3 hours on the road Friday afternoon brought us to Abilene where we stretched our legs and let the kids run off some energy at our alma mater, Abilene Christian University. There have been so many new buildings added and others have been redone, that it scarcely resembled the university we remembered. We showed the kids our dorms and mailboxes, where we ate and where we had chapel. Then we stopped at Dairy Queen (the Texas Stop Sign) and the kids enjoyed chocolate dipped cones.
1 hour further down the road we reached Hamlin and were welcomed by a “Welcome to West Texas” poster made and signed by Jennifer and Chad’s 5 beautiful children. Chad and Jeff were together in Harlingen for residency and Jennifer and I participated in several of the wives and mommy activities together. They now have 5 kids (and one on the way) all about our children’s ages. And, like us, they have 4 boys and 1 girl. We had fun also visiting with a high school friend of mine, Zack, his wife Kara, and their twin 2 year old boys. We then proceeded to stay up way too late talking, laughing and being encouraged by each other.
Welcome to West Texas!
