Vegas...hand in hand.

Made it there and back safe and sound. Black boot and all. Security swabbed it for explosives...all clear in Dallas and in Vegas. Not much to write about except.....

As I sat waiting for our plane to start boarding I saw a handsome guy walk up near our gate with a big bouquet of flowers. He had no ticket. No bag. Just flowers. I am thinking what the heck. They do not allow anyone in the airport without a ticket, so what's this guy doing. He's watching as a plane unloads and people walk out. He looks very excited. I can't take my eyes off of him...knowing I was about to witness something, just wasn't sure what. Lots of people get off the plane. He stands and waits, and waits, and waits. I begin to think whomever it is may have missed their plane. Then I see him smile from ear to ear and start walking toward the gate. A tall, beautiful brunette walks out and he grabs her in a hug and kisses her. She is all smiles and so is he. She...was wearing fatigues...and had a backpack. He stepped back and pulled a box from his pocket. I see a flash of his wedding band....he pulls hers from the box and he places it on her empty left hand. By this time I had tears streaming...he hugs her again and she smiles really big. They walk off hand in hand. Not sure I will ever forget this. You think about the men over fighting for our country....but I forget their are women too. Well...I knew, just didn't think about them leaving a husband behind to do it. I hope they had a nice evening, hand in hand. Such a beautiful sight. I was frozen watching...wish I had snapped a photo, just to remember that tender moment.

Off to clean....company coming tomorrow night.
