Finally, some time to breath. Let’s recap; it started back near the end of October with a trip to Phoenix to visit some of my family. November rolled in with a trip to the east side to visit some friends and Mom and Dad, then out to San Diego for Thanksgiving, and that was just the beginning.
December felt like quite the whirlwind. We found ourselves on the east side once again for my company’s annual holiday party, the following weekend included a hockey game in GR courtesy of Abbey’s holiday party promptly followed by a late night drive to Wabash for the weekend.
Fachew, let the holidays begin. The following weekend we were back in Wabash for four or five Christmases, I lost count. After those festivities we jumped back into the car and drove up to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with my parents and sister. Once we were Christmas’ed out we headed back to Grand Rapids for a couple days of work before our long haul trip.
New Years brought a trip up to Marquette. We picked up Jake on our way and headed up north for Kevin and Marie’s wedding extravaganza. I don’t remember most of the drive up due to the mixture of a nasty cold and small dosage of Nyquil, but Abbey and Jake both ensure me it was a long and snowy one. The wedding itself was quite an event and I’d have to say, as weird as it sounds, but New Years Eve in Marquette is one not to be missed.
Imagine 2000+ people out in single digit temperatures in a small intersection to watch a ball made of chicken wire, tinfoil and xmas lights drop from a piece of wire.
All in all it’s been a busy couple of months. I did some of the math, in the last two months of the year I did over 30% of my total miles for 2007. Crazy.
