In a last minute turn of events, Kyle and I found out on Friday that we would be flying to New York on Saturday to finish up some visa issues. I feel lucky that we can be flexible enough to pack a bag at the last minute and in less than 12 hours be ready for a transcontinental flight. On Friday evening we had a lovely Christmas dinner with Kyle's co-workers. After including dates and spouses, we had people from Belgium, Mexico, Turkey, and Russia at our table. In true European fashion, we had a huge chunk of meat, a great sauce, and french fries for our meal...not a vegetable in sight! Dinner took a leisurly four hours and it was great to get to catch up with everyone.
Saturday was spent flying to the States. We challenged ourselves to not give in to jetlag, and were able to stay up late enough to enjoy a nice dinner with our UGA friends Kary and Katie Nordholz. Since 'last minuteness' seems to run in our blood, Sarah Kathryn was able to get a flight up on Sunday to come and visit while we are on this side of the ocean. (We will be here from Saturday to Thursday.) I am so excited to be able to see her and spend some sister time together.
We woke up to snow flurries and freezing cold on Monday. Since Kyle is still having to work while he is here, Sarah Kathryn and I decided to battle the cold for some last minute shopping. We made it to Rich's and a few other stores to look for a good winter coat and some other Christmas gifts. Kyle had a bit of sore throat so we took it easy last night and were just able to enjoy each others company.
The cold just looks too daunting for us today, so Sarah Kathryn and I are planning on staying in for awhile and getting some work done ie: last minute Christmas cards!
I hope each of you is able to stay warm!!!
