A Funeral, New Do, and Amazingly Quick Trip

So much has happened in the last couple weeks and there's lots to update therefore the need to recap quickly is important. The sooner I update and catch up, the sooner I can move forward, just keep that in mind and keep it simple.

On February 26, 2013 Dan's Uncle Harold passed away. He was the last sibling of Dan's dad still living. The other siblings all died between the ages of 60-70 and Uncle Harold lived to 82! It was great to meet him a few times and hear his crazy stories and funny one-liners. We will miss you but we know you have had a wonderful reunion with family and friends he's not seen for years.

The last time I had my hair done I asked my hair dresser to style it some way we've not done before. This is what I ended up with:

It was fun and I felt like a million bucks. Too bad I won't be able to replicate it. After pulling all these bobby pins out I wasn't surprised that I'd started to have a headache.

 

Dan's previous post gave basics of the interview process for our new job. When we flew out we had a layover at O'Hare airport. It was fun to be back "home" even if it was for a few hours.

 

 

 As we flew I took some pictures from the plane:

Chicago from the air.

 

Our potential new landscape.

 

We arrived at the student home a little after 5:00 pm and the interview process began. We stayed in the student home in a hotel-like room over night and the next day had a tour of the campus. We were also interviewed by a couple employees and signed a preliminary offer letter. With just a few hours remaining before our return flight, we visited Chocolate World before heading back to the airport. A little of what we saw and did with the few hours we had to ourselves:

Downtown Hummelstown, Dan leaving a note for our host family, Hershey's Chocolate World, the middle school on the hill, the student house we stayed in, and the landscape around the student home.

It was a quick trip but we still enjoyed ourselves.

 

Here is where I'll end for tonight. Remaining to blog (packing, drive east, new job).
