Safely at the Herway Hilton

I arrived safely...and it's now 4:15 am and I just can't force myself to go back to sleep. Jetlag is such a funny thing. I was pooped when I went to bed at 11:30, and now I'm wide awake. Of course I think it's 12:30pm and time for lunch!
My flight was lovely and uneventful. Everything went like clockwork. (No weird seatmates, etc) When I was in Houston though I thought about how close I was to Austin....all in good time!
So it has been a year since I've been here. Lots of changes. Lara and Dan look the same, but their kids have CHANGED!!! We snuck into the bedrooms. Scarlet didn't wake, just rolled over with a smile on her face as her daddy put her covers over her. But Zane and Daphne weren't quite zonked and as I stood over them they came to realize it was me, and I got the best hugs of my life. Zane popped on the lights and off we go...chatting and playing and laughing. They are amazingly accepting of someone they haven't seen in a year! Yep, it was 10:00pm. It was nothing short of pure heaven. And I owe it all to TOM! Thanks Tom for such a great birthday present. And this is only the beginning!
I also think they have done a smashing job on all their remodeling and upgrades. My own bedroom and bathroom. Wow! It does have the Hilton feel! I can't even offer that to my houseguests....
I'm popping in on Colie this morning to see her apartment and meet her roommates. Then this afternoon we all get together for dinner at Dan/Lara's...Seth and Heidi come over, and Colie and Grant are driving up. My Mom should have arrived at Suzanne's as well so I'll call them tomorrow and we will get together on Monday. Tom, you may be right, Utah will always have the most family members living here. It sure seems that way for now!
Well it's 4:50am. I'm sure if I read my scrips I'll konk out! (Oh, and it's great to have my own laptop! Or is it Tom's laptop? I have forgotten! I sure married the right guy!)
