We are sitting in the airport in Rapid City waiting to board the first leg of our flight. Already we have felt God's Hand on this trip. Right off, the baggage handler took us under his wing and escorted us up to the United check-in. Of course, through visiting, he found out we were adopting and revealed that he and his wife were foster parents. He was 68 years old with a 7 year old foster daughter. :) Also, as we waited, Jay discovered that he was from Montana, near Plentywood. He even knew some of the same people Jay knows. It's such a small world.
Our check-in took quite awhile. The United agent had a real challenge with her computer and eventually she had to only charge us $25/bag instead of $35/bag. We weren't arguing with her. One of our blue tubs proved to be "suspicious" too. So that was opened and unpacked, checked thoroughly and then re-tied. Apparently, all that toothpaste, hand sanitizer and other medical supplies are suspect.
As we finally cleared through security, we heard that the flight from Rapid to Denver was cancelled because of mechanical. That was the other flight we considered taking. We are so thankful the Lord led us to fly through Chicago.
We should be boarding soon. Here we go!
