Seriously, my love and respect keeps growing for this man!! He was amazing today... helping me pack and dissemble my bed, researching shipping options, sharing wisdom with me and my roommate and engaging in deep conversations about abuse and church leadership and the similarities between African and Native Alaskan cultures... This man is amazing. To think I took him for granted for so many years. I am so grateful that maturity comes as I age...
So another awesome gift from God (via my Dad) is related to my plane ticket back home. If there is one task my Dad will always do for me, it is booking my flights. He is a phenomenal travel agent, I tell you what... :) He knows the ins and outs plus travels so much he racks up miles and can use them for perks for different airlines. Well he gave me the greatest gift today... 20,000 of his airline miles, which he was able to trade in for a FREE first class ticket home for me!!!! Amazing!!! As we were looking for nonstop flights, he mentioned offhand that one had a 8-hr layover in Seattle. I got super excited, because my stellar friend Mindy lives in Seattle! So a quick phone call and a few more minutes of Dad working his travel agent magic and it was all set!! I'm leaving on Tuesday morning June 10th out of Chicago then spending the day with Mindy exploring Seattle and then will continue my travels (first class, baby!) to Anchorage!!! It will be a long but glorious day! Seeing my friend Mindy will be an extra dose of sweet to my bittersweet emotions as I embark on this new chapter...
THANKS DAD!!!
