So, Robert and I were planning on going my family's house is Libby, MT for Christmas. On Sunday we were headed to Idaho Falls to pick up some friends from the airport and a wrench light showed up on our dashboard while driving. The car began to loose power and chug. Our friends flight was delayed because of the snow, so we turned around and didn't drive our Fusion. Needless to say that was an adventure trying to pick up our friends from the airport.
Here is that side story.... Meg and Brandon Hebdon were suppose to fly in Sunday at 10pm into the Idaho Falls airport and had asked us to pick them up. They called because their flight was delayed at about 8:30pm. No problem, we were just going to pick them up at 10:30pm instead. So, we left and that is when the car dash light turned on. Well, Meg text me and said that their plane should land in IF at about 12am. Okay, Robert and I left again, this time in our metro to pick them up. Well, we get almost to Rigby and Meg text again saying that they plane could not land, and they turned around and flew all the way back to SLC. Finally, I picked them up the next day at about noon. Those poor guys, they have one of those nightmare holiday travel stories to tell.
Anyway, back to out Christmas plan store.... So, we called Monday morning to get the car in the to dealership because it is under warranty and of coarse they could not get us in until Tuesday at 1:30. We were wanting to take off Wednesday, Christmas Eve after Robert got off work in the morning. The weather was not looking good because we had had snow storms all weekend and they were suppose to continue through Christmas. It was looking very unlikely that we would get out of Rexburg fro Christmas. We were sad! But, the car turns out that nothing huge needed to be fixed and all turned out well. Robert and I decided to go ahead and go to Libby when he got home from work on Christmas Eve. The drive was not bad and we made it here in under 9 hours. (Usually in the summer it take about 7 and 1/2 to 8hours.)
We had a great Christmas with family. Kira flew home from CT, and Josh and Shannon and his two girls came over from Kalispell. Christine, my sister in-law was here too. It was fun! We relaxed, ate, played games, and enjoyed family time just as Christmas should be. It snowed in the evening on Christmas Eve and all morning on Christmas. It was wonderful. We will be headed back to Rexburg Saturday or Sunday. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well.
