Molly knocked on my door this morning around 7 o'clock to show me where Buddy the elf was hiding. I had originally planned to leave after going to sacrament meeting and Sunday School, which would mean I would leave around 12 or 1. I was worried about this because of my tendency to fall asleep when I am driving in the afternoon. I decided to say a prayer. After saying my prayer I felt like I should leave this morning, so I packed everything up and said my goodbyes. When I said goodbye to James Hayden he helped me by carrying my suitcases to the car and loading them in. Such a gentleman. Tricia's flight home is scheduled for this evening. I left around 8 am. Today is fast Sunday so I didn't have anything to eat but I did take sugar free cough drops and diet Pepsi. I am sorry that I will miss taking the sacrament and hearing Jared give his Sunday School lesson.
El Paso's radio station 99.9 plays Christmas music just like 99.9 in Phoenix, so that's what I listened to until I got to Silver City. I love the 75 mph speed limit on the Texas part of interstate 10.
I never stopped once and was home before 1:30. James was so happy to see me and I was happy to see him.
We had some sad news this afternoon. Aaron, Tricia's brother took a turn for the worse. He developed a blood clot that went to his brain and caused his death. This all happened just before Tricia left for the airport, so she stayed with the family. They are all devastated especially after thinking yesterday he was going to get better.
James and I watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional this evening featuring President's Monson, Eyring and Uchtdorf. We considered this our FHE.
