March 25th: Made it to the airport on time, I somehow managed just one piece of checked luggage and no carry-on. Just me, my purse and my stuffed kitty. The stupid rivets on my jeans and boots set the security alarm off so I had to stand there while some chick waves the scan board over me and then demanded to know what was in my pocket. I said nothing but she poked it and said “Well what’s this then?” I glanced down and realized what it was. Pulled it out and showed her the piece of Kleenex I’d forgotten about.

I then had to sit, take of my shoes, wait while she scanned up and down my right leg and then asked if she could pat it down. Found nothing and sent us on our way.

The flight was pretty uneventful, my usual take-off panic, some turbulence and that was about it. His parents, Scott, his cousin and Aunt were there to meet us. Once I stepped outside the airport I was like holy FCUK!OMG!....first time feeling -15…not even sure wtf the wind-chill was.

Went and grabbed some dinner with everyone before starting the 4 hour drive to Sucker Creek…which was quite scary because late at night, possible animals, snow, ice, black-ice and blowing snow….we went very slow for a while :X

Got back exhausted but no sleep for us…the fridge had died, the water was icky so we had to boil it…got to bed around 3am….then up again at 8am to get in another car for an hour to drive to Old Smokie to go tubing for the day.

I borrowed some snow pants that were too big but we tightened em as best we could and it allowed me to wear pants underneath and I had stockings underneath those. Also borrowed some waterproof gloves and had an old jacket of mine and my cute, super long pink scarf.
