I made it!!

It was a really long trip, but I made it back to Alaska!!! Friday was a horrible day. I got to the airport at 9:00am and checked in early. (My dad had to get back to the farm...) I boarded the plane at 1:14pm and we immediatly had to deboard. The plane was overheating. Then we got back on 15 minutes later. Then we had to deboard again. Then we sat around for 3 hours not knowing what was going on. Finally they made me go to another airline. This meant getting my baggage from baggage claim, going to another terminal far away on a shuttle bus, checking in to the airline again, going through security again, walking to the end of the terminal again, and boarding a plane again. At first i was so upset and on the verge of tears. Once I got on the plane I had time to reflect. Several things happened that I am grateful for in this. One, We didn't take off and blow up in the air. Two, some really nice skyhops helped me with my luggage. (There was no way I would have been able to handle 3 suitcases and 2 bags.) Three, my new flight was non-stop to anchorage. And finally, when I checked into my hotel that night I had never felt such relief and accomplishment...lol!

I ride up to the park today! I have been staying with friends of our family in Wasilla. I always love staying with Sam and Dianna! They also have a really nice church and I looked foward to that.

Here is a picture of Wasilla and the mountains that surround it!
