Five years
Last week, Travis and I celebrated five years of marriage.
Separately, of course. Who wants to actually celebrate an anniversary together?
We had planned for YEARS to go to a wedding in Kansas City on this weekend. And by “years” I mean, we knew we’d go to this wedding even before we knew there’d be a wedding. He’s THAT kind of friend. So when the date was announced and it happened to be our anniversary - great. We’ll celebrate it by a mini holiday!
Then about two weeks ago my boss springs a trip to Chicago on me. Now, I do love me some Chicago and I do love me some airplane time (seriously, I can not get enough!), but my conference ended on Friday and I was scheduled to take the flight to KC about three hours after returning from Chicago.
Until my plane decided to “divert due to weather” and park it’s big ass in Colorado Springs for almost four hours.
Now, you’d think that if this so called “weather” situation is so dire, planes wouldn’t be able to take off FROM Denver either, right? That’s kind of what I was banking on. Oh no, they left right on time. With my husband in the friendly skies.
I was depressed and bitter, but I eventually made it to KC and to the wedding and got to spend the day AFTER with my honey. I guess there’s always next year.

that sucks. I’m sorry chicago had such a big part in screwing over your plans.
i doubt it’d make you feel any better, but fannie mae had j and i on the hook for TBA move-out date. we were forced to ask our good friends to help us at the last second–on their 5-year anniversary. i realized it two days before, but they insisted on coming to help anyway. then our closing took like 5 hours too long and the poor couple got a babysitter and was sitting there waiting for us at the new place while we scrambled to get our stuff out of the old one. we’re sending them out for a fancy dinner while we watch their kids, but i still feel terrible about the whole thing.

Airlines are in a coo, I think. To piss people off….
Maybe you could call mulligan and pick a weekend to celebrate?
