When it rains, it pours!

A few days ago I made the spontaneous decision to visit cousins Erick, Lauren, Lexie and Emma this weekend. I just love spontaneity... So Lauren helped me schedule a flight from Cape Girardeau to St. Louisthen on to Kirksville from there! It was a brilliant plan to get there without having to drive...PLUS Aunt Robyn and Uncle Larry were going to pick me up on Monday & visit their girls! My flight would leave Cape at 4:10 and i would arrive in Kirksville at 6:45. It would be the smoothest and easiest way to Kirksville!! Sounds like a weekend full of family fun, right?

Wrong!! As I sit in the airport in Cape, I contemplate just how good the original plan was...in theory it was great. What none of us had taken into consideration was HURRICANE ISAAC. Apparently planes can't fly in storms...that's news to me! My day has gone like this:

1:45 PM - Leave Poplar Bluff with 2 Larry Hillis drivers.
3:09 PM - Arrive at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport
4:10 PM - Scheduled Flight Departure Time....DELAYED...bummer
4:30 PM - New Departure Time...DELAYED...double bummer
5:00 PM - We get word that The flight will be delayed at least 1 hr due to Tornado Warnings in St. Louis
5:40 PM - Connection Flight time...OBVIOUSLY missed this flight!!
6:07 PM - FLIGHTS CANCELLED!!! Cape Air offers ground transportation to St. Louis Airport where there will not be another flight until 10:25 AM on Saturday morning!
7:10 PM - Still waiting in airport terminal for shuttle to arrive!!
7:15 PM - FINALLY WE HAVE A SHUTTLE!!! Now we are being bused to the Airport where we will be given our hotel vouchers for the evening!

All-in-all Cape Air did more than they had to, but needless to say, there were a few bumps in the road!! Haha. A big shout out to Jesse for taking care of us!!! :-)

Erick, Lauren, Lexie, Emma...I'll see you soon!!!! I am seriously more excited than ever to see my family!

Julie's Going Away Party!

So last night was Julie's Farewell Party! It was so much fun for everyone. Here are a couple pictures & just a glimpse of the decorations. We had a photographer (Adam Fears!;) there to document the whole thing...so be looking for those soon!

I'll give ya a whole rundown once I get those pictures! :-)

Trello!

I am so excited! I found this new website called Trello.com. It is a virtual task manager that allows you to create boards (lists), add items to do (like index cards), add members to a board, assign tasks, create due dates and even connect with member conversations on the back of individual cards! This is a really neat site that has helped streamline my life...I mean literally, MY LIFE!!! I have been more organized and 10x more productive than before. I'm so happy to have Suc a useful tool in my back pocket! :-)
