked us up and changed her plans to spend some time with us. It was a blessing! We went to Jenni's to pick up her daughter who was there helping and then went shopping at Costco.

We arrived back at the airport at 6:30pm and when we aproched the ticket counter the man said "Are you the party of 3, Bertsch? I've already got you confirmed tickets." We were excited and checked the two bags we needed to check. Then we went through the security check point (Which took about 5 or 10 minutes.) and waited for our flight. On a side note they let me take my guitar on board as a personal item instead of having me check it plane side, which was very nice.
