I'm feeling full of gratitude this morning. My family and I are twelve days away from flying to Utah for Christmas. I'm just so grateful for everyone that made this dream into a reality. We had no intention of flying home the first year we were out here, we didn't have the money to even consider it. Well, thanks to my siblings who thought that just wasn't acceptable, we are able to make the trip back. I want to express how insanely grateful I am to each of my siblings and their spouses and my mother for contributing the money to buy our airplane tickets. This is going to be an extra special Christmas spending it with all of them and I can't wait to get there. The funny thing is that a little boy's prayers have been answered through them. Talin has been praying for the past six months that we could get onto an airplane and go see Grandma and Wesley. Well his prayers are happening, although he hasn't been informed yet because Tom and I want to surprise them the day before we go. Plus we didn't want to be asked everyday over the past month, if this were the day we were going on the airplane. And one more thought for Amy. I can't wait to see you and your family in a couple of weeks, I know the drive will be worth it and we'll have an awesome time.

That is so great. The holidays are always more fun with family. I hope you have a good time. I'll let you know when we might be going home. Hey where in Utah are you going to be. Maybe we can hook up in Salt Lake or something.
That's cute about Talin's prayers, but he sure didn't mention me! Funny though, just last night Jim asked me if I wanted to reconsider because he thought going was "the right thing", whether I wanted to make the effort or not!
