God is Great!
As you know I was moving. But now I'm not!!!!!!!
Its a really long story and I'm not going to go into all the details of it.
But the basics are that God did a miracle and now I don't have to move from my very much loved home.
I just have to unpack.

The snow is gone now but I have heard a rumor that its coming back on Friday but haven't looked it up to confirm that. We will just see it when it comes
We had a most wonderful weekend with Travis here.

It was mom's birthday on Friday and Travis' birthday on Sunday
Friday night we told mom we would take her out for her birthday and dad for his belated birthday dinner.
She wanted a surprise, Travis wanted to do something different.
So he searched on his phone with some app he has on there and came up with Ichiban's Japanese Steak House or the Melting Pot.
So he decided to go with Ichiban's
It was quite the experience
We had been to one like it before in Seattle called Benihana's quite a few years ago but Dad and Mom and Josh and Ana had never been to one like it. You can go to the web site and they have a video of what its like. http://www.ichibanreno.com/aboutUs.nxg
They cook the food right there at your table and it just makes for a very neat experience.

Travis had taken Monday off so he and I got to spend the day together just doing some stuff around the house and going to lunch together.
He had to fly out at 8 so we left here around 6ish and stopped at Fuddrucker's, a favorite around here and we had some dinner and then dropped him off at the airport. The airport here is so nice, not like Portland or Seattle where you have to be there 1 to 2 hours early. He doesn't check baggage so he can breeze right in there about 30 minutes prior to take off and be just fine, that makes it really nice for us so that we can spend down to the last minute together.

Well speaking of food I am hungry so need to go find something to eat. I am trying to get back to my diet after the long weekend of splurging and its been a bit of a challenge but I shall persevere. haha
