A Utah Christmas

Tomorrow morning we're leaving for Utah! We're spending Christmas with the Murray side of the family. I am really looking forward to it. We're leaving so early in the morning that we're still arriving in Utah in the morning... and it helps with a direct flight, too. We're trying to pack so tightly so we can only check one big, big bag at the airport, to avoid paying too much in bag fees. Sheesh.

Other good news... we have an appointment with a pediatric dermatologist in Indianapolis in January! We met with his pediatrician again today and she felt like we needed to make a referral.  Knowing that we'll see a specialist brings relief to me. Yay!

P.S. Is it supposed to be "an" Utah Christmas not "a" Utah Christmas? I thought there was a rule that if the word started with a vowel, that you should use "an" before the word, but it just sounds silly.  An apple, an egg, an igloo, an oven, an Utah? Maybe because it is a proper noun we should just say "A Utah Christmas." What do you think?

  4. technically, it is supposed to be "an". exactly the same way that one is supposed to say
    "she told an hilarious joke"
    rather than
    "she told a hilarious joke".

    but breaking this grammatical rule is widely accepted in colloquial conversation. even most newspapers ignore the formality.

    yep.
