Today I did something super scary. Most of you know I LOVE to travel. I love exploring new places and trying new things...AND I LOVE being my family’s travel agent (so to speak) and finding super, inexpensive travel deals. One thing that constantly holds us back when traveling is flying...specifically the thought of flying with Trachelle. Trey & I fly often but we have NEVER taken Trachelle. Most of my friends & family know that when it comes to Trachelle, I live in my COMFORT ZONE...new things are SCARY, new places are SCARY!!! I am known to be EXTREMELY detailed and very cautious when it comes to Trachelle’s care...going new places, trying new things...SCARY! To avoid some SCARY(hurtful) situations I am a HUGE PLANNER...most might say I am extreme. :) I have been known to show up 2-3 hours before and event so we have a place to sit as a family, or send Trey into a restaurant to make sure it will accomodate Trachelle, or send Trey to meet with the pastor when visiting a new church...all SCARY. Preparing in advance is what allows me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things as a family. This winter we will be traveling to Colorado...normally we drive the 10 hour trip if Trachelle is traveling with us. Today I was searching online, like I have done a MILLION times before, and I found some GREAT rates to Colorado. I filled my online cart with flights for 3 people and then stared at the screen for an hour. Finally, I got up from my computer and talked to Trey. He said “book-it”!!! Sooooo, I sat back down at my computer, closed my eyes and PUSHED the button!!!! Sometimes, to explore life, we just need to PUSH THE BUTTON!!!
