Merry Christmas to everyone and we hope that everyone is having a great holiday season. We decided to take a quick break from everything today to tell you about our travels and what we've been doing this holiday season.
We drove out of Utah on Saturday December 17th, believing that the weather should be fairly nice across the country. But as the snow storm hit us in Salt Lake, we realized this trip might be a bit more difficult that we thought. It took us several more hours than it should have going through the first 30 miles of Wyoming because of that snow storm; because the roads were slick ice and we were trying to drive through a snow storm in the mountains, we drove 25 miles an hour the whole way. There was one point in Evanston where we had to decide whether or not to keep going or turn back for Christmas. But with a prayer in our hearts we made it through the storm and the rest of the trip was beautiful weather, albeit cold.
We spent a day at Wayne's parents' house in Michigan and played with family. It was a nice rest from the drive. Then Wayne spent an afternoon talking with a professor at CMU. After their discussion, he wants to go to CMU even more, but the competition doesn't give him much hope of getting in.
Wayne had bought Rebecca tickets to see Les Miserables for their anniversary and they went to see that in DC. Traffic was horrible but the musical made up for all that [soooo cool!].
The holidays have been wonderful here in warm Virginia. It has been great to spend time with family and relax from our previously busy lives. However, up until Christmas day, it felt like we were still just as busy trying to get things done. But we're finally resting at Chris and Katie's house and the forest around us is relaxing.
We send all our love to those of you this Christmas/Holiday season. May you have a wonderful time and think on your blessings.
