If you've been following my blog you know that Mark was desperately trying to find a flight out of Oregon last night to make it home for Christmas. Well, after driving 480 miles and flying over 600 miles, he is safe at home now.
He drove all night last night to Sacramento California in white-knuckled conditions to make a 6 am flight. He even made it with time to spare before his flight. Even with 4 airports in Oregon, nothing was available until the day after Christmas and we see that flights are still not leaving there as of this morning. Even the highways heading East out of Oregon towards Utah were closed due to high amounts of snow.
Well, all is well now and we can go ahead with our Christmas plans. It is actually Christmas Eve today for our family. Santa Claus is coming a day early for us due to our "unique" family situation. So Mark really did make it home just in time.
We didn't send out Christmas cards this year, so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Thank you to all of you wonderful friends and family for your love and friendships. We love you all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm glad your crazy husband made it home last night. I woke up at 6:15 this morning and was wondering if he had made it in time. We're suppose to get some more snow tomorrow.
that's so good he'll be home for the holidays!! See you soon :)
I am glad he made it home. Mom said to tell him that he sure knows how to give a mother grey hair!!! Crazy boy driving all night over snow-packed mountains for 11 hours. Unfortunately, he has to go back to Portland the same way...sorry :(
That is some sweet love and dedication! I'm glad he made it home safely. We drove through the Gorge on the 26th and it was 100 times better than when Mark tried to go through and we were still white knuckled.
It's Christmas's like this that you'll always remember!
