life in Texas

Hello from Fort Worth, Texas! Far from home eh? I'll start my trip from the beginning....

Well, as you may know, I work at the Fairbanks International Airport (that sounds cooler than saying the airport). Anyway....I had the opportunity to fly on a pass with Frontier Airlines down here to Texas! As a standby passenger, I get whatever seat is left. Hoping that i'll even get on the flight, that is :). But, I made it! I took the last seat for the seat to Denver. Last seat...most expensive seat...cheap Alaskans don't wanna pay for it. You get the point. So yeah, I got seat 1B. Awesome! Ok, I wouldn't of been completely fine with the back row too. Mainly because I slept the entire flight :). Anyway...great flight. I think. I was in between two old men (I had to teach them to turn their TV's off).

So, I landed in Denver. Not a clue where to go. I didn't have a boarding pass or gate number or anything for the next flight. Off I went...to find the flight to DFW. After several laps around that airport, I found it. I had an hour so I decided to go get some food. Oh, and by the way: you know you're out of Alaska when there are more shopping places in the airport than there are in your town.

After about an hour and half I was on my way to Fort Worth! It was super easy getting a seat for that one too! It wasn't as good as seat as the last flight, but it was an aisle. MUCH better than middle. Once again, I slept the entire way. It's so nice to just pull down the tray table in front of you and go to sleep :).

Landed at DFW. I immediately felt the hot, humid air! A nice friend...AMBER picked me up! So nice of her eh? Anywho...we headed home to get Gaby so we could go get some food! We were starved! Long story short - we made it (ALIVE) to La Madalines. It was awesome! After that we just hung out most of day. Spent the night there with them. Next day was Sunday! Went to church at Trinity. After church, Amber brought me home to my grandparents. It was good to see them finally.

I've had lots of fun being here. We've had some great food as always. Made several Cato runs ;D. Grand times. I'll try to keep y'all updated on everything that happens. Oh - and in case you were wondering....it hasn't been under 95 the whole time i've been here. Little hot for this Alaskan girl.

Here are a few pics from Cabelas today! Best store ever :).
