Good ole' OKC

On a last minute decision, I decided to move to okc. I had quite an adventure coming here might I add. As I was about to board my flight in SLC, and I found out my flight had been delayed because of bad weather at the Denver airport, where my layover was. I boarded my flight an hour late. I landed at the Denver airport and then found out my gate was changed and my layover was now 2 hours longer than expected. About 2 and a half hours later I finally boarded the plane, sat down in my seat and started to relax.
After a while of sitting in silence I turned to fellow passengers as the lady next to me jokingly says; "Now they have to blow-dry the ice of the side of the plane". The man behind her chuckles and says; "They have no one to push us out, I'll go out there and push". That then started a whole lot of mummers for we had now been sitting there for 30 minutes. Then the pilot comes on overhead "Um I guess we are switching planes, I don't know why, I just found out."
Everyone was very frustrated as they told us our plane was at the original gate. We walked from 42 to 58. There a man on a megaphone informed us that they didn't have fuel in the plane, they were working on a wheel, they have to move our luggage over to this plane, find a new crew, and since they already took our tickets; they were going to check us on row by row.
After another hour of waiting I boarded the plane. I never thought I could bond with the most random diverse group of strangers like I did. I felt like it was Oceanic flight 815. I landed in okc at 2pm, and walked as fast as I could over to baggage clam because that's where Kylan was waiting for me and I hadn't seen him in 5 weeks! I saw him standing there with a bouquet of flowers. I gave him the biggest grin, I could not stop smiling. We stood there hugging for it seemed like 10 minutes. My whole plane walking by us and admiring and commenting
I got lucky and got to stay in the office empty bedroom for free. The first day here I went on a job with Kylan. I was very tired and had to wait in the car so I was thinking I'll just sleep. It was 95 degree weather and I was wearing jeans. They car was turned off as I fell asleep. About a half and hour into it I woke up in a dead sweat. I was roasting! I quickly turned on the car and I thought I was going to die.
It sure gave me appreciation for Kylan and his dedication and devotion to support me and our future family. I got a bite of what he goes through everyday. He is a strong, motivated person I will always look up to. He has the biggest ambition and has a great out-look on life. We have had some good times out here, and some rough, but life is a learning experience. We take what works, leave what doesn't. I am so grateful for Kylan, he is the love of my life.
