Today I flew away from my husband and children for the first
time in order to attend a two day training for my new career as Texas State
Director for my tutoring company. I felt
confident that I would fit in, thanks to my friend Jodi and her sudden desire
to replace everything in her closet! I
managed to shop a little for some business type outfits that were still young
and fun so I knew I’d at least look the part.
The best part of my day easily though was that I had convinced my best
friend, Abby, to join me on my trip! I
had arranged to have a stopover in her area at least to have a visit, but as
God had made sure things were to be special this weekend, the airlines ended up
giving me a voucher for $150 dollars on my next flight while allowing me to
drive the last leg of my flight with Abby even though they had quoted me a $400
change fee less than 30 minutes before!
Silly airlines. We enjoyed the
good long talk on the drive and then got to explore downtown Austin for several
hours (Longhorn Stadium and the Capitol) before ordering a big meal and some
fruity cocktails. Both of us didn't know
what to do without our kids hanging on us and couldn't quite bring ourselves to
go ‘wild’. It was nice to visit though,
and eat hot food with cold drinks, a rare treat.
