Well Adam and I took off for the great USA to go home for Christmas on Dec 15th...we had two weeks and were going to make the most of it. By my comment making the most of it means I had an excel spreadsheet of our itinerary and we had something going on for every meal and coffee in between meals. I have never been so busy in my entire life for two weeks at a time. Also, a note for anyone we didn't get to see we sincerely apologize. If we could have we definitely wanted to see you. We miss EVERYONE from home!
After landing at 9:15pm on thursday night 4am our time we were pretty spent. Our parents picked us up at the airport and took us straight home to bed. The reason we came in so early was because Adam wanted to go to meetings at his KPMG St. Louis office on friday morning. So yeah he got up and left the house by 7:30am the next day. Can we say crazy!! We eventually got to sleep more through out our trip home but that first weekend we were messed up!! Friday was shopping and quality with my Momma. We have a tradition of going shoe shopping for my birthday so we did a belated shopping trip for that. Plus christmas shopping as well. Surprisingly we had almost all our shopping done in the form of 50% of our luggage being chocolate =)
Saturday through Tuesday was a whirl wind of friends and food. Starting off with Andy and Katie and ROMA's. We introduced our friends to Roma's pizza. I'm kind of pleased with being able to get there so quickly in our trip. Had we come in around 5 or 6pm from Zurich we would have stopped there on the way home from the airport hahaha! We also were able to attend our Church, Metro, Sunday morning. It was so awesome to see everyone there. Before getting in the door to church we were greeted and hugged by friends. Of course, there is always a little sadness in every story. Adam and I both always love the music...but it makes Adam sad to not be up there playing the drums. It's a love of his to make music with one of the greatest groups he's ever played with. I just kept telling him only a year and a half and you'll be back in rotation. Sounds long but it'll fly by. Dinner that night with the Johnson's and some amazing chinese food!!
On Monday we had the joy of having a huge party with our small group and everyone was able to make it. It was amazing to see everyone! So many things had changed including new pregnancy's, engagements, and all the kids getting so much bigger. Also, a great group of people we miss and love so much! We will be so happy when they become our weekly routine again.
Tuesday was a freshen up day. Starting off with my dentist appointment and then haircuts for both Adam and I. I hadn't had one since before we left for Zurich! I also had the pleasure of visiting my office and co-workers. Finally to conclude the day dinner with some of our favorite friends, the Sonderegger's and mexican food!! We never get mexican over here. There is one restaurant here and it's not that good.
So far our trip home has been awesome....but it's about to get even better for me starting on Wednesday...
