So Mark and I finally rolled back into town tonight after being in Fargo for the last 4 days or so. We had a great time with my parents, and also got a chance to see Missy and DJ and play with their daughter, who just turned one a couple weeks ago. Highlights of the trip have to include the fatherly outing with my dad and Mark to go play Blackjack at the Expressway Inn (nothing but class....and I won 20 dollars), sleeping in, and eating awesome food. The days flew by. And, being as we were in the Big City (meaning, Fargo has a Best Buy) we bought a bunch of extra toys for the Xbox Scott and Lauren gave us for Xmas. Bring on the zombies!

All in all, had a great holiday season--Mark's family was here for almost a week, and we all had a great time, and celebrating New Year's with my family wrapped everything up perfectly. Unfortunately, when Mark and I got to the airport in Fargo this morning, around 6 am to catch our 7 am flight to Minneapolis, we found out that our flight had been delayed until 10:45. Not so good when there is only one flight per day from Minneapolis to Hayden. Good thing the computer had automatically rebooked us on the 8:15 flight, so we still made it back home close to expected. Fas was supposed to be flying in right after us, but he ended up being delayed for a few hours, so Mark and I went into Hayden to the HiWay Bar and Grill for some lunch and beers. Not a bad place, except for the fact that we ended up watching the Badgers win the Capital One Bowl. Boo.

Finally picked up Matt, and since then we've been sitting on our arses watching football and playing video games. I started falling asleep in front of the tv at 7:30 (Mark and I only got about 3-4 hours of sleep last night) so I've been trying to pick up the house some more. Since we only had about an 18 hour time span between when Mark's family left and then Mark and left for Fargo, we pretty much just had time to pay bills, wash dishes, take down the tree, and pack.

I think I'm rambling too much. Time for a nightcap and then bed. Happy New Year!
