Home for Christmas
We arrived to find snow in the foothills around Boise.


We spent a few days before Christmas with Candi's family and had Christmas there on Christmas Eve. It was a very enjoyable time with them, but even better since I got presents.


After all the gettin' of presents (the whole reason for Christmas!?) Candi and I both went to our respective workplaces, but she actually worked. I met a lot of people from my squadron and tried to get on a few flights. They were even going to let me fly a bit, but I was a bad luck charm. All three flights were cancelled due to the weather and maintenance. I got on the plane (below), but we never got off the ground. I am hoping to get on one last flight before I leave on the 2nd of January.

When I am not causing flights to be cancelled, I have been taking advantage of things that Arkansas cannot provide. I went snowboarding with my cousin at Bogus Basin Ski Resort (a ski hill just outside of Boise) and the conditions were pretty good for December.



Well, that is about all the time I want to spend on this blog since I am seeing most of you while here in Idaho, but I didn't want to get too far behind since there is a lot going on these days. Candi and I are having a great time being home and we can't wait to get back...however, we have to go back to hillbilly land before that can happen.
