Airport Sitting.....

Here I sit at one of the two different airports I will be in today. Abe Lincoln is SMALL compared to even the Rapid City, South Dakota airport.
Getting to the gate gets more ridiculous eachtime I fly anywhere. I was able to carry both my "luggage" and my backpack. However, I lost a half of tube of toothpaste and a plastic Target bag. I am not the smartest traveler anyway, so all this confusion of shoes off, on the belt, the computer in a bin and only a few things you can take on board is silly, though I see the point.

As I sit and ponder this trip to North Carolina I am getting more and more excited. I get to see the people I spent all summer with, who watched me grow, and who helped shaped me into who I am today. I am excited to met the Director of SummerShine, and of course I am excited to get out of this Illinois weather. However, I do leave a few family members that have had surgery, and pregnant almost sister in law, and a job that REALLY needs people there. I did make a commitment to myself though, and that is to have fun. I may not get to see this group of people for a long time after this trip, so I am going to have fun. The phone will be right next to me at all times, and I know I can be on the next flight home if needed:)

I will post as I can thoughout the trip. I do ask that you all keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I am traveling alone, and I have a three hour layover in Chicago...a MUCH bigger airport then the one I am in right now:)
