The holiday came and went so quick. Max and I had so much fun with Justin, Mark all our cousins, uncles, aunts and grandparents! While they were here we went swimming twice at the indoor pool here in Santa Clara, Justin & Mark went shooting with James, David and Grandpa Bridges, we went hiking in Snow Canyon twice, we drove to Pipe Springs, AZ to see a historic landmark (in the snow), we had endless bowling tournaments on Unlces James Wii, watched a great fireworks show on New Years Eve, ate lots of great meals together, decorated endless cookies, watched lots of football all while we laughed and told stories together. But the holiday soon came to an end and we had to take Justin and Mark back to the airport to catch their redeye flight back to Virginia. Before we dropped them off at the airport, we took some time to drive down the Las Vegas strip where Justin especially enjoyed seeing all the hotels, water fountains, lions, crazy people and drivers! The Luxor hotel is Justins favorite he thought it was sooo cool how it was black with the laser lights and single spot light going up in the sky. Someday we'll have to get a room there for him to stay in. Justin would think he had died and gone to heaven!
Mark and I went out to dinner on New Years Eve to celebrate our 7th Anniversary before he left. It was said that we had to be apart on the 3rd but, we were grateful for the time we did have together that night. It was to think about all the things we have done over the past 7 years and where we'll be in the next 7 years.
I'm still waiting to hear from Mark from Afghanistan. I certainly hope and pray that he is safe and that his flights are going ok. I can't wait to talk to him again!
