I'm sitting in the Louisville Airport waiting for my flight to San Antonio. I have to say how amazed I am at how the airline industry has been affected by the recent weather. My flight is still good to go, but that's not why I am a lucky guy.
I'm lucky because I have a wife who does far more for me than I think mose wives would. As I already mentioned, I am in Louisville. I could have flown out of Evansville, but I would have paid probably an extra $200 in flight and luggage costs. Since two bags are checked for free and the other two I can carry on, Louisville won.
Of course, the airport's victory is my loss...kind of. A 9:30 am (Eastern Time)flight meant waking up at 3:00 am (Central Time). Who woke up with me AND drove me out here AND will drive back to pick me? Leandra.
I don't think my work with Phi Mu Alpha would be as successful without her. She has driven me to Louisville numerous times to save money on flights for various businesss trips. She has come into Lyrecrest to help me get work done when she gets a day off during the week. She even used her week of vacation to work as a staff member at our National Convention.
For all the grief that I give her...she's the best. I think it would be difficult to find anyone else who is willing to do half the things that she has done for me. I know that being away for two weeks in Texas is not easy for her because she is so far from the rest of her family. It just means that my arrival home in two weeks will be all the more meaningful.
Stop back over the next two weeks to read about Dan in Evansville...in Texas.

Ahh... this is a nice post Dan. Leandra is pretty wonderful isn't she? I'm lucky enough to have her as a sister, which means I've been on the receiving end of her awesomeness my whole life! No one could ask for a better gal. :)
