Easter trip

I have terrible luck in flying.  I had planned a trip to spend Easter with Daisy's family in Kansas.  My original trip took me from Newark to O'Hare to Wichita going there on Friday and from Wichita to St. Louis to Newark on the way back on Monday.  The biggest mistake I made was flying through Chicago in what can still be considered a time for winter weather.  I had checked in online and went to bed early in order to catch an early train to Newark.  For some reason I received a call from American Airlines at around 11:30 PM.  I didn't answer, but I couldn't go back to sleep without knowing what is going on.  I went online to see what was happening and found out that my flight from O'Hare to Wichita was cancelled.  I called back and found out that I was already rebooked on a flight from Newark to Dallas to Wichita.  I then checked those flights and saw that I would probably be on standby on both flights.  I was tired and decided I would catch the first train to Newark to try and get it straightened out.  I tried to go back to bed but discovered I couldn't go back to sleep.  I catch the train without any trouble.  When I got to the airport I went and saw what they could do.  They put me back on to the original flight to O'Hare and then a later flight to Wichita.  I went through security.  Just as they are about to board, they announce Chicago is getting a winter storm and the flight would be delayed for at least an hour and a half.  I finally get to Chicago, but I can't see the status of my flight.  I call Daisy and tell her to go ahead and head down to Wichita to pick me up.  When my flight comes up on the screen I see that my flight was cancelled.  I go and make sure that I'm on standby for the only flight to Wichita that hasn't been cancelled.  My name comes on the list and I'm third.  I tell Daisy to go ahead and turn back not thinking that I would get on.  I talk to the agent and see if they could at least get me confirmed on a flight.  The next flight wouldn't be until Sunday.  They suggested that I talk to a travel agent because they couldn't find any other flights.  I call and suggest another airport.  They get me on a flight to Kansas City.  I go to the agent to see if they could print out my ticket and they said I would have to go back through security.  About this time the airport declares a weather emergency and nothing comes in or out.  I get my ticket and call Daisy to tell her to head to Kansas City.  I go back to find that my flight was delayed an hour.  I finally get to leave to Chicago after about 5 inches of snow have fallen.  I get to Kansas City and have to wait a little bit for Daisy and her family to get there.  By the time we are all together it was late and there was no point in trying to drive back.  We looked for a place in Kansas City, but we couldn't find anywhere.  We end up staying the night in Lawrence, KS.  The next morning we left for Osborne.  The rest of the weekend turned out really nice.  We were able pick out the tuxes and me the pastor.  I was also able to meet her mom's family.  Riding ATV's in Kansas is a lot of fun.  Daisy and I go to get our marriage license on Monday, and she notices that her tire is a little flat.  We go to get it taken care of and discover that there was a nail in it.  We get to Wichita and my flight was actually on time.  I get to St. Louis without any trouble.  I get to my gate and discover that I have to check my bag.  The previous flight had a plane the same size and I didn't have to check my bag.  I get to Newark at around 11 PM and I just miss the train.  I wait about an hour and catch the next one.  By the time I get back it is about 1:30 AM.  I am tired of flying.
