Nothing exciting here, just kind of a good story

I thought I’d just share something kind of cool that happened to me while I was in Philadelphia this past week. Besides the fact that I got to see some of the fam, this event actually happened as I was waiting for boarding to SLC.


Well, after a tearful goodbye from Nick and Kim, I was dropped off at the airport, and continued through the security checkpoints and the whole she-bang. I got to my gate with about 45 minutes to boarding, and after finding out that in order to use the airport internet, I had to pay a fee of about 7.00, I decided to forget about it and sleep. I was still recovering from the time change from Utah, though I had been there for about 4 days, so I was pretty tired. So I put on my headphones and closed my eyes. At the time I had a somewhat tight BYU beanie on so I really couldn’t hear anything.


I don’t know how long I was there, but I woke up to someone jostling me awake. The man that woke me up wasn’t a worker there, but asked me if I was supposed to get on flight to SLC (I was sitting right outside the gate). He then told me they were already boarding.


Well the flight left at 5:10 and he woke me up between 4:50 and 5:00. I was about the 5th to last person to board the plane and had he not woken me up, would’ve had to stay with Nick and Kim for a little bit more time. The man probably saw me with the BYU beanie right outside the SLC gate and put two and two together. I just thought I’d share this story. To say the least, I was extremely grateful for the good samaritan. Don’t really remember what he looked like (because I just woke up from a coma, and was really disoriented) but was happy for his help. There ya go.
