One<\/b><\/div>\n

Is this true? Southwest Airlines allows you to take luggage on the plane for free? I\u2019m stunned. And a car seat or stroller extra? Has anyone told them what all the other airlines are doing? DON\u2019T though, before I travel.<\/p>\n

Two<\/b><\/div>\n

Even with luggage, I\u2019m nervous about flying with all these kids. I mean, I did fly home from California gravely pregnant with four kids by myself. So, with two of us, and the lung capacity to do a fast sprint down the length of a terminal, we should be fine, right?<\/p>\n

Three<\/b><\/div>\n

Really, what it comes down to, is that I\u2019ve spent the Entire Course of my life trying not to draw attention to myself when traveling. And I\u2019ve gotten to be very good at it. And here I am, about to just willingly chuck that out the window, all because I\u2019m that desperate for a proper holiday.<\/p>\n

Four <\/b><\/div>\n

Its just that, as I sit here gazing out at the heat rising up in great waves, (I\u2019m not speaking for Matt, maybe he has thought this all the way through) I didn\u2019t premeditate having six children in ten years. So, I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019ve quite caught up. So that\u2019s definitly something I should work on before flying.<\/p>\n

Five<\/b><\/div>\n

Just like I didn\u2019t plan on having three sets of dishes. I\u2019m grateful for them all. I love them. I don\u2019t know how to properly store them. Not that I\u2019m storing my children. They all fit just fine.<\/p>\n

Six<\/b><\/div>\n

Or maybe its like being saved from sin. Its not something you make plans for. God just does it out of his great mercy, and then you can just sit back and be ever so grateful. <\/p>\n

Seven<\/b><\/div>\n

Just like I\u2019ll be when we\u2019re there safe and sound, sitting back in a beautiful garden, drinking something more lovely than we ever imagine or deserve. As my psychopathology professor used to drawl, \u201cIts goonnnaaaa bee okaaaay. You\u2019re gooonnnaaaaa beeee okaaaaay.\u201d<\/p>\n
