I'm still getting organized from my recent Chicago trip, so I don't have photos quite ready to post. But I have something better for you...a surprise guest! I'll give you a hint - I'm married to him. Yes, that's right, Matt!!! He came home earlier than expected - Yippie!
Originally, he'd planned for his cross country trip to start on Sunday the 21st and we estimated that he'd be home by Wednesday. However, that all changed when CA brewed up a nasty looking storm that was headed for Matt's driving path. Knowing he had to deal with some pretty heavy mountainous driving, he changed plans and started his trip on Friday to stay ahead of the storm.
Things got even better because I got to see Matt on Saturday night! It all started when he and I realized that we were driving toward each other on Hwy 80. It was that evening that I pointed out that Matt had driven so long on Friday that if he did the same Saturday, he could spend his overnight with me at my cousins' place. Well, I guess I burned a fire under him because he got up early on Saturday morning and after a full day of driving, he made it not only for the overnight, but had time to spare for chatting and pizza! Matt's a machine when it comes to driving! When asked what's his secret he replied, "Energy drinks and beef jerky!" Gross!
Sunday was then an easy drive for him - only 5 hours! We caravaned home and Matt was enthusiastically greeted by the kitties. I then left him to fulfill a pre-arranged date to see Harry Potter with a couple of friends. He chose to stay back so he could unload the car and relax (but I think his real reason was to hang out with the "kids"). Matt is a happy camper to finally be home! :)
