ICPC Cleared!!!

We finally got ICPC cleared to go home! I was hoping to be home for christmas but afraid to ask for anything else. We don't have a tree or any decorations up at home because we've been here since November 30th but that's OK. We are going to take him to a friends house to have our pictures taken under the tree. It will be the best christmas ever!!!
