what a story

as some of u know  keesha and i have been friends for a long time. we met online at a forum we both belonged to a while ago, well  to make a long story short we got to meet, had wanted to get together for a bit longer but we took what we could get. timing just did  not work out for us to get to spend a entire day so i drove up to the airport to visit with her while she was waiting for her connection(she had been in portland visiting her mom previously so when we found out she had a layover we said cool we can meet in real life. so we did     ,one small thing messed us up it took me almost 1 1/2 hours to get thru security because was not prepared and all my   stuff in my purse set off the warning issues, i was able to go back into the secure area finally(she and i are both disabled so they made exceptions)   here is a picture of us together    with her 2 kidlets   don't we look happy:)
