It was really so good to see and catch up with everyone, and I am very happy I spent the money and came home after all. I'll post some photos below, but just too warn you, it was two long, hot nights outside in Arkansas...not my best!
Some housekeeping from the last post: I didn't end up buying any of the three books I mentioned. The first one I really wanted, but they didn't have it in stock. The other two were entirely too big to tote around on the plane ride home. So I ended up with Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express". She's an author I've always wanted to read, and so far, she's exceeding my expectations. A very good read so far.
As for Father's Day on Sunday, well, I just tried not to think about it all weekend. I think the fact that I was a bit hungover and extremely tired on my travels home Sunday helped me get through the day. It didn't help that every flight attendant and random stranger on the plane brought it up, but luckily my hazy state of the day didn't get too affected.
I'm still not trying to think much about it, but everywhere I've looked this week has reminded me of him. Tim Russert's death, a Newsweek article on cancer, the NBA Finals. All unrelated, but still, I'm reminded hard of dad this week. And speaking of Tim Russert's death--what a untimely passing. My heart goes out to his friends and family. I can tell you first hand, his passing has been hard on many in Washington.
And now for many prayer requests: besides the many MSM '98ers that I found out were expecting, I now have 4 good friends who will be having babies! All your little beans are in my prayers ladies! And also, I found out another good friend's father has a malignant tumor in his eye. Please keep him and his family in your prayers as well.
Some photos from the weekend...since I'd rather just take the pictures than be in them, I only have a few with me in them. Please send some my way if you have them!
My thirsty friend in the Cleveland airport...I just thought this was too funny!
