Holidays





Whew! What a week we have had. Chris was able to come in on the last flight into seattle on December 20th. In case you have been in a fox hole, the Northwest was hammered with snow the last week and a half, and Chris was very lucky to be able to get in. On Sunday we went to the Seahawks game courtsey of my company, amazing seats! However with a 2000 Honda Civic and 6 inches of snow in Seattle, we left in the middle of the 2nd quarter to make sure we got back up to Everett. Good bye Mr. Farve. We then spent about a day in Everett, and went back down to SeaTac where we left at 1 am (on time!) and spent the next 24 hours in various airports, tarmacs, and runways. Due to mechanical issues we missed our first flight, due to mechanical issues our rescheduled connection was delayed, delayed then canceled, our 3rd rescheduled flight was delayed delayed, moved to a different gate/terminal, overweight then took off eventually around 9:45pm. Our original flight would have been at 9:20 am, so we spent an extra 12 hours in the Memphis airport courtsey of Northwest Airlines. Eventually we got to Oklahoma and were able to spend a wonderful but quick Christmas Eve Day there, then we were back on the plane at 6 am on Christmas Day to head back to seattle.

I met a lot of Chris' family, although not everyone. I would attempt to name everyone in the picture below, but I doubt I would succeed! We are off to a Hockey Game tonight for New Years, pictures to come!

boomer sooner!

Chirs was able to come up this past weekend, not without flight problems of course! He eventually made it up here on the 4th, and left on the morning of the 8th and made it back to Eagar around 11 am on the 9th. No he didnt drive, and the airlines only lost his bag once, thank goodness!

Over the weekend it was very busy, went shopping, had Christmas parties, and more shopping. I did not buy ONE thing! Chris on the other hand he sure loves his Nike Outlet store! Probably the best thing that happend over the weekend happened to be at my work Christmas party. They had a raffle going on throughout the night, two flat screens, numerous gift cards to stores and, when I got picked to come up and pull out my prize.....drumroll please.....2 Club seats for the Seattle Seahawks game on December 21st against the Brett Farve and the Jets. The icing on the cake is that Chris will be in town on that day so I can take him!

Yes Chris missed the OU-Missouri game (I think he likes me!), but was getting constant score updates from his brother, and we were able to watch the game when we got home because we DVR'd it. BOOMER SOONER!

I apologize for not having any pictures posted, it seems that it completely spaced our minds! I will post pictures over Christmas break!
