We are home. For the first time this year. It was kind of cool as we were flying into San Jose to think about how we haven't been in California yet this year. It gave the arrival a much more weighted feel, set it apart from the eight hundred other trips we took this year, and brought forth some much needed, albeit cheesey, introspection.
We returned to what is being referenced as "the worst storm since 1982" in our area. A little bit bah and a big bit exciting. As we listened to voicemails post-debarkation and waded through parking lot rivers to get to our car, we were encouraged to hear friends letting us know we had no power but that many beds were available to us. Far too tired to be sociable, we decided to head home with the help of our Christmas Garmin, and pray that all the roads would be open, which they were. We ended up having a lovely, quietly adventurous evening of candle-hunting, jet-boiled ramen, and Indiana Jones in front of the fire. How I love laptops and Christmas chocolate.
p.s. I'm having picture-uploading issues right now, so there'll be more later.
Hope to you all!

yeah, I'm finally getting the hang of it. it's easier for me to just upload to flickr and then adjust in html. that's as advanced with technology that i get.
