In keeping with the reunion theme of the past month or so, we have been doing some traveling and visiting this past week. On Friday we drove to Jonesboro, Arkansas to meet Rusty, Laura and Alex Campbell. It was our first time to see little Alex. It is so fun to see our friends with children! From Jonesboro we drove to Kennett, Missouri to see Bob & Billie Hesselrode. We had a great time eating BBQ, touring Kennett, and playing Nurtz and 9-Hole.
Saturday night was our last official campus event - Spring Thing. We always love getting together with the HUGSR community. We will cherish these times.
Late Sunday night, Rusty and Laura came into Memphis and stayed with us. We didn't think Sunday night would lend much time for visiting but we ended up staying up late and catching up some more which was awesome. We got very little sleep that night but it was worth it.
We flew to Abilene on Monday, thanks to Max and Jerita's frequent flyer miles. What a treat to fly instead of the 11 hour drive. When we arrived at the departure gate in Memphis, we heard them advertising a free upgrade to first class if you could answer their trivia of the day question. The question was 'which Chinese airline recently joined the OneWorld Alliance group?' Thanks to my corporate clients who travel to China, we got the right answer. I first answered Eva Air...incorrect. So I sent Jason to the counter with 'Dragon Air' which was correct. :) Memphis to Dallas is just an hour flight, but we enjoyed an hour of comfortable sleep!
Since in Abilene we have been studying, working and running. The half marathon is at the end of this month. I'm not running as far as I had hoped to be, but we'll keep on keeping on.

So glad you got to catch up on your sleep on the plane. Thanks for staying up late and talking with us on Sunday night. And thanks for letting us stay in your apartment. We found out it will be our apartment this summer! Love you guys -- Laura
