Ok... so I have this thing I do every time I'm about to get on a plane and say a prayer and ask God to please put a bubble around my plane to keep me safe! It may sound corny but hey, it has worked for me so far! However, this flying experience I thought my bubble was BUSTED, had a hole in it, somebody popped it or something?!?!
Let's start with my trip to Oklahoma last week: We were flying through storms and about halfway there out of nowhere the plane started hitting huge air pockets or something and doing 10-15 feet drops... this happened about 5 or 6 times to the point where I actually thought I was going to be sick and throw up. But I did make it through and got to Oklahoma safely. So last night, I couldn't really sleep and I actually had a crazy dream that I got on top of an airplane and it took off and it turned upside down and I fell off... what a crazy dream b/c I never really dream and if I do I never remember them.
This brings us to today: So I'm leaving to come back to Nashville, not thinking anything of it. I've never been the one scared of flying or airplanes. I have my pillow, magazine... all comfortable ready to get home. It's about a 1.5 hour flight from Chicago. Great flight the whole way...nothing happened at all, I was sleeping so well. 15 minutes before we were about to land in Nashville the Pilot gets on the intercom: " We are about to touch down in 15 minutes and we sorta have a problem folks, the Hydraulics System has gone out on the plane and we are not sure if we are going to able to land safely so I contacted the ground crew and they have all the emergency vehicles and units on the ground standing by waiting on us to land in case something goes wrong, so please be prepared but everything should be fine!" WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! My first thought was... is this a joke? For some reason I didn't freak out, I think I was too scared to. I looked around and everybody was like... OH MY GOD! Usually, I don't even pay attention when the plane is landing. THIS TIME, I put all my stuff up neatly, tighten my seat belt as tight as I could, got out my cell phone and was looking at it and thinking should I call or text my family and tell them I love them? Then I just thought that would freak them out plus, I didn't wanna cause anymore damn plane problems by turning on my cell then we already had! So as we got closer to land I looked out the window and sure enough there were alllll the fire trucks, ambulances, police SUV's... they were everywhere. Like they had been preparing for us to come in for hours and for some reason, I had only known for 10 minutes? I wish he wouldn't have told us at alllll. Now I felt like I was preparing to die or something?!?!?! But God loves me and my bubble was still there b/c we landed just fine and all the emergency vehicles followed us down the runway until we stopped and was safe! I was never so happy to turn my cell phone on and tell my mom I landed and would be out in a minute... something I have done a million times before and never thought anything about it (tears). And I thought hitting the air pockets were bad on the way to Oklahoma, I would rather take those any day...lol Long day, going to bed. Gotta fly back out to Oklahoma Friday! Goodnight America! Love you all =)
