We're a family again! Patrick has been home for a month now, and we have really been enjoying the time together. We went to the Poinsettia Bowl where Boise State lost, but we cheered really hard for the home team! Patrick's dad will be here for a visit in a couple of days, so we're looking forward to that visit as well. We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a great New Year!

Six months is almost over!!!

Well, Patrick will be home next week and we could not be happier! Taylor was fortunate to get to meet up with him in Hawai'i and sail back with the ship. She and Grandma Linda left on Saturday and got to spend a couple of days sightseeing before meeting up with Patrick. They left Hawai'i this morning and will be back early next week. The event is called a Tiger Cruise, though I am not sure as to the origin of the name. The ship has all kinds of fun activities planned for the "Tigers". They are having an ice cream social tonight and, weather permitting, will have 2 movie nights on the flight deck. It's a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity for Taylor and I am looking forward to hearing all about it!
Time while Patrick is gone alternately crawls and flies, but the last six months have been eventful! We are so thankful that he will be home for Thanksgiving and we wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
