Seatac

December is in full swing here in Utah.  Temperatures are dipping below freezing, the mountains are covered in snow, and I have been skiing exactly zero times.  I hope that changes in the next month or so. 

Amy is substitute teaching and has been able to be selective on jobs and still manages to work every day.  It has really been a nice job for her; she really enjoys the flexibility.  The schools down here are pretty great with a lot of technology in the classroom.  The kids have been pretty darn good as well.  Best part of subbing in my opinion: not dealing with parents! 

I am sitting in the Delta Lounge at Seattle-Tacoma Airport. Note that I am not actually allowed in here on my own as I do not have enough miles yet; I am with a co-worker who gets referred to as "Mr. ____" by Delta staff and could actually probably redeem his miles and buy a mega-yacht or an iPad (yes, that is an Apple price joke from an avid Apple user).  I seriously think he is like a Diamond member or something.  I just got upgraded from lava-rock status.

We are headed home in December for Christmas with the family in Oregon.  We are very excited to meet our niece and see our growing nephew!  It will be really good to catch up with family and friends as well.  So if you are going to be in Southern Oregon at the end of December, let us know!

I just found out that I passed my PE exam!  I am stoked, this is very exciting so if you count yourself as a friend of mine, tip back a beer and celebrate with me long-distance!

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
