On the Plane

Alaska, Here We Come!

We made it! After a long (and I mean long) direct flight from Dallas to Anchorage, we finally touched down in the Last Frontier. The views from the plane were absolutely stunning—so much untouched land, rivers winding like ribbons, and mountains rising like God’s fingerprints across the earth.

I sat next to a woman who left a mark on my heart. She had just buried her mother days before and was flying back to work with barely a breath in between. She never had children but shared about her beloved dog, who had become her world. It was one of those conversations that reminds you how different our stories are, yet how much we all need someone to listen. I was grateful for that unexpected connection.

The flight crew had a hiccup—they lost the catering order, so no real meals made it on board. Just a few cookies passed out for couch passengers. I was so thankful we had packed snack boxes for the kids! That small bit of planning saved us from a very hangry situation at 35,000 feet.

Grateful for safe skies, sweet conversations, and the incredible world God made. Alaska, we’re ready for the adventure!Read more
