Recap of home

The IU game was great! The Hoosiers won. :) Go team. We love sitting in those seats and feared we wouldn't make it to any IU games this year. We are happy that we did.

Sunday we went to our church, Grace, to see the new sanctuary that opened 2 weeks after we left. It was really nice. It made the venue feel much more intimate than it really was. We were quite impressed. We then met up with Heidi, Andrew and Laura for lunch at McAlister's. YUM! We even ran into Gretchen and Gerald there so we enjoyed their kids' antics. So fun!! :) We hung out at the Porterfield's place for a bit then it was time to head to Upland for "Thanksgiving." Shannon stopped by and had appetizers with me. Then we head the real meal: turkey, dressing, potatoes, green bean casserole and apple salad. It was delicious. After that we tried to help my parents pack, but since they seemed to not need us we headed to Ivanhoe's for dessert with Christina! We had a nice time catching up with her and hearing about her wedding plans. Poor Susie even got teased quite a bit about her boyfriend! :) We had a nice time and really enjoyed getting to see everyone! Thank you!

Susie had a few things she needed done around her place so Sunday night we came back to Indy and busted our humps for a little bit. She's doing much better since the surgery, but it still quite restricted in what she can do (i.e. no taking to trash out...Rose Mary! GRR) We then retired because our flight was at 7- so early!

We got to the new aiport without any problems. ;) I cannot say the same for the people who were just so confused and poking along 70 at like 5 mph! GRR! We had Qdoba for breakfast- it was so good. We had never tried to before. They make mini burritos in the morning and I wish they did that all of the time. YUM! Security is really weird at the new airport because they break you up by how often you fly. We fly all of the time so we got a fast line. It was really strange. I really, really hate the Clear service that allows people to cut into security. I seriously told a lady today that she could not cut me again for one of her customers. She tried to fight with me- she clearly had not met me on too little sleep before. I won and she moved to the back of the line. HA! Anyway, our flight was not full at all so we had a row to ourselves. Jackson and I slept most of the way back to Denver. It was lovely. We swung into a Starbucks to poor Jackson some caffeine (he had a FULL day today at his office on like 4 hours of real sleep!) so that he could make it through the day. I dropped him at the office and headed to get MacKenzie. She is soo tired from camp! She had to take a shower as she always stinks when she gets home, but she has been snoozing since.

Tonight we're going to dinner to celebrate our 2nd anniversay that is tomorrow, but I have class in the evening. I better go get myself around as I've spent the day doing laundry, unpacking and settling back into our place here in Parker.

I was so happy to have you here in Indy. It was fun to see you both and you certainly packed alot into a short time. Have a great Anniversay dinner. Hard to believe that it was 2 years ago.
See you at Christmas.
Love to all of you.

it is a good thing it wasn't cort and mike and their clear cards that cut in front of you. the 2 of them can handle the best you got. you would be needing way more than lack of sleep. glad you had a fun, safe trip.

Glad you had a good trip home! Yeah, Clear costs $100 a person (almost $200 now!) so we might be cutting in front of you someday... sorry! ;)
