... peruvian dinner for us. Mom, Cindy and fam came over and ate with us. We were able to show them pictures and give everyone hugs! <br><br>Now it's reflection time! It will take a few days to process all that has happened. Peru is an amazing place and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. To see Jeff there and be able to understand this other side to him I've never been able to experience was priceless for me. Now ...

... br><br>The venue itself was pretty nice, and we had a really fun crew. They were so efficient and good that we had our fastest load out to date. <br><br>Decatur, AL claims to be a "Grand City on a Charming Scale"... now, I don't really buy that, but I will say, I found it's alternative title "Home of Meow Mix" to be the most exciting aspect of the city. We passed the giant Meow Mix factory on the way out of town. Sadly, it left it's jingle of singing cats in my head for about 5 min.<br>

... half original retail and most clothes, books and CD's are $4, bargain! We got a few extra warm clothes to help us out as we head South and some books and CD's to help fill the time.<br><br> This place was totally awesome. There have been some crazy things found in the lost luggage department. If anyone remembers the movie the Labyrinth (who doesn't?) the puppet Hoggle, all 4ft of him ...

... like someone is killing a family of 4 to take their bodies and dump them in the backwoods of Alabama. It could of also looked like the stalkarazzi was loose in Huntsville. Which one sounds more believable? Now we are settled into our hotel room.. The guys are at the bar resting their brains and every single girl is in one room playing guitar hero..LOL.. I feel sorry for the people below us. They also ...

... excited watching the shuttle launch on the monitor and forgot to read lines occasionally. We squeezed some lunch in before heading over to the IMAX theater to see Tom Hanks Movie "Magnificent Desolation" and then we went to train for our next mission, Colin was mission Specialist 1 and I was mission specialist 2. Colin and I got to do a space walk with real space suits and we floated in the 5 DF chairs. A little harder than we thought it would be, but we got ...

... dealer. - Working for two days for the Deviers on a construction site. It was just general construction help, but it actually was nice to go and work outside with my hands again. - Seeing the places of so many stories that I'd been told by both Kenny and Will. Wow, I guess that doesn't exactly paint a great picture of Huntsville, but I did meet quite a few interesting people and the Deviers were so hospitable that I was ...
