home... not quite yet!

After stepping out into the 20 degree Boise weather for just 10 short hours we were thrown back into a bus and on our way to Salt Lake City....

We stepped off the plan to our mothers, sister and niece's sweetest warmest welcoming faces. It felt SO good to be back in America, to be home. To be welcomed home so sweetly. Big warm hugs. We were ready to get back into our reality... not knowing what was in store for us. We stayed up late into the night talking with our families about the amazing 4 weeks we had just experienced. Complaining about the abrupt change 90* weather to this blizzard snow storm just short of 20*. We were excited to start settling down and getting ready for the holidays... Finally crawled into bed at 2 am... only to wake at 6 am to a phone call. "Kodiak, we need you for an oil spill!!"

Kar " What??? NO WAY, NOT GOING!!"

Aust "Awesome when do we leave?"

after a few minutes of contemplation, thought and arguing.. we were BOTH headed to salt lake city (thanks to my sweet mother for waking so early to drive us to the company car!)

after 10 long, FREEZING days, 130 hours of work later, I finally convinved austin to head back to boise with me, to celebrate the holidays right!! Replacements were sent to fill our spots on the spill, and we are finally home at last!
