SG Visit

Well of course we jump at the opportunity to go back home for a visit. This past visit came with some sadness. We found out that Brian's Great Grandma Rose passed away during the early morning hours of Jan 26th. She had a good long life (she was 99) so we couldn't be to sad.

Brian got his leave approved and we left here at about 10:30 pm on Friday night. That was the first and probably the last time we will try to drive during the night. We got about 40 miles away and our truck started having problems. Thankfully we were able to make it home, and Brian being the mechanic that he is was able to fix the truck the next morning ($600 + later). Our mechanical issues made us miss grandma's memorial.

For some reason I always forgot to take pictures while we were there, so those of you who did take pictures (especially Shan and Julie) please share your pictures with me :)

These are the few that I got while there.

We were playing in my mom's living room when we saw this chicken come up to their sliding glass window. Apparently their neighbors have chickens that like to come over for little visits

Lucas was SUPER EXCITED to ride my friend's (THANK YOU ROBIN) 4-wheeler. The only thing that made it better was that he was double excited to get to wear his new gear (gloves, helmet, and goggles). I almost had a heart attack when less than an hour after they left to ride Brian sent me a text saying that they were stranded and I need to send someone to rescue them. It took an hour and half, 4 phone calls, 4 friends/family, and a stranger with a 4-wheeler to finally find them! All was well, and even though it was dark and cold by then, Lucas seemed like he had a good time playing in the sand.

Thanks to all the friends and family we were able to see on this trip! We miss you guys and hope to see you again in May :)
