I met Jennifer as a sophomore at the University of Iowa (we were hired as resident assistants in the all girls dorm - Stanley Hall) and I my life has NEVER been the same!During the past 20 years, we have enjoyed may football games and basketball games. We've been in each others weddings and I have a deep affection for her son.
Like her mom, Jen has the gift of hospitality. So when I told her about ROAD TRIP 2011, she was more than willing to have Mom and I as guests for a couple of nights.
Mom and I arrived on July 4 after an easy day of driving from DFW area (we left at 5am and arrived at around 3:30pm). After I got a warning for speeding in Iowa Park, TX (just west of Wichita Falls), I slowed my speed down to 70 until we hit the New Mexico border where you can legally drive 75! I tend to "round to the nearest 10" and 80 seems to be the preferred speed of our rental car :)Not only did we get to spend time with Jen and her family, but we were also able to visit with Being with Jen's parents.
Gary and Fran live in Rio Ranch too. We even got to meet Jen's nephew who was visting from Iowa. 
To celebrate July 4, we went to the fireworks hosted by the City of Rio Rancho at Rio Rancho High School. Count it
ALL Joy!
