Back and forth...

These last few days behind us and the days before us are tiring. We have been traveling back and forth between Big Spring and Sheridan. We spent a week in Sheridan packing up our belongings and loading them on the moving van and closing on our house. It was good to be with friends, but it was a working week.

Then, six days later we returned to Sheridan for the memorial service of our friend, Carol Balwanz. We arose at 3:00 a.m. on Friday to fly to Little Rock and to arrive just in time for the 4:00 p.m. service. The next morning we arose at 4:00 a.m. to fly back to Midland. It was a quick trip and extremely tiring. I am still trying to catch up on my sleep!

Now, five days later, we drive back to Arkansas for Kimberly's graduation at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia. We will help her pack her apartment for the trip to North Carolina where she and Alex will live following their wedding on June 20. The long drive back is concluded on Sunday evening.

Then 40 days later we are back for the wedding!

Hopefully, we will finally get into a "groove" once the traveling is finished. The people here in Big Spring have been wonderful in supporting all of the times we have needed to be absent. The upside to all of this is that we are piling up the mileage on our Rapid Rewards with Southwest Airlines and gaining more points with Hampton Inn. Perhaps one day we will benefit from all of this back and forth with a free trip and a free hotel!
