It's raining...again...or still...ugh. I don't mean ugh like I hate the rain, I just hate going out in it instead of sitting at home with cocoa watching it happen outside!
December was a fun month for us. Keith did a jump early in the month and it was awesome. He did a tailgate jump from a Chinook helicopter. The weather was horrible but it cleared up at the last minute and he got to jump after all.
A friend of ours was turning 21 while we were all going to be gone for Christmas leave so we had a suprise party for her before we all left. We used it as a Christmas gift exchange and had a banner up and had another friend do a cake for her. She was really surprised and loved it!
We went home to Elko for Christmas and my birthday and had a blast. We hung out with a ton of family, did a birthday party for me (hosted by my amazing mother!!), Christmas Eve with my parents and mom's side of the family and then Christmas with Keith's family. We did a sledding day with my kick-ass cousins and spent lots of "play time" with our niece & nephew. All in all it was awesome!
We drove down to Elko from Yelm and what an experience. Dunno if you've noticed by the northwest got its butt kicked by Mother Nature the entire 2nd half of December. Oregon was terrible to drive through and we were headed off the road more than we were on it. It was terrifying and I hated it! The first day of travel we ended up stopped in Baker City Oregon for the night because they were closing the highway. We were exhausted so it wasn't a bad thing. We got to Elko in good time the next day so it all ended well!
The trip home went a lot smoother. We headed home on New Years Eve and stopped in Boise to have lunch and exchange gifts with Keith's sister Jennifer. We headed on and after the weather turned against us we stopped for the night in adorable Pendleton Oregon. Its a great little town that was an Oregon Trail stop. We got a room at a Rustic Motel that called itself a Lodge...lavender sprigs on the bed and all. We went to a local bar called Crabbys for dinner and a couple games of pool and called it an early night.
Katie & Adam got all moved in up here and are having fun settling in and exploring. Keith and I are LOVING it!! Its so cool to have them close.
I'm off to clean the house and do wifey stuff. :) Happy New Year!
I'll post the link to December's pictures when I get them all done & uploaded.
