What a whirlwind life has been in the last month! We were lucky enough to have my cousin Mitchell visit us while he was working a job in Maryland. He is the first one from the Ross family to actually meet Beckett in person! While we had a great time, I think we all realized we are growing up and actually went to bed at a reasonable time each night! How boring we are! :-)
Then, on February 4th, Joe and I went to Puerto Rico for a wedding. Our friend from EIU, Marty, got married to a great girl that Saturday. We had such a great time in Puerto Rico! We got to visit Old San Juan, go to the beach, visit casinos and bars for Marty's bachelor party, and of course, rejoice with our friend on his big day. The only problem: we couldn't get home! While my parents were at our house watching Beckett, we received 3 feet of snow! I have never seen anything like it! So, our flights on Sunday into Baltimore were cancelled and rescheduled for Tuesday. While I know I shouldn't complain about being stuck in paradise for two more days, I was really upset and missed Beckett like crazy. I really went nuts when, Monday evening, found out our flight for Tuesday was cancelled and switched to Wednesday. I knew we were in trouble because WV was supposed to get MORE SNOW that day. Instead, we flew to New York and then to Richmond, VA and rented a car. We made it about an hour and a half before we had to pull off of the road due to the snow. We got a hotel room after finding that several hotels were booked and crashed for the night. The next morning (Wednesday) we tried to get up to leave, broke the broom we borrowed from the Motel 6, and turned right back around because we could not see due to the blowing snow. I cried again. I think Joe wanted to cry from being stuck in the hotel ordering crappy food as well. Finally, on Thursday, we were able to make our way back with the rental car. About a mile and a half from our house, we got stuck in the snow. It took us almost as long to get out (as well as help others out) as it did for us to get home from Springfield, VA. Oh my gosh, I was so happy to be home. The roads were terrible, but the next day we trekked to Hagerstown to return the rental car and back to Baltimore to dig my car out. What a week! Needless to say, Joe and I haven't worked in two weeks. Certainly not complaining about that!
Beckett, on the other hand, has been hard at work. He is able to pull himself up on the couch and basically anything taller than him that will hold him. He seems to do and say new things everyday. In just the week we were gone, Joe and I couldn't believe how much he had changed! I'll post some pictures and videos! Happy Valentine's Day! Our baby is 9 months old today!!
