It's 11 am and I've already put in a 6 hour day

My sister, Sarah, has been dating Austin for 3 years. This summer he went off to the guards...he graduates from Basic today. He's been gone since the end of May. Anyway, Sarah's been depressed all summer without him. She's been working around, and looking forward to today all summer, just to see him on graduation before he goes up to the next level until December.

 

About two weeks ago, she realized a round trip there would be over 400, but she was planning on coming back with his parents, so why pay for something you're not doing? So she decided to do a standby flight. Which would take her to Minneapolis. From there, they would tell her if she could or could not get on the plane...pretty much going off of luck. She cut and dyed her hair for this. She spent days putting together the perfect outfit for this. She took work off for this.

 

 This morning when I dropped her off there were only 3 seats left, and she made it. Then she got to Minneapolis, and there was only one seat left. I kept asking her to update me through the day, to see what was going on, if I should stay and wait for her in case there were no seats and she had to fly back home...Ahh there was only one seat left. She had to wait til everyone was seated to see if she could have that one seat or not. I got a reply at 9 a.m. this morning

 

  "B.z....the guy in front of me is reading the Twilight book."

 

Ahh, thank God.
