San Francisco!

What a great trip San Francisco was for me! After being horribly sick on Wednesday and Thursday (might have been the N1H1, but I refuse to think so!) I went back to work Friday morning. I still felt not so great and my boss sent me to work from home the rest of the day. I went home and worked in my PJs and lounged on the couch taking dayquil every few hours. I went to get Braxton from school and then it was time to go!!! We drove up to Omaha to get Jodi. We jumped in the van and headed to the airport.

Once we got to the airport, we found out that we were on a smaller plane. It had propellers! Jodi and I were a little nervous about that. It turned out fine and we made it to Denver with no problems. However, once we got to Denver, there was no gate for us to land at, so we landed on the tarmac and walked into the airport. That was a little weird. We finally made it to our next gate, which was all the way across the airport. Our flight to San Jose was delayed about 45 minutes. At that point, Jodi and I were starving and so tired we could hardly stay awake! We grabbed some dinner and sat down to wait. Finally we boarded our plane and were on our way to San Jose! Jodi and I had a great time chatting and talking to the very hilarious and sarcastic flight attendant.

I know this isn't a great picture because it is from my phone, but this is the people from our plane to Denver on the tarmac checking out the plane.

We landed in San Jose and Stacey and Gwen came to get us. We went to IN and Out for some late night dinner and then back to Stacey's. By this time it was almost 2am in Nebraska. Jodi and I were exhausted! Geneva on the other hand is 3 hours behind California, so it was only 9pm or so at her house. It was crazy! Finally we all crashed for the night! Saturday was so awesome, I think it deserves it's own post!

The Anticipation of Snow

Call me crazy, but I love the first snowfall of the year. I love the anticipation of it. I love watching out the windows for that first snowflake. Looking at the gray misty sky just wondering when the first flake would fall. When I was little my mom would always come and wake us up to the see the snow. There is just something magical about the first snowfall. Everything seems to pure and clean. Don't get my wrong, I hate driving in snow. I hate being cold. But I love the first snowfall. Since this first snowfall is supposed to be on Saturday, I can engage in my favorite snow day activities; snuggling with my kids and a warm blanket, hot chocolate, and movies (or hopefully a good book if the kids are interesting in the movie!)
I will be anxiously looking out my window tomorrow for the first hint of the flakes in the air. I am sure by the end of the day I will be complaining, but for a little while it is my favorite!
