We were gonna do the traditional Valentine's Day. Dinner. Dresses. Kisses. Love.
I've never celebrated Valentine's Day, and I don't think Xelia has either.....
I've been traveling since 4am today, and it's been a bit of a nightmare. Literally.
I booked this ticket a month ago, and had an anxiety dream at the time that I went to the wrong airport and missed my flight.
So....I went to the wrong airport and missed my flight. For real. It was straight out of the nightmare, even looked just the same. So revise term nightmare; replace with noun premonition.
My flight should have been at 6am, but I got to the (second) airport at 5:45 and they had locked the gate. So I sat there helpless while my plane was on the runway, and got on the 7am flight.
The 7am flight landed on time....but sat on the runway for an hour. They told me I was still fine for my connecting flight, so I let other passengers get off before me for their rush....only to find out that my connecting flight took off without me. So I feel like a total ass for being nice.
....I stood by for about 4 other flights, all down to the wire, but they had no room for me. The airline calls this my fault for missing my initial flight, even though I would have made my connection if I could have gotten off the bloody plane once it landed.
They were trying to charge me change fees. Um....no? I couldn't afford this flight....I had to pay on credit card and will probably not pay it off until July....maybe later, given how my job hunt has gone - my bank account is literally in the double digits. They aren't taking more of my money because the airport got backed up!
Finally I got them to switch me onto a connecting flight to Orange County, as trying for San Diego seemed a guaranteed way to miss Valentine's day with my honey. So Xelia and Heather hit the road and drove 2 hours to pick me up.
So much for our fancy dinner reservations.
The OC airport is orange perfumed. Not kidding.
I should have arrived before 10am. I didn't get to San Diego until after 10pm.
But the best feeling in the world is Xelia's skin against mine. Home is her.
xelia., zsoltika, Ryan J John, Surrenderdefeat, and 11 other people added this photo to their favorites.

My two fave girls together. Sometimes things get in the way, but love will always overcome. (But next time don't be so nice to others) ;)

Oh this is SO GREAT. I have not been keeping up with anyone - been too busy and too tired. I did not know you had this booked! I am so happy for you two.

If the choice was doing it all again, even with double the time or stress, you would jump to volunteer.... The price of love is cheap and the rewards make you rich.

seriously, you can look at this as an omen, or you can look at this as the long road of perseverance towards something so completely worth it.
i so know the feeling of having a plane take off without you, especially when a little bit more competence on the part of airline staff would have put you on the damn plane. last june it took me 30 hours to get from dallas to spokane.
but you know you'd fly through shitstorms to be with each other. so glad you finally are in each others' arms again. Xelia's smile in this photograph is absolutely priceless... wordlessly expresses volumes; looks like she's about to cry tears of relief to finally have you again. gorgeous.

I flew out to SD for a business trip a few months ago, and every single one of us (there were 6 of us, mostly on different flights) had problems. Maybe it's just their airport!
Glad you made it though - being together makes it all worth it, huh?!
