Mission Complete

Since the moment I heard Nikki had to fly to New Mexico for a work thing, I had been a ball of nerves. Why? Because she had to fly, on an airplane, with connecting flights and everything. In case you didn't know, I am deathly afraid of airplanes and all that comes with it. I have only ever been to one airport before in my life, and the whole entire time I was there I thought I was going to hyperventalate and pass out right there in the middle of the airport from lack of oxygen. I have a severe phobia of flying, I wouldn't even ride the escalator in the airport. No thank you, I would rather walk up the stairs and not get my pant leg dragged down the escalator when I don't get off in time. Stairs are just much more safe. Anyways, Nikki asked me if I would pick her up from the airport when she arrived home. (She wanted to give me more airport experience, I say she was trying to give me a heartattack) Nervously, I said OK. Her flight arrived at 9:55pm. I HAD TO GO AT NIGHT to pick her up, which makes it even worse, since I am night blind. I live about 20 minutes from the airport. I left my house that night, alone, at 9:00. Her connecting flight didnt even leave until 9:10. I got to the airport. I was so nervous that I almost peed my pants and then I waited for her. At first I didn't know what gate or anything. So I just waited and followed everyone else. Luckily I was in the right spot. The point is that Nikki is home safely, no one hijacked her or kidnapped her and my heart is still beating. Baby steps people!!!!
