Finally! We’re both together in Virginia : )

The last week of school went pretty well. The kids were so cute in their Wizard of Oz dance! It feels good to know that I actually made it through the year, but I’m sure glad that it’s over!

The flight on Saturday was exciting—and longer than expected. A big thunderstorm rolled into DC and stopped all incoming planes. We circled over Kentucky for a while, then circled over West Virginia for a while. Then, at about the time we were supposed to be landing in DC, we ran low on fuel and landed in Cincinnati to fill back up.

Back on the ground, Nick was walking back from the library when he got hit by the rain storm. After getting home and changing into dry clothes, he headed to the metro station where he waited and waited and waited. As it happened, the metro was undergoing maintenance that weekend, so he ended up finding another bus that would take him closer. He figured he would be really late picking me up, but as it turns out, he had plenty of time!

Other than that exciting day, things have been going well. We went to choir practice after church on Sunday (which was fun) and I ran into a girl that I graduated from BYU with. The ward here is great. It isn’t always easy to get places without a car, but everyone has been great to give us rides whenever we’ve needed them.

After a long month apart, it’s sure good to be back together again!
