It is Christmas, my boys and I wanted to have a different experience from last year's Christmas. So we drove from southern California, needing to get away from some old memories. So we were tired and worn out, getting into Portland around 9:00 p.m. Alan communicated to me beautifully along the way on the weather conditions when I needed it. Alan was at work and he gave us the instructions how to get there, and how to get in.
Ok setting the scene. We are tired, worn out, had a "Stupid Christmas" last year-family stuff, wanted to change it up....we turn the corner and there was Alan's house. Holy Cow, the lights were on inside and out. The Christmas tree was on. It was so beautiful. It was like Alan and his house welcomed us with a bigger than big, huge HUG.
It was a moment that truly took my breath away. Thank you Alan.
It was such an energizing moment, that my sons 18 & 20, unpacked the car and took an Huber to down town.
I took a shower and fell into bed.
Alan made us feel so at home. We were gone most of the time visiting with my niece in Portland. We would come and go with ease. Totally felt comfortable in Alan's home.
Best Christmas EVER! Thank you Alan, you are the coolest.
