02/24/2008 DEREK'S "26TH" BIRTHDAY!

To attend Derek's Birthday Party in St. George, I got up at 5:00 am because we all slept at the Arlene and Ray Stoddard's home in Roy, UT., so I could get myself dressed and ready for the day. Shelle got Jaks, herself and Kassi up at 6:00 am to get ready, so we could drive to Katy's house, pick her up so she could take us to the airport by 8:30 am. So we could then get through Security and to the SkyWest terminal by 9:30 am to board our plane around 9:40 am. We learned that our plane was having problems so our flight was delay until 11:20 am. SkyWest found another plane and swapped so we could go to St. George. We boarded the plane, taxied out to the runway and sat. The captain came on after about 20 minutes and told us that one of the plane's wings was not De-icing properly. So he had been told to return to the terminal until Maintenance could determine if it could be fixed immediately or not. So we sat at the terminal for about 20 minutes until the flight attendent told us that we would be deplaning and to return to the waiting area inside the terminal. So we did. We waited for a while and then was told to board another plane which took off and we arrived in St. George about 2:30 pm. What an experience! It was great!
WE MADE THE PARTY!!! Below is the cake Derek picked out!
