Today's working hours are going to feel like forever because when the clock hits five Joanna and I are off to Oklahoma for a weekend of no kids. We eventually will be joining the Zumwalts in Broken Bow, but our first leg of the trip will be to WinStar for some poker time and a free hotel room. WinStar sends me free hotel nights every month, but I am never able to use them because it is only redeemable Sunday night through Thursday night. Since I have a 9-5 job, getting to stay for free usually isn't possible unless I take a vacation day like I am doing for this trip.
After the gambling is over tonight and tomorrow morning, we will make our way to Broken Bow, where Danny and Brandy will be awaiting our arrival at a cabin we have rented. We have made this trip before, but it was with the kids. This time we are free of our parental obligations until Sunday. It will be glorious! Hopefully I have good stories for my other blog about my poker winnings.
On a sadder note, my friend Evan's father passed away last weekend. A funeral service is scheduled Monday afternoon. My thoughts and prayers go out to Evan and his mom while they have to work through this unfortunate transition in life. I have not yet lost a parent and could not possibly know how hard it is, but I know that God is with Evan during this time and his friends will also help in any way we can.
