BEEN SO LONG

Truly too much to update!
We had a crazy time getting back here to the States, darn typhoons in Tokyo delayed us 2 days in Singapore. Oh well. We eventually found our way to Woodstock (through Boston via a rental car and a 2+hr trip through the NE....not our original plan, but oh well.....ended up with 2 free round trip tickets).
Bryan & Hallie's wedding was beautiful. I have attached links to a few of my favorite pictures. And have tons on my camera to post....when I get around to it.
Matt & I both LOVED Vermont. It was very picturesque and beautiful. Easy to see why it was the chosen destination.

Back in Tulsa, we have spent quite a bit of our time working on our house...ie: curtains, a dining room table, trimming tons of bushes, a few meetings for Matt, etc. It has been tons of fun, but still keeping us super busy. We were finally able to have a little fiesta with some close friends & close family last Saturday. Our first to throw EVER. And it was great. We had perfect weather & it was a perfect day! And Matt is loving his new grill!

Now to this week, planning/getting ready for a baby shower for Melissa this Sunday. Should be fun & I know she is going to have a great time & get tons of cute, girlie things.
Matt also found out that our trip here will be extended another week. So exciting! At least we found out sooner this time. Last time our bags were about 95% packed. So getting notice is definitely a bonus.
September has definitely been busy but fabulous. Made some new friends, I think we have a new Aunt Shelley (Hallie's Aunt who is a hoot & delight), have been loving seeing family & friends, and love our life in Tulsa.
We are 2 lucky people!

TRAVEL TALES

So much for leaving Singapore August 31st and coming home on time. Thanks to typhoons & tropical storms in Tokyo our stay was extended 2 whole days. Because United only has 1 flight out every day, and ours was completely cancelled, the next available flight for us was Sept 2nd. UHMMMM what happened to Sept 1st? Totally sold out. Nice. So here we are, hours before our 2nd scheduled departure & we are praying everything goes smooth this time.
10 hours at home in Tulsa then turn around (back through Chicago) and head to Vt for Bryan & Hallie's wedding weekend. I'm sure we'll be completely exhausted, jet-lagged & half drunk at appearances, but oh well. 'Tis what happens when you live in/on the "little red dot"....typhoons will do it every time!
Pray for smooth, safe flights for us. We are anxious to get home & excited to see everyone.
Cheers!
