This weekend is going to be crazy for me. Here is a projected timeline of my weekend:
Friday, 1:40pm – Heather picks me up to take me to the DFW Airport.
Friday, 2:09pm – Stop at the Starbucks and get my 1st Caramel Frapoccino.
Friday, 3:32pm – Get through security checkpoint without getting frisked.
Friday, 5:05pm – Fly from Dallas, Texas to Denver, Colorado.
Friday, 6:11pm – Arrive in Denver, and sit for over two hours.
Friday, 6:23pm – Find a Starbucks in the Denver airport and get my 2nd Caramel Frapoccino.
Friday, 8:45pm – Fly from Denver, Colorado to Omaha, Nebraska.
Friday, 11:10pm – Arrive in Omaha, Nebraska and meet up with Ben Vos’ Uncle Rod and Uncle Gary.
Friday, 11:32pm – Meet Uncle Rod and Uncle Gary for the first time, introduce myself, and give a good, firm (but not like I’m trying to hard to man up) handshake.
Friday, 11:49pm – Rent car and begin driving to Maurice, Iowa with Uncle Rod and Uncle Gary.
Saturday, 2:18am – Arrive in Maurice, Iowa and sleep for a few hours.
Saturday, 2:00pm – Watch Ben Vos & Lisa Muilenburg become Ben Vos and Lisa Vos. They are getting married Saturday afternoon.
Saturday, 3:03pm – Go to the wedding reception, eat some goodies, and wait for everybody to leave.
Saturday, 7:23pm – Begin to pack Lisa’s car full of their wedding presents and other stuff.
Saturday, 8:09pm – Begin the long 778 mile drive from Maurice, Iowa to Sulphur Springs, Texas. I am driving Lisa’s car back so that Ben and Lisa (who are going to begin ministry at Shannon Oaks Church the first week of June) will not have to drive back to Iowa after their honeymoon. Yeah, I’m taking one for the team.
Saturday, 11:57pm – Stop at a hotel somewhere in between Maurice, Iowa and Sulphur Springs, Texas.
Sunday, 8:03am – Back on the road again. The game plan is to listen to my first audiobook, Game of Shadows, that I downloaded (by the way, thanks for the audiobook suggestion, Kate) and find as many Starbucks as I can.
Sunday, 5:47pm – Arrive back in Sulphur Springs, Texas.
Sunday, 6:00pm – Enjoy the last Growth Group of the semester with the high schoolers at JP’s house.
Sunday, 8:36pm – Finally go home.
Sunday, 8:38pm – Go to sleep.
Seven states (Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma) in 48 hours. Seeing one of my great friends and future coworker get married. Listening to my first ever audiobook. Driving 778 miles all by my lonesome in somebody else’s car.
What a weekend, huh?
