Christmas traveling.

The airports are crazy!! We were supposed to fly out yesterday morning to Denver and then from Denver to Billings. We got to the airport about an hour early to check in. We knew it was going to be crazy so we made sure we got there with enough time.
As soon as we got to the airport we tried to check in with one of the computer check-ins. It said that our flight to Denver was delayed so we wouldn't be able to make our flight to Billings, so we got into the ticket line to try to figure out how we were going to get to Billings. We waited in that line for about an hour. It finally went to and passed the time that our flight was supposed to leave, but since it had been delayed it didn't matter. About twenty minutes later we finally got to the front of the line and got to speak with the man about our tickets. He looked and looked and couldn't find us any flights to get to Billings that day. We would have had to wait until today to Billings. The man found something from Delta, a straight flight to Billings. He called over to Delta and apparently they had oversold their seats because of a cancellation of an earlier flight. They also said we could take our original flight to Denver and spend the night there and then fly to Billings the next day. We didn't want to have to sleep over at an airport again. They found one other flight but it was on Sunday and we didn't think that was enough time to spend up in Billings. We had told Rita (Jason's mom) that we were just going to stay in Utah. So we asked for a refund and decided to drive. We thought it would be a good idea to keep it a secret and surprise Rita when we got there, she was very upset on that we weren't going to come up. I would have been pretty upset too if I were her, my baby boy not being able to come up for Christmas. The drive was pretty good most of the time. There were a few parts that were a little scary dangerous and I am soooo thankful Jason was driving. Long story short, we made it and are very thankful to be here! We wish everyone else a merry Christmas, and we will be back sometime on the 26th.
