Home for the Holidays

It is official. I will be home for Christmas. I am so excited about it. This will be the first Christmas Brett and I are actually together and we will get to spend it with our families. I might actually start to like the holidays.

And the whole reason we are actually going home - Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers. I managed to get us tickets for the game. We won't actually be sitting together but we will be close. Brett will be sitting with my brothers and I will be the next section over with some of my parents' friends who have season tickets. But at least I got tickets.

Now everyone is probably saying we are crazy that this is the only reason we are going home. Normally I would agree but since the drive is killing his mental state I was okay with staying in Virginia and spending Christmas here. Now we have to figure out our travel arrangements. I am flying home on Tuesday for work and am supposed to come back on Friday. I was going to stay there if we decided to spend Christmas in Cleveland and he would drive up on Friday. We would drive back together on Monday.

However, Brett has done something to his back. It is very bad at the moment and has been like this for almost 2 weeks. (He looks like a little old man all hunched over.) So now I have to figure out if I can fly back earlier on Friday and then drive the truck home since we have to bring the dog with us. I am going to call the airline and see about flying back standby instead of changing my ticket.

Sounds like a bunch of work but it will all be worth it.
