I flew into Dallas Sunday night on Southwest Airlines and after a short walk to the shuttle and a short shuttle ride to the car rental place at Love Field, I figured out how to start my Prius and then picked up some dinner at Taco Bueno and ate it at my hotel in Irving. I arrived close to 9:00, so I didn't have much time before bed. That was the night I couldn't sleep, but I wasn't too tired the next morning.

I worked a little later each night this week than I did the last time I was here, but was still able to see plenty of people after work. Monday after work, I went to visit my parents. They made dinner for me and we hung out. I took them for a drive in the Prius and we went to Dairy Queen for some dessert. After that, I hung out with my friend Adam for a little while and played a video game with him and his brother. The next night, I met my parents at Uncle Julio's for dinner and then visited Lesley's parents. We talked for a while and then I headed back to my hotel. On Wednesday, I went to my grandmother's house for dinner and chocolate pudding with whipped cream for dessert. After that, I visited my friend Andy and his girlfriend, who was visiting, and we got some ice cream and then drove around and checked out some of the new construction in Fort Worth. The next night, I visited my parents, who picked up Cousin's Barbeque for dinner, which was very good. We hung out and played some games and I talked to my mom for a while. After that, I met my friend Bryan for milkshakes.

Anyway, I'm really glad I got to see so many people while I was back. It didn't seem like quite as big of a deal as the first time I came back, and I didn't wear myself out as much trying to spend so much time with people, but I still got to spend a lot of time with people and ended up driving 450 miles back and forth between Irving and Fort Worth. It's nice coming back to visit people and I'm glad I could do it.
