Trip to Montana

Hello everyone!

Well, we are have a trip planned to come back home.  We are set to leave tomorrow.  My dad and his girlfriend were able to get us some buddy passes, the only downfall is that they are 'standby' tickets.  So, we are driving to Dallas tomorrow morning, and hopefully we will be able to get on the first plane that leaves at 1:40 pm.  The problem with flying standby, for those of you who don't know (because I had no clue!) is if the plane fills up, then we lose our spot on that flight, and have to wait for the next one, so on and so forth...
So if everything goes smoothly, we will board the plane at 1:40, and we have a layover in Seattle (and we are on standby in Seattle as well) then we will fly through to Billings.  I believe if we make the first flights in both cities, we will be in billings around midnight on Monday (tomorrow).  So everyone please pray that we get on those flights, not because it will be an inconvenience to be stuck at the airport, but because Pat is very weak, and is not going to do well stuck at the airport. 

As far as when we arrive in Billings, we would like to see so many people, and there is going to be so little time!  We were thinking about trying to coordinate a casual, low-key dinner or something, so we would be able to see many people at the same time.  Similar to the fundraiser dinner we had before we left, but not necessarily with a fundraiser portion.  If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, or would like to help coordinate it, please contact me!  We can't wait to see so many of you!!

I would just like to say thank you to my Dad, Leah, and Pat's parents, Steve and Kathy for doing everything necessary to make this trip happen for us!  We love all of you!  Thank you!

I would also like to say thank you to those of you that have donated to our cause thus far!  We truly appreciate everyone's efforts!  Thank you!

Well I better get busy packing and such!  It is going to be a really long day tomorrow! 

Love
Jen :)
