Daniel is home!

Daniel has been home from China and life seems to be back to some sort of normal for us. He has been home for almost 2 weeks now but we have been so busy "soaking up" the time we missed, I haven't had a chance to write. He has many great stories and certainly will remember this trip forever. We are both are so glad he was blessed with such an incredible opportunity. And, I am so thankful he is back and safe. I think all my familly would agree with this: I am not the same without Daniel around. I am ecstatic to have him back home!!

52 hours later....Daniel is in China!

Daniel left at 5:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and finally made it to China at 9:00 a.m. this morning. He had a flight cancelled, several delays and many hours of layover. The picture above is in front of a temple in Taipei, Taiwan. Daniel had an 11 hour layover there so he got to take a tour of the city. He is doing great and should be rested and ready for work in the next few hours!

A Christmas to Remember.....

Well, Daniel and I almost spent our first Christmas away from each other (unintentionally). I left to go to my parent's house in Bowie the day before Christmas Eve and the plan was for Daniel to fly in to Dallas on Christmas Eve since he had to work. A blizzard, cancelled flight and 12 hours of Daniel driving 10 miles an hour all the way to Bowie; Daniel arrived in Bowie at 5:00 a.m. on Christmas morning! According to Daniel, "love will make you do crazy things." It was quite romantic but it is safe to say, we will never travel seperate at the holidays again.

Once all the chaos settled we had a wonderful time! We got to spend time with my mom's and dad's extended family, it was so much fun. (I will post pictures as soon as I can bum some off of family members. It seems I have lost my digital camera.)
