Well we made it safe and sound to Missouri! This was Jace's second plane trip and I must say the first one was much easier! This time around I'm traveling by myself. Jace has done excellent. We started our trip by driving down to the Salt Lake City airport. Jace slept most of the trip and I entertained myself by listening to New Kids and singing aloud! Let me just say I'm very surprised he slept most of the trip! By the time we got to the airport he was done being in his car seat and I couldn't really blame him. We got all checked in and cleaned up and arrived at security. Now let me just tell you I'm not really impressed with the security staff at this airport. It is just me and Jace...I have a diaper bag, purse, computer case, carseat/stroller combo and Jace....not to mention I had to take off my belt, my shoes, take liquids out etc. I'm standing there waiting for what to do next and the security officer tells me that the car seat and stroller need to go through xray...okay that's fine and dandy, but did anybody help me break it down and lift it on the thingy....NOPE...3 officers watched me do it one handed because I was holding Jace in the other! Real nice....it makes me grateful it was easy to break down and that I have started to get a mom arm and was able to lift it! A lady guard at the other end helped me get everything off and to another table so I could take my time getting myself and Jace back together!
The flight itself was uneventful.. Jace slept most of the time and didn't cry at all so that was nice.

So far we have had a pretty good trip. We are here until Wednesday and hope the return trip goes smoothly. We are definitely missing daddy and almost ready to be home.
Okay, so I'm super excited that you have a blog, and you have inspired me to join the blogger world again. As you know I have been very hesitant about this whole thing since April, but I am now excited to start blogging again, so that you and I can stay connected in other ways. Cannot wait for August when I return and can come visit you whenever I want, being close again is going to be amazing, I have missed our friendship a lot (distance wise) and look forward to the next 50+ years or friendship with you...marriage, children, grandchildren, graduations, holidays, you name it! So glad that you and my little nephew are having a great time in Missouri, that kid is so lucky to have a Mom like you!
