Decembrrrrr!

I can't believe it is almost Christmas! I knew this would all sneek up on me! Nettie came home on November 10th! Getting them back is definatly better than sending them off! We had a pretty good crew at the airport, luckily we made it on time! Her flight was supposed to land at 12:51 p.m.. I couldn't sleep as usuall and decided to get on the delta website. My dad had told me I could check on the flight status as soon as it left the ground. The first time I checked on it, it said it was boarding. The next time I checked it said the arrival time was 12:03! Almost an hour early! Reece wasn't even home yet and we had a 2 hour drive to get there! I called Reece and woke him up! He said it would take him 2 hours to get home! I was in a panic! I wanted to leave the house at 9:30 but he had told me we didn't need to leave till like 10:30 but we settled on 10 and now that was not going to work! I needed more time! Reece got home at 9:45 and showered quickly and we were out the door at 10! I was praying for a miracle! We had made it about half way when my fuel gage decided to inform me that we may not have enough gas to get to Salt Lake! I knew we didn't have time to stop! We pulled into airport parking at 12:05. I left everyone at the car and made a emergency pit stop and met everyone inside. Mom, Dad, Dad G, Sean, Tammy, Quinn, Alyse, Katie, Isaac, Mickaela, Ella and Bleu were there. Her plane was already on the ground but I guess they couldn't get the door open or something (jk!)! My prayers had been answered because we were there for about 10 or 15 min. before she came out! I will try to upload the video! we just ran at each other and yelled and cried! It was wonderfull! Only 14 more fast sundays and we will have Brad back too! I can't wait to have them all back under my wings again!
Have a blessed holiday! Nan

Fall

Well alot has been happening here! We finally finished the sprinkler system in the half circle of the truck driveway and put in grass. Now I need to cut it!. We swapped the hay for grass, moved pipe, bought a sicle (sp?) mower, cut and baled the field. Pounded posts and fenced the east and fron side except for right behind the house. Put on a deck. Started school and being a stay at home mom. Lost a motor in the truck. Got another calling: Stake youth trek transportation and equipment committee leaders. And I have started to get Lynette's room ready to receive her in 27 days! Justin birthday was yesterday and we are trying to get a trip to Lagoon and Frightmares in before the end of the season! Hope all is well with you! Love the phillips'

Summer Vacation

As some of you know we like to go watch a professional baseball game every now and again. This year we went to see the Oakland Athletics! The first game we had seats in row 32 on the visitors side. The next day we spent driving down RTE 1 on the coast and stopping at a few beaches. The next day we went to Fishermans Wharf and went to the night game and our seats were in row 5 just past the home dugout. The last game we had front row seats right over the home dugout! We had fun when we werent freezing!

November 10

that is the day Nettie will fly home! I will post the time when she gets her flight schedule. Anyone wanting to join us in SLC for the airport home coming would be great. That is what she wants. She didn't want us to come get her cause she wanted the whole airport experiance!

news

so much has been happening! After much contemplation i have decided to quit driving bus. It was very bitter-sweet. There was plenty of tears on the last day. I am going to be pursuing a new endever with drivers ed?! Kinda scary huh? The district decided to go to a 4 day week and that was a 20% pay cut right of the top. Soooo... school is now out and baseball is in full swing! Justing is the pitcher for his team and had 7 strikeouts in 3 innings! the other 2 outs were automatic outs, so more or less he was the only one on the team who made any outs. I don't have any open weekends in june! only a couple in july and then school starts in august! only 5 more fast sunday's and lynette will be home! We are busy and staying happy! Hope you are all well too! Love the phillips'
