In December during our Christmas break, we left the boys with James' parents, and James and I flew to Klamath Falls, OR for James' first job interview. We loved the small community, the mountains and lakes, the job, the clinic, and especially the co-workers James would be working with. All in all, it felt great. It was SO fun to just be with each other. The plane that flew into Klamath Falls was TINY! It is by far the tiniest plane I've ever ridden on.
This is a picture of Crater Lake National Park from the airplane. It's about an hour north of Klamath Falls.
Yea for getaways! We were so thankful for James' parents and for Mary, James' sister, for watching the children. We are definitely more committed to taking more time for each other.
Then, in January, we flew to Lawton, Oklahoma for our 2nd interview. We were very excited to see Matt and Melissa Godfrey, our good friends from Creighton. We got stuck in Dallas because there was a gigantic ice storm in Lawton.
We spent a night in Dallas, then rented a car and drove to Lawton the next morning.
We stopped in Wichita Falls, where James family lived many years ago.
When we got to Lawton, we were shocked! It really was hit hard.
This is the main road the hospital was on where James was to interview. Well, needless to say, the whole town was basically shut down. The Godfreys didn't have electricity the entire time we were there. Fortunately, they were VERY prepared, and even had a generator, so we, unlike much of the town, had a little light. But, no heat. :) It was very fun, very primitive, and very, very memorable.
Dinner at Outback. It was good, but didn't compare to the beans and rice Melissa made Sunday night (using the generator and a flashlight!)
Bath-time with the lantern.
Good times!
