Winnipeg Day One

Hi all. Well here I am in Winnipeg. We left Moncton yesterday at 4:50 pm. Brent and Jackie drove us to the airport. My stomach started to get really queasy around noon although I was really busy getting things ready. We arrived in Hamilton and was able to get right on our next flight. West Jet to Winnipeg. The take off of the plane was nasty. I think that I almost broke Mike's arm. The arrival was just as bad. BUT, my little happy pills really worked and I was very dopey. The stewards and stewardess' were wonderful and they made me feel protected. I slept the first leg of the trip because of those pills and I tried to read and watch TV on the second leg. The flights were very short and seemed to go by very fast. My reward...seeing Addie & Jay standing there smiling at us. My heart was so full.

Our luggage landed with us. Addie & Jay took us on a short tour on the way home. We ate at a restaurant called Perkins. I had progies and onion tanglers. Mike had a Tangler burger with french fries. They were really good but Swiss Chalet is much better. We went home and talked for awhile then it was bedtime. I bought a new pair of jammies so would be decent here with Jason. When I opened my suitcase...my face wash stuff was empty and my jammie bottoms, my "only" jammie bottoms, were wet with face wash.

I got another pair from Addie and then I went to bed and slept through everything even the planes taking off.

This morning, Sunday, I woke up to my sweetie singing to me and then a plane taking off really low set off two car alarms. FUNNY!!!

I went down stairs and saw the wonderful smiling face of my dearest, youngest daughter Addie. It was so worth the plane trip. We got ready and went to church. It was great to go and to renew my covenants with my father in heaven. I am so very grateful for my membership in His true church. I am thankful for my testimony and especially for my family.

We came home and had "super" ball park franks and a southwestern type salad, apple pie and ice cream. YUMMY!!! Now we are just sitting here watching TV. I look at Addie and just smile. I am happy.

Going to go...I will write more later. Hope everyone else is having fun. I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy that you and dad got the chance to visit Allison and Jason!! I know she has been wanting someone to go out there. I'm also glad that your flight was alright - I worried yesterday. It was weird to call Al's house today and ask for you. Keep having fun and I look forward to more info about your vacay!! XOXO I love you mom.
