dissapointment and excitement all wrapped into one.

yes, fellow bloggers, yesterday was supposed to be the day that my favorite little man(my baby brother Brandon) came out to visit me for the week. Well, it all happened so fast. First I was looking for a flight for myself to go to O CANADA with my hubby and in doing so found out that children under the age of 15 cannot fly alone without an escort if the flight has a layover. Well, after a moment of panic, my father getting angry, and my mom acting like a b-i-t-...you know the rest, and little Beester man crying, we found out for sure. N. O. There was no way around it, after his flight was booked and he was supposed to leave the next morning, they informed us they wouldn't let him on the plane if he went to the airport.

Big time bummer. I think I am possibly more dissapointed than the little guy as this was to be the highlight of his (and my) summer.

However, I was able to return more than half of the groceries I purchased at good ol' Kroger and got 60 bucks back :) food is very expensive these days!

And for the excitement part, I was now able to schedule my flight the same day as my hunny bunny and meet him in the air, the canadian air that is. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get across the border, but oula! I put the ticket in my maiden name :) (haven't changed my passport to reflect my married name yet) After talking to some airlines and checking the passport website, I found, that since I didn't need any other form of id, it would work!

So now I am SOOOO excited! I will be in Canada for two weeks, so forgive me if I don't blog for a while. Where I am going, there is NOTHING. But it will be fun!

SO now instead of not seeing Mark for 6 weeks, I'll only not see him for 4! That still sucks, but hey! It's better!
