Holiday Travels
This is the first year in 7 years that I have not been scheduled to work on Christmas, or Christmas Eve.
Last year I had the last half of December off (it’s a long story I’ll tell later) and got to go home for Christmas, which was nice. I even got to surprise my family. I told them that I had been assigned a trip to Tokyo and I wouldn’t be home until after the new year, as I was talking to my dad I walked into the house. It was pretty cool. He had no idea what was going on. I didn’t get to spend Christmas with Matt though, which was ok at the time because we had only been dating for a couple months.
This year is different. I have a different job. I live with Matt and this year we’re driving to Muskegon. We spent Thanksgiving with Matt’s family in Toledo, so this is kind of my Christmas present too. It’s a three-ish hour drive on a bright sunny day from Ann Arbor to Muskegon. Tomorrow doesn’t really look like it’s going to be bright and sunny.
We’re driving from the x on the right to the x on the left. Muskegon currently has quite a bit of snow. They get the lake effect and stuff Lake Michigan. It happens. We have about, um, 1 inch. There’s a winter storm watch starting tomorrow. We’ve got to get in before it starts. Yay. I can’t wait.
So, Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukah! Good Festivus! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy Winter Solstice! and happy any others that I missed!
