not this cute anymore!
no, seriously-- I have a lot to write about and I would rather have our anniversary highlights at the top of my blog page rather than this... but a few people have asked for the link of me on the news so here it is.

I was interviewed for about 10 minutes, while Aaron was working his magic booking flights on another airline. They also got footage of Aaron and I together, but this all I can find online right now. It shows me for about 6 seconds at the 1 minute mark.. and that's my voice at the end "They're not treating their employees right and they treat their customers like crap. So how are they going to stay in business?" That was mild compared to what I said to the Spirit exects at the airport. Aaron had to hold me back.
We were literally in the airport ALL DAY Monday-- three different connecting flights to get home to our babies. Anyway, we laughed so hard about this little video ditty. First of all, I turned into a HOBO on this trip... humidity + hours of driving in a convertible converts you into a slob. And I want to live that way forever. Second of all, they aired me saying "AS IF!" If I can't look like an uppity Clueless snob, at least I can talk like one.
I will explain more about our "experience" with Spirit Airlines later. It's a great story and made our 10 year anniversary that much more memorable. All I can say is if you're ever stuck somewhere, make it be with someone you love. We had an awesome day. It could have been terrible, miserable, stressful. But instead we spent hours making up the most annoying fake laughs and trying them out on strangers... We talked to news reporters, booked new flights on another airline, spent way too much time watching people in the airport making up stories about them, made plans for our future.. We window shopped cities from the airports: St. Louis, Austin, El Paso.. and had a great time doing it. It doesn't matter if I am on the beach, parasailing, snorkeling or hanging out in the airport with my man. I will go wherever he goes and do whatever he does. He's THAT cool and I honestly had a great time. But I was so glad to finally get home to our kids..
More Spirit talk later. Now I must feed my baby. I love that I still have a baby! And an adorable one at that!

Spirit airlines is all I've been hearing about on the news, and I've never heard of them, so I didn't think they made that many flights. I can't believe they were your airline! I'm glad you got home. And I am so jealous of this trip. The beach, the drive, the adventure - that is totally my kind of vacation. I'm glad you guys had a good time.
I couldn't see you anywhere in the link you posted, but I found another link on their website with a similar title that you were in. Crazy. Sounds like it could have been a potential nightmare. I'm glad the two of you had eachother to make the best out of a rotten situation.
it looks like their switching the videos around. There are two different clips of me out there.. neither of them worth searching long for.
Yes we were SO fortunate to #1 get ALL our money back. #2 still be able to vacation #3 fly home the same day (inconvenient or not) #4 not have to pay an arm and a leg for our same-day flights. When I say Aaron worked magic, I mean it. There were literally thousands of people not so lucky.
ahhhhhh! I'm so happy you got away! What a great vacation - I'm soooo jealous. I would take a crazy day in the airport for time alone on a beach with my hubby :)
