Our luck has run out. At least in terms of one of us traveling for work. We found out on Wednesday that Kevin is headed down to Virginia early tomorrow morning and will be home late Wednesday night. Thankfully, he's able to be home for the holiday weekend. He will likely be going back to Virginia a week from today and will possibly not be home again until Christmas. We're hoping he's able to come home at least a couple of weekends. But we shall see.
In other traveling (good) news, though... we booked a trip to Arizona to go visit my BFF Jaime! We'll go at the end of January and I can not wait! We were hoping to go in the spring, but a flight deal came up that was seriously too good to pass up. I've been watching ticket prices for a while now and they're usually around $300+/person. We got tickets for $147/person, including all the taxes and fees!! Unbelievable!! Now we get to start planning our trip!
So, today we're headed to church, then we'll be tackling some projects around the house - changing some burnt out lightbulbs, putting up a new outdoor light in the back, paint shopping, priming some shelves, cleaning and rearranging in the garage, and Kevin will be packing. He's headed out on a 6am flight tomorrow morning and he'll be flying in around 11:30pm on Wednesday night. Tuesday I'm headed to Sarnia for a meeting all day. Thursday we're headed to my aunt's house for Thanksgiving. Friday I'll be headed out early for Black Friday shopping and will be picking up our milk. Then we'll be following our tradition and putting up our Christmas tree and decorations. We'll also be going to Christmas at Crossroads either on Friday or Saturday night with some of our family. We also may go down to hang out with our friends Ben and Kati on Saturday so that Kati and I can do some sewing and she can teach me to crochet.

That stinks that Kevin has to travel and be gone so long! Hopefully he can come home a few times. And hopefully you and Carson do ok on your own.
Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and shopping on Friday. We'll be driving home while all the crazy shopping is going on :P
I really hope Kevin can come home at least once during December. We have a lot of things happening on the weekends, so I hope he doesn't have to miss too much.
I'll probably just go to one or two stores on Friday. I'm usually home by 7/7:30 am b/c I go out early. I don't have that much more to buy, really. Just a few things that i've been waiting on for the Friday sales. I need to figure out what to get your parents still, too.
Thanks for sharing this
