This post is a little late, but better late than never.
Airport in Guam-and Crazy one blade fans.
Ever seen 'Red-Eye'?- this plane had little T.Vs right on the seat in front of you. The controllers had phones on one side and other side was the remote for the TV & video games you could play to keep yourself entertained (Jason killed at 'BlackJack').
We left Saipan Wednesday morning around 4am. But flew in from Saipan Tuesday night around 6:30pm. There was work to be done with the project we had done in Saipan, but we all decided instead of going back the next day that we just wanted to get it done that night. So we worked for another hour and didn’t really get home until about 9pm.

And this is what we came home to…
While in Saipan, Trevor, Lauren, Josh, Hayley, Nick and Tara had decided that it would fun to hide random notes in our shoes, pockets, dresser drawers, & other random locations around our apartment; that idea quickly spread into a theme. They found Halloween decorations in the TVA “freebie bin”. This Pirate theme eventually came out to be a treasure hunt for Jason & I.
"A treasure map ye have found, After a long voyage feel free to drop a pound."
" A word of caution....Dont stray from the clues. Be not disturbed by the booty, wenches and booze."
"As ye have sailed across the seas ye must be tired so rest ye head. A wench be waiting for you in the bed"
"Manuscripts, records, paper & pen, words bounds together remind of them."
"At the end of the day when you stink to high heavens, come visit me & shower yer melons"

"A cold drink of rum to wash down the food, so shut the door and don't be rude"
(it was apple juice)
"A good man mere lost his life guarding our treasure, Search through his booty as yer courage be measure"

A treasure chest filled with surprises...Thank you Trevor and Lauren for the jackets! Thank you Nikki for the reusable grocery bag! Thank you so Much Mom for the creative photo album! Thank you Mom & Dad for the sweet card! Thank you Valerie & Marc for the birthday e-card card & surprise 'inside' (I'm buying shoes & bought movies with it =] ). And thank you for the thoughtful birthday cards (Nonny & Poppy; Gina, Matt & Family; Grandma Ellsworth, Brad & Delpha Hall)!
And thank you, thank you Trevor, Lauren, Josh, Hayley, Nick & Tara for the wonderful welcome home!!
Not only did we come home to this surpise, but we got a new entryway-they ripped out the carpet & added tile.

And we also got a new couch! Yahoo! Although the fabric is one you'd "see in a casino", it's actually rather nice, comparatively speaking anyway. We bought a slip cover a few days later. But, sorry, no pictures of it.
It is great to be home!
