Flying….

What are you supposed to do while flying when  you already  listened to music for 3 hours at the airport while coloring?

I decided on blogging (minus the posting part, of course).

While I sat in the St. Louis airport charging my computer and phone I met a few new friends. Don’t ask me their names because I didn’t catch one of them and don’t remember the other. We started talking after all three of us received phone calls at the same time, an automated call from Southwest letting us know that our flight was delayed. Then we all laughed and looked at each other, then talked about how we hoped we would still be able to catch our connecting flights. One of the guys teaches at a med school in California, and he was in St. Louis visiting his 7 year old son. The other guy… I don’t know what he was doing in St. Louis, he wasn’t quite as talkative as my teacher friend. He found out that I was headed to SLC and asked why I was headed there, so I told him that I go to school at BYU and he immediately mentioned the bowl game that the football team had just won against OSU and then also told me that BYU is a great school. Then he told me about the “mormon church that looks like a  castle that is by his house in San Diego” and how he thought it was really pretty. We had a great conversation about my “typical big mormon family” and what I am studying at school. He told me that I was going into a great field and that after the short conversation we had he was sure I would be successful.

On a side note… my iPod died. I’m really sad about it but at the same time I am excited to start looking into new ones :)
