We headed home to Utah for a quick visit with family. Oh my word it made for an eventful trip too. We were suppose to be home in time to see Jeff Dunham on January 19th. My mom had bought us tickets for Christmas but that is not how things played out.
We were suppose to to fly out on Tuesday Jan. 18th but that morning all flights got canceled due to ice storms. However, it turned out to not be such a horrible thing because I had come down with the flu and was sick all day. The only problem that we ran into was that we would not be flying out until 4pm on Wednesday (Jan. 19th). There was no way that we would make it home in time for the Dunham show and we were so bummed! Then to add to the chaos our connection flight was in Chicago and because our first flight took off late in Connecticut we almost missed our connection. The problems didn't stop there. We RAN to our connection (Mind you, we packed all carry-ons and it was the first time traveling with a child... Lesson learned). Once at the connection flight they told us that we were too late. They said the flight was too full and that we would have to stay in Chicago for the night. UGH!!! They shut the gate started trying to make arrangements for us for the next day. Then they came back and said we can send one of you on this flight and the other can catch a plane in the morning... REALLY! You want to split us up now!? Just as we started to make calls to tell family that we would not be making it until the next day the desk staff called us up and said that we WOULD be getting on the flight right then and we needed to grab our stuff quickly! They opened the gate and Spencer and I made what felt like the 'walk of shame' onto the flight. Oh can I tell you how nice it was to land in Salt Lake and be done with all of that.
Our house has not been rented yet, so we were able to stay in our own home and wow, we were in for some surprises! Our families are seriously just so amazing! They put new floors down in the front room and kitchen. They FINISHED the entire basement, putting two rooms in, one with a walk in closet, the other with a standard closet, and a storage room. They had insulation put in the attic to help with the heating bill. They also worked to get all the odds and ends fixed and DEEP cleaned the whole home! WE LOVE OUR FAMILIES!!! When we left to come home to Connecticut the only things left on the 'To do list' was to redo do the main level bathroom and get a new washer and dryer.
We just really want to thank our families again for everything that they have done to help us out. We can't begin to tell you how much we appreciate everything. You guys have truly helped us reach many of our goals while maintaining so many of our previously reached goals. THANK YOU!!!
