funny how when you want something crazy bad and you might just die if it doesn't happen so you try super hard and it doesn't work out.
a little lesson in letting go of expectation, control and that "I NEED this and I'll die without it" attitude.

I just got home from my food photo conference and towards the end I was so antsy to get home. my plane was scheduled to leave at 2:00 pm.  I was missing sydney like crazy. I wanted to get home earlier so I wouldn't have to spend my entire day flying. I wanted to go to visitor night at girls camp so I could see my old friends on the stake camp board.

So, I tried to get on an earlier flight. looked into standby but turns out I was too cheap to pay to have it changed. Apparently if you fly stand by, you have to take the same route to only have to pay $75. Otherwise you would have to "change" your flight for $150. hmmmm how much is getting home early worth... I seriously considered this. But alas decided not to sink anymore money into this over priced trip.

So I opted for my original time, 2:00pm, just to find out as I was entering the airport that my flight was cancelled. I ended up hanging out at the airport for 3 hours for my next flight. luckily it was a direct flight and only got into salt lake 45 minutes later than my original arrival time. So much for getting home any earlier.
Phew that was a close one! Although I loved Boston I am so glad I didn't have to spend another night there. I just wanted to get home so bad!
