I talked with my mother in law last night (well, ex MIL but she will always be my MIL). Anyway, it seems that they have a ton of things planned for mine and Genna’s arrival in 11 days.
Shirley <The x-MIL> is sooo excited.
I am glad that she can’t wait to see us. It has been almost 4 years I think. My daughter is 6, almost 7 and I believe the last time we were there was in April of 2000. So it has been awhile. I am not thrilled with the fly aspect. I will probably be white-knuckled the whole way and will kiss the ground upon arrival. I have a tons of things for Genna to play with on the airplane.
I hope they have a good movie at least!

Flying
Yeah! We are so very excited that you are coming out for a visit. It certainly has been awhile.
Most flights don’t have a movie. Unless you’re on a direct flight that is huge, it’s not all that common anymore. And don’t count on being fed, either. Pretzels and a drink, that’s it. I flew just last week to Nashville for Home Interior Seminar and had a wonderful time. Security was good but not extreme. On the way back one of my checked pieces of luggage was searched. So sad for them, it was my bag full of dirty clothes.
We are excited to end our summer with your visit! School will have started all ready, so it’ll be a good chance for the kids to have a little more fun even though school has started.

The flight we are taking serves dinner on the way to Denver and I think they said there is a movie if not, each seat has cable tv so you can watch whatever you want to watch. Atleast I think this was the airline that does that.
Then in a month from when I get back, I have to fly back to Denver for business. I HATE flying with a passion. But I just grin and bear it.
Genna’s school starts on Monday but I am taking her out of school for those few days. She won’t miss much. I would rather do it now then later.
Excited!
Well, I’m as excited as all get-out over having you come soon! I sure hope a few of those MIL-plans include Christy and our kids.
