WHEN I FLY, I GET SETTLED AND SNOOZE. I USUALLY AM OUT UNTIL THE FIRST BEVERAGE SERVING. I WOKE UP TO SEE THAT WE WERE STILL ON THE GROUND. NO, IT WASN'T THE SNOW THAT WAS KEEPING OUR PLANE ON THE GROUND. THE LAVORATORIES WEREN'T FLUSHING. 2 HOURS LATER WE WERE UP AND FLYING. 4 1/2 HOURS LATER WE ARRIVED IN DETROIT. RICH LIVES IN MIDLAND, ~100 MILES FROM DETROIT. THE WEATHER WAS SO BAD THAT IT TOOK US THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO DRIVE AS WE FLEW.
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME. I AM NOT COMPLAINING. I LOVE BEING HERE. THANKS MA AND PA!
ON CHRISTMAS EVE RICHARD BLESSED HIS NEW SON, LUKE. IT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. I KNOW, I KNOW, I AM MISSING OUT ON THE REWARDS OF MARRIAGE AND PARENTHOOD BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS IT HAPPENS, RIGHT?!
CHRISTMAS MORNING, I DECIDED, MUST BE DONE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN. I LOVED THIS MORNING. MY NEPHEW, SPENCER, WAS AFRAID OF SLEEPING IN TOO LATE. HE WOKE UP AT 3 AM JUST AS I WAS GETTING UP TO USE THE RESTROOM. HIS PARENTS SAID NOT UNTIL AT LEAST 5 AM. HE PROCEEDED TO WAKE UP AT 4 AND THEN 5 AM. THE BABY ALSO WOKE AT 5, THUS CAVING MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE'S RESERVATIONS OF GETTING THE HOUSE UP THAT EARLY.
I AM HERE FOR A FEW DAYS MORE AND AM EXCITED FOR THE DAYS AND ADVENTURES IN THE COMING DAYS!
