some people ARE lucky in love

I witnessed a small love-related miracle last night.

Brakston's girlfriend, Whitney, is home in Spokane for semester break so it had been 12 L-O-N-G days since he'd seen her. He was getting a bit mopey. He decided to fly up to Spokane to see her. Unfortunately, the flights were NOT cooperating. We fly standby so if the flights are full, you're out of luck and they were FULL! It was not looking good. More mopiness.

Then, suddenly, at 8:45 pm it looked possible to get on the 9:45 pm flight. But, would it be possible to even get there on time?

Brakston threw clothing in a suitcase so fast. And, I do mean THREW! It was the worst packing job I've ever seen! Kevin was on the computer trying to get him listed for the flight. Then the two of them ran out the door. It is a 30-minute drive to the airport. They arrived at the airport at 9:22 (for a 9:45 flight) and he still had to get his ticket when he got there. He still managed to get on that flight. Somehow.

Unbelievable!
