Good evening all from Dahlgren, VA...wiped out...this is how God works....I flew in to Boston to Richmond, VA...I did check in my bag at the desk....it was only like 5am is ....ugh...So I was excited all is set...NOT...this is how my Higher Power is. So, the flight was late and I missed my connecting (the nasty lady at the gate)...told me that I would not be able to get out of VA until tomorrow am, but I could be put on standby for Newport News, VA. I consulted with Chuck Walker...he was not only willing to put me up in a hotel for the next day, but also offered to drive anywhere to come get me...as I was freaking out about not having my baggage. So there my baggage stayed in Richmond....until he calmly said babe...calm down...we can pick up your stuff. SOOOO they then changed the gates, and I was still on stand-bye.....afraid that I would not make it out at all...I made friends with a new attorney from Haiti, and her mother, and also an elderly lady that asked if I could help walk her to the new gate...I graciously said yes...SLOWLY we walked together ...and she proceeded on telling me how she was so frustrated she was to be old and slow, and I told her that I was grateful for her to be on my arm to just simply slow me down....She was excited from me to be going to the Naval Ball. lol. She finally got a ride, and I lost sight of her. I arrived at the gate with my stand-by status...freaking out about not making it on....Walker kept saying,babe you will be on that flight. I was just about in tears...I then got to the gate....and sure enough there were my ladies. They all gave me a hug, and then they called all stand-byes to board. Wait, what??? I was on!!!! I got off that flight SOOOO grateful, and in tears of joy....I was seeing my best friend in a long time! He sat waiting for me....and then off we were to pick up my precious cargo...AKA the dress! We came home...and had dinner with his roommates amazing Armenian GF that cooked a huge meal...thank God I was starved! We all sat there as a family shooting the shit, and stuffing ourselves. I totally had a girlie moment with her after dinner! I think that all of today was not a coincidence....it was going out of my control...a test....believe me I thought of drinking when I found out all was going out of my control, but I knew that would make it worst(mind you my phone was going dead and I could not call anyone)...The biggest test yet that I managed to survive (oh and I lost my glasses...UGH). I believe that God worked through those women today...miraculously kept me away from a drink! I am OK....So I am damn thankful for my HP today....and I am so excited about shooting and going to the Naval Ball...I may add you know you are in the southern parts when: There is John Deer everywhere, Pickup trucks and mustangs are the means of most transportation, there are personalized tags on cars, a bike bar is called The Hog Barn, with all Harleys outside....and there is a means of driving like no other!!!! LMAO....SO here I am until Sunday, and I will keep you all posted! Grateful!
