Back in Washington.

Christmas has come and gone and we are now back from Utah. We had a great Christmas even if getting to Utah was a little challenging. With Washington getting hit with snow, we decided to stay in a hotel by the airport the night before we were due to leave. We did not want to take any chances on the roads in the morning and miss our flight. We woke up on the 19th of Dec with a relaxing morning as we were only a few minutes from the airport. We made it through security and boarded the plane as it was ontime only to end up being on the plane for eight hours (should be a two hour flight) Salt Lake was getting snow and we were approaching as they closed the runways and got rerouted to Boise to refuel. We soon got cleared to try again to have the runways close and we were once again headed back to Boise for fuel and to sit for our chance to try again. After eight hours on the plane we finally landed in UTAH!!!! Boy was Judson excited.

While we were in Utah we were able to spend time with family and friends. It was great to see everyone and I am sorry for those that it did not work out with on this trip. I hope to see you next time. It was especially great to see my friend Charlee nad her family who were visiting from the Netherlands. I am so glad we were able to spend some time together and I was finally able to meet her little girl. I was also able to relive my past by going roller skating for my friends 30th birthday. Boy was that a blast. Who would have thought all these years later that Holly, Sara and I would be at Classic once again. Judson tried roller skating. we will have to work on that one.

We had a great Christmas but we sure missed Mike. We are more than half way through the deployment and can't wait for him to get home. Even if when he gets home we will be busy with getting ready for the move to Ohio a few weeks later.


I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that the New Year will be great!!!
