Up in Michigan then home!!

Ella & I had a safe trip up to Michigan. We arrived here the day after Christmas. We'll be here for about 2 1/2 more weeks & then we're finally going home!! Once there, we'll only have to wait about 2 months until Jonah will finally be home!! We're so excited!!

The trip up here went surprising well. We actually ended up not even stopping in Detroit & got lucky by ending up a one way trip to Grand Rapids. It was great especially since it was just Ella & I which is quite difficult traveling with a baby alone. We've a long trip ahead of us out to So Cal coming up soon. It'll be at least an 8 hour plane trip then an hour drive home with a rental car. We can handle it though & it's exciting b/c we'll be headed home!! During the 2 months of wait time we will have some family coming out for visits, so it'll help with the time.

Saturday was my first time taking a spinning class. It's an extreme bike workout. My butt was sore all day yesterday. Ha! Although, it was great exercise & I plan on going at least 4 more times before we leave.

Jonah is back from his op. He said it was really slow & he's glad to be back to his station. We're already starting to plan things that we want to do when he gets home. In April we'll be flying back up to MI to visit with family. We hope to take a couple nights to ourselves too while we're here hopefully at a local resort in TC while the Grandparents watch our little girl. :O) Thanks guys! Mostly, we're just looking forward to finally being together & spending time as a family.

As always, please continue to keep Jonah, Ella, & I in your prayers. Thank you for all your support. Lots of love, Elizabeth
