Nahhhhhhhhhh. There's a real story, and it's lovely. We spent Thanksgiving in New Market, Alabama with some of Ian's family. His sister, Hannah, and her husband, Ramon, were staying there as well. Their baby girl is due January 5th... VERY exciting!!! Thanksgiving was also a family baby shower for them. I'm very very glad we were able to be there with them. They received LOTS of amazing gifts. They will be excellent, loving parents.
Our drive down was a bit horrid. Better than most road trips with small child, though. We got caught in major traffic and sat nearly still in traffic for 2 hours. I think we moved like 3 miles in an hour. It was soooo bad. In fact, we chatted it up with some fellow stuck drivers at the first 'non-crowded' gas station following the traffic jam. It was like we all became friends since we were all stuck staring at each other for 2 hours. Normally it takes us 2 hours to get to the bottom of Kentucky (Bowling Green) But, we didn't get there until the 3 hour mark. That left 4 hours of driving to get to the house. Exquisite. London slept the first hour of traffic, but after that it was chaos!!!!!!
We made it, though. And, got to stay in the strawbale house! You can see a slideshow HERE. It's a very long slideshow, I suggest you click through until you get further to see the house as it is. MUCH has gone into the building of this house. It's amazing!
More holiday travel details to follow! On to some quiet time with Ian. We put up the Christmas tree today!!!!!!! I cleaned like a crazyperson, banished some excess toys, and baked banana bread. WHOO HOO
