Inside Out Living

Thanks to the worst snowstorm to hit the Pacific Northwest in 40 years we have decided not to travel to see family at Christmas this year. We will see some of them when we move at the end of the month. Hopefully this storm will clear up before then and the roads will be a little more drivable. Even if we made it to our destination from all reports it is taking roughly twice as long to drive the highways that we would need to take which would mean about 10 hours of driving with three little kids.

The bummer part of the whole thing is that we took most of the Christmas gifts, including ours for our own kids, to Kristi's parents at Thanksgiving. So our kids won't get to open all of their gifts until January. I guess it will make for some nice surprises once we get moved into our new house.

This lovely little storm has also delayed the closing of our house here in Burns. The buyers loan approval is being held up because no one can get to the US Bank loan offices to get any work done. It will still close, just not as soon as we had hoped.

Kristi and I enjoyed a nice evening of dinner at the Outpost at Big Bear and shopping at Kings Discount (Burns version of a shopping mall we have been told). Thanks Diana for watching our kids one last time. I don't care what they say I think you are their favorite babysitter.
