Back in the U S S A!

I am BACK IN THE STATES! Despite the pilot choosing to circle Chicago about 24 times-- he did eventually land the plane.

It is four kinds of awesome to back. We were greeted at the gate by Mandy's parents (who are amazing) and then gorged on pizza.

Its so good to be home :)

Also-- its Christmas EVERYWHERE here. In Europe we went to about a thousand Christmas markets (rough estimate) but it wasn't really like Christmas in the States. Mandy's house is exploding with Christmas cheer, though--so its okay.


(sounds a bit ironic--but watch with the sound on)
