O.K. I got reprimanded by my dear friend this weekend for being a bad blogger. Sorry. 🙁 I like you all and I feel bad that I’ve dropped the ball. Sometimes I just don’t feel like I have anything to offer. Sooo…all that to say this week I’m going to try and blog more. 🙂 Wedding pics anyone? Yeah coming up.
But today I just want to offer you a glimpse into my life. Haha, please don’t run! 😉 Yesterday after church my dad said one of my favorite lines of his, “Head out on that highway…” and that’s where I chime in and sing, “lookin’ for adventure”. This means we are going for a drive with an unknown destination and most likely a treat will be involved. Um, yes please! You should know that even though I’m 24 I still get giddy and excited like a 3 year old about the smallest things. Off we went and we did end up getting something to eat that we each wanted. I went for the pint of vanilla ice cream and root beer so that I could make a root beer float. Never mind the fact that I didn’t have a cup. Improvise right? So yeah I just ate some of the ice cream and poured the pop in as I went. We got some yummines and headed out for a spot to eat them. Driving along in the country was stunning. Massive, fluffy, gray and white clouds layered over each other painting a majestic castle of delight. The green trees stretched on before us and the road twisted and turned. Eventually we reminded dad that the ice cream was melting and could we find a spot to stop. We did. Where? Oh, ya know we just pulled over on a deserted road…next to a Christmas tree farm and rolled down the windows. Yep, we’re weird. But we were having a blast and laughing our heads off. Going on these funny adventures brings out the best in all of us and we were teasing and being goofs. It was delightful. I never want to forget how dad and I were going back and forth being silly and how he threw his head back and laughed with that deep laugh of his. I never want to forget how I laughed so hard I cried and then I made my adorable mom hop out of the car and stand in the road to let dad take a picture. Oh yes, we’re a bit odd but you know what? We don’t care because we get each other and we are having a good time. Moments like that make me feel alive just being. Letting the stillness be broken by hearty joy and sweet friendship. I’m so blessed. “Heading out on that highway…looking for adventure.” That’s us.
What a wonderful story!
Glad you liked it. 😀
