NOT leaving on a jet plane...not yet.

So if you wanted to fly to Chile today, good luck getting there. We arrived at the SLC airport this morning only to find that all flights to Atlanta had been canceled. The lucky part was that I was with my friend and former mission companion Heidi. She is as easy going as I am. We just chit-chatted it up with the rest of the disgruntled passengers.

One girl we met was from Georgia, she had come to Utah to for freight worker training. She kept telling us that she was making a pretty penny.  At first we didn't know what the heck she was talking about.  Heidi even said, "wait, I'm confused. What are you talking about?"  She had had a hard time adjusting to Utah. No sweet tea, no waffle houses...she was ready to get home. My favorite was when she offered us some Oreos. I said no at first, but then I saw that they were double stuffed so I dug right in. Here are some photos of the lovely young lady, Heidi, and myself just having a grand old time.

Once we got to the front of this line, we had to deal with Dan. Dan was the man. I mean it! He tried every route. At first we weren't going to be able to fly out until Wednesday. After Dan got through with us, he had tried every option, even routing us through Paris. No such luck, but we were able to get through the next day on a flight to Mexico City, then on to Chile. He was really happy because we weren't rude or complaining. He even said, "Wow, at least you girls are having a nice time in line." He was right. Dan the man was awesome. He would talk on this red phone and we kept saying, "Oh boy, he's getting out the red phone." Dan loved it. We are recommending him for a promotion!

So we had no choice but to go back home. We were starved so Jenni picked us up and we headed to The Other Place. It's a dope eating establishment that we often frequent. We got so much yummy food. Lemon Chicken Rice Soup, grilled turkey sandwich, and the French toast combo! Too fat not to eat it!

The final adventure for our staycation was dying Heidi's hair! We bought bleach at the local beauty supply store and hunkered in for long night of making dark hair light. What a time. It all looked good except the front part. It was pumpkin patch orange! Ahhh...So we kept reapplying the bleach. Man. There is a video on her blog if you want to see it, I can't figure out why it won't upload. I wish I could have gotten her first reaction, we were both laughing so hard and shw was screaming. Priceless!
