Wow, home.

I was away for 16 months. I came home to a terrible snow storm, and it is only by a miracle that I cannot explain that I landed on time in Vancouver. Denise was not so lucky. She got stuck in Chicago, and then in Toronto for 4 days. She finally got a flight to Fredericton, and her mom had to drive from Halifax to get her, just in time for Christmas Eve. Poor Denise. I can't imagine.

The snow here is ridiculous. I have had a wonderful Christmas with my family. I sit here typing and there are eagles flying above the trees out of my window. Its weird to see TV and commercials again. Its nice to cook and eat familiar food. Driving around the city, there are so many things that have changed. New buildings. Old ones gone. Driving is very strange again. Especially since its only a truck that can be driven out of my parents cars because of all the snow. That truck is HUGE!
