We're back in the states

Well it has been a while since I have been on here to tell you all what has been going on but after you read this you'll understand what has been going on and how busy we have been.

Since the last post till now allot has been going on and it has been very stressful for us. From the 24 till the day before we left Jesse and I had trouble trying to find some one to buy our cars in Okinawa. Luckily we found some one to buy the surf around January 31 but we did not find some one till a few days before February 4 for the van, however they could not do the paper work for it till the 4. I was stressed wondering if Jesse would be coming home with Tav and me or not. Luckily every thing worked out and on February 5 we left Okinawa for the states.

On February 5 we landed in Seattle, Washington and visited with some friends. As well as stayed the night. Then on February 6 we left Seattle, Washington and heading for Flagstaff, Arizona. That was the worst flight Jesse and I have ever taken. We made our flight in Seattle, Washington but due to weather the plan sat on the run way because of that we were late landing in Phoenix, Arizona. We along with every one on the flight was told that our connecting flights knew of the delay and not to worry. So when we landed Jesse, Tav and I rushed to our gate only to be told that we could not get on the flight. US AIRWAYS had closed the door just as we got to the gate.

Which made Jesse and I a little upset. I was more upset then Jesse only because I had Tav in the baby carrier and ran with him from one gate to the next. Jesse went to the customer service desk and asked about the next flight that was departing at 9 pm. They told Jesse that it was booked and the next one was not till February 7 at 6 am. He then asked about our bags because we were not going to wait till the next day when we were only a few hours from Flagstaff. They told us that our bags had made it on the flight. Jesse was like ok well we will get them from the air port up there and we went to the rental car place.

We rented a car and drove up to Flagstaff. Jesse's mom and Tom meet us at the air port. Once we got there we went in to the air port for our bags but no one was there and when they did get there our bags were not on the flight we missed. Jesse then took all of us to his mom's house and dropped us off. He then went back by himself and waited for the last flight to come in to see if our bags had got on that flight. Luckily they did. We only stayed till February 9 but from the 6 to the 9 we visited with as many people as we could fit in. When we left on the 9 it was snowing and not pretty at all.

Jesse drove and took his time. We were not in the snow for very long only about an hour after we left his mom's house as we drove to see his dad in New Mexico. During the drive Tav was very good. We did not hear a peep out of the little guy. Once we got to Jesse's dad's house we visited with him till February 12. It was a nice few days. Jesse's dad loved having us around. Before we left we got Jesse's dad a Wii. Which they looked like little kids playing.

Any way when we left February 12 we stopped in Kansas City to visit with Jacob's family. Jacob was gone but we enjoyed our time with his wife Gina and little girl Brookie. We stayed there till February 13 which helped Tav with the long road trip we had to make from AZ to NC. After we left Kansas City we drove to Cincinnati, Ohio to visit with my parents and sister.

It was a nice visit but poor Tav got the 24 hour bug the day we were going to leave. So we ended up staying longer then planed. Once Tav was over that bug we left and spent a week and half with my brother in North Carolina. Which I do have to say that I got sick while staying with them and a few days after Jesse got sick. Luckly it was only a 24 hour bug for both of us. Which we think we got from Tav. Durning the week Jesse and I got sick we looked at houses. We did not find one until March 7.

We put in an offer and the seller took it. So now we are staying in a hotel since March 12 waiting to find out something about the house. We are hoping to close on it April 8. Other then that nothing new to tell you about.
