In the car, yet again!
So we're mostly packed for the trip back to New Mexico. We've got almost everything in suitcases or bags and in the hall ready to go into the car. We're not planning on leaving until around 10am as Meriah doesn't get out of work until around 6pm. Hopefully the drive will be uneventful (I'm sure it will be) and we'll make good time. We're taking Sat off from driving and will just hang out with Meriah, since we didn't get that chance on our trip out to Alabama.
We should be back in New Mexico sometime Sunday night, probably around 8pm. I'm not working until 10am on Monday, so I should be able to get some sleep before having to be back at work. Tuesday is New Year's and I'm not working a full day so that will help me recover, but Wednesday is a sale changeover so I've got to be at work extra early for that (UGH!). Oh well, no rest for the weary I guess.
Ok, sleep now!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Merry Christmas!! We're having a great time in Alabama, we just got done opening presents, having breakfast (at noon!), and getting things cleaned up some in the living room. Erin and I got a bunch of stuff that we had asked for, as well as a bunch of stuff that we didn't that we enjoy just as much. From movies, to tools, to games, to clothes; everything is great and we will get loads of use out of.
I won't bore everyone with a list of what we each got, but we were very glad to be able to come out to Alabama and visit family and hang out for a while (even if it was only for a week for me, Erin got 2). I am much more relaxed and have some great opportunities that may open up for me in the near future (keep your fingers crossed).
Alright, time to go back to everyone and visit.

Traveling Again
Yesterday afternoon I began my journey back to Alabama. I left the house around 11am with the intent of getting my haircut before going to the airport; well that didn't happen, I had to be at the airport at 2 and by 1:15 it was obvious that they weren't even close to getting to me before I had to leave so I left and just went to the airport.
I got to Dallas/Fort Worth just fine, and then they changed the gate number so I had to move, and then the flight was delayed because the crew that was supposed to be on our plane was delayed coming from Columbus, OH because the flight into Columbus was late coming from Chicago, IL! We left an hour late and landed just before midnight. Needless to say it was a long day with many hours spent just sitting at DFW with not much to do.
Erin picked me up at the airport and we went back to her parents house where we fell asleep pretty quickly.
Tomorrow is Christmas and I'll post again after we open stuff and do all that.

Alabanana
Erin, Zack, and I made it safe and sound to Alabama. We were planning on leaving on Friday morning, but then changed the plan because some serious inclement weather headed the same direction we were going; we didn't want to risk the East Mountains of ABQ getting closed. We left Thursday at 4pm and made it to Ft. Smith around 5am CST!!! That's after spending the last 7 hours of the trip driving in really dense fog. We slept until 11am and then went to lunch and got back on the road for the rest of the trip around 1pm. We pulled into Erin's parents' just after 9:30pm.
Zack did really good, he spent most of the trip sleeping in the back seat. Needless to say we were tired and spent whatever time we could get sleeping. Today we went out for coffee and met Shannon and did some shopping. Thom flew in tonight and we sat around and talked for a while after he got in. My eyes won't stay open anymore so I'm heading to bed.
NIGHT!
