Grammy and Papa are here...

My parents and Newly made it here from their long road trip across the country on Wednesday evening. They had spent the last two days at Jake an Brandi's in Beaumont but were still tired and ready to be done with driving for a while. The weather had been terrible most of their trip and was really bad the whole day here while Addie and I waited for them down at the beach house. (Wednesday morning we woke up at 5:45 in the morning to the base sirens going off. We were under a tornado warning and had another one that same morning at around 10. Scary!!!) They got to the beach house about 5:30 that evening where we had dinner waiting for them. We didn't stay long there because they were tired and Addie hadn't napped at all that day.

On Thursday we took them to run some errands to help get them set up in the beach house - groceries and such. Addie and I went home for nap time and than went back down to the beach to spend the night with them. After all, the Civil War was on...

Most of you probably watched the game - it was nationally televised on ESPN. It was a great game - typical Civil War - back and forth, back and forth. It was intense - more so than in years passed... the Rose Bowl was at stake for the winner. The Beavs lead most of the game, but did end up losing in the end. Needless to say, this was not the ending we had hoped for. We were all hoping for a trip to Southern California from Santa this year on New Year's Day. Now we are waiting to find out which Bowl Game we are going to. I am hoping it is a good one and maybe my parents can catch it on their way back to WA.
