Flying High

Well first of all, a Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Could we have asked for a more perfect day? Clear and cool with a slight wind, it was perfect. I spent the morning out in my backyard enjoying a nice fire and the woods that border my backyard. It sure was nice to have some time for myself. I hope you all had an equally enjoyable day.

As for the trip we had a great advance in our airfare situation today. My dad finally got my grandpa's AA rewards card from my grandma. Good news, my grandfather left us over 100,000 miles. However, most of them expire in April '09. Worse case scenario we have to split the price of one ticket three ways, I know its awful isn't it. Best case scenario is that we pay absolutely nothing for our airfare. Thanks Poppa.

I have to say that things couldn't be going any better than they are right now but as Snyder's law states, whenever you find yourself on the way up prepare yourself for the way down. I've spent alot of time hiking and I can tell you that most of the time this is the case. Eventually you always have to go back down. I hoping that we can ride this ridge for as long as possible. I thank God for OUR great fortune. We have nothing more to ask for besides our good health and saftey.

It's funny because it was just a few weeks ago I posted my "tired..." entry. I guess its a perfect example of the crazy lives that we all live. The valleys always feel so low and the mountains always feel so high, if I could just stay at the treeline I would be happy forever.

Well that's all for tonight, Catch ya on the flip side.
