wil and kris (and gracie and ava)

home safe.

attempted to come home monday night…but as the the engine and wing on the left outside our window was smoking, with nuclear firefighters walking around checking it out, they decided it was better to cancel our flight and put us out the next day. although it caused me and cassie to miss an additional day of work, and leave carolyn stranded, we weren’t too sad about swapping a red puffy eye flight for a night in a real bed.

so, although 8 hours late, we landed in nashville…exhausted but happy to be home.

the rest of the trip after my previous post was no let down. sunday morning we had a nice breakfast out, and then made our way to irvine to continue the graduation events. a very busy and full party for brett consumed the afternoon, and at 6:30 we said goodbye to mom and dad (as they left for scotland and ireland!), and visited rock harbor. a very cool church indeed…flooded with people our age, passionate worship and an honest message.

everything seemed to settle down after church; the house had emptied, and cassie and i found ourselves just hanging out at sherry and mark’s for the evening. but we had a big day ahead, so we rolled off to bed fairly early.

since brett had graduated, and his job doesn’t start for a few weeks, he found himself doing nothing on monday, so he tagged along to disneyland with us! we had a fabulous time hanging out with michael (and a little bit with claire) all day and really getting the royal treatment…michael had all these fancy little slips of paper that took us to the front of the line of pretty much any ride. i don’t think i can ever go back to disneyland without him! it was fun to go on all the old favorites, and discover new little things they’ve changed here and there to keep it fresh. it was also fun showing cassie everything, as this was her first time. we were dead tired by 5 (i honestly have no idea how these people can push a stroller around all the way till 10 or 11 at night!), and almost lost our car in the massive parking structure after saying bye to michael.

but we made it back to the house, grabbed a bite to eat, and headed to the airport…which you already know was a waste of a trip.

i am happy to be home…work welcomed me with a HUGE pile of stuff to do from just three days of absence, so I’ve been kept busy keeping on top of things. it was good to be with wil again, and the dogs seemed pretty excited too. it’s taking me a while to get back into the routine…we’ll see how long my bag sits packed on the floor before i open it and do laundry.

i haven’t had a chance to upload any pictures yet…the last two evenings i’ve knocked out on the couch (how is that different from any other night?), so maybe tonight. we’ll see…
