We’re Home!!

Well….we made it home! Hellloooooooo Kent!

We left Nome around 9:30pm wednesday night, flew to anchorage and then caught a 12:30am flight to Seattle. We got in at 5:00am Thursday morning! We had standby tickets the whole way home so it came down to the wire on wether or not we would make it on our desired flights, but everything worked out!

So, heres the interesting news:

Tuesday morning, Lydia got a call from her Supervisor at work asked that she consider coming back to work for another month. Apparently after Lydia’s last day on Friday, Monday morning another co-worker came in and gave 5 days notice. They started to do the math, and with one employee taking September off for his wedding, and two other working at training…that left just one person in the office….and the Manager was going to be gone for a week! Lydia said she would think about it, but didn’t really think it was going to happen…we were headed back home!

However, The more we thought about it though, the more it didn’t look that bad. If Lydia could go home for a week, and then be flown back up to Nome (by work), we could deal with three weeks apart (and Lydia could deal with three more weeks back in Nome). It would help our finances & job change transition, and it would also help keep things flowing smoothly at Lydia’s office. So, we’re doing it. Lydia has been given an apartment for the month and will fly back to Nome on Sept 7th, returning home (for good) on Oct. 1st.

Its going to be a busy week while Lydia is here…..but should be fun to be back!
