Yesterday was a really long day at the beginning of a really long weekend.
Valerie's little sister, Hilary, is getting married on Saturday up in Smith Center, Kansas. As you can probably imagine, North Central Kansas/South Central Nebraska is quite a few stone throws from Fort Worth. It is a really long drive any way that you cut it. However, that 9 hour drive can become unbearable when you throw in construction, detours, and slow traffic.
Yesterday was no exception...
I seem to never have a good experience driving across Oklahoma. Over the years I've suffered through several hours of construction back-ups and hundreds of miles of detours. One spring break, we shot the gap between two tornadoes. At Thanksgiving, I had to deal with a hazy and smoky 40-60 mph wind. Yesterday, they closed the interstate due to wildfires.
So, we did not quite make it to Smith Center last night. We ended up pulling off in McPherson, KS at about midnight. We finally made it safely home this morning.
I'll blog later about the activities surrounding the wedding. Right now, I'm thinking about watching 24 and taking a nap.

Ah yes, the trip between somewhere and nowhere. Hopefully the return trip will be less lengthy. Enjoy the wedding, and if you see my parents, tell them hello! Give your wife and baby a hug from us, and we'll look forward to your wedding recap :)
