Today was 100% travel day. We woke up… And finished a little packing we had left for today.… We realized we still had too much stuff to carry so one of our first stopped after we had dropped some extra stuff over at Max and Becky’s was to go and buy a new duffel bag. We’re a four duffel bag family now I guess.… We drove the hour then to Albuquerque and got there in time to wait patiently for our plane. It turns out that weather in Chicago… Midway point… Had gotten bad and all flights were on ground hold until that clear. Miraculously they loaded us anyway and we got a lucky break and were able to takeoff only about a half an hour late…. This sounded bad but it was far better cried and eight hours and hours and hours of delay is that we were anticipating.

Not much to report from the flight back. I worked both lights… Several recommendation letters, a bunch of work follow up both from IBM and from Beto… And then I got to settle in and do some mathematical programming that I’m helping my brother with.… That part was fun!

Kyle picked us up around 1030… Again about half an hour late… And we came back to our home. Feels so great to be back. The house was warm… The only thing that still strikes us when we come back after these long trips is that there are no dogs to greet us. I can feel that in my heart to I miss those girls

It was a wonderful vacation we just had… Lots of great family time lots of great Friend time… Outdoor time… Eating time… Just time.

Ready to jump back in to the rest of the year.

Welcome home us!

NITE ALL, NITE SAM
