Another Trip Home

Trip Home-November 2010
The trip started well….only a little late. We left at 3:00/4:00 ET. Stopped at a gas station and the pump was crazy high/tall! But its ok because I paid with cash. I was laughing to myself because I grew up today by putting more than just ham and cheese on my subway sandwich AND then I fell short because I just don't think I could reach that gas pump!

The drive was smooth until we tried to find a waffle house on chamberlee and trumbley street or something like that. Two of my friends from BU drove down with me because we all live "about an hour from Atlanta". With the fog, the empty roads, and a lot of Waffle Houses, the night was just beginning at 11:00....

It turns out we went to the complete opposite end of the road. So we ended up waiting at a very foggy and empty Walmart gas station somewhere outside of Atlanta. After a lot of texting, phone calls, and gps entries, the couple finally arrived and we dropped off our friend. Then Ellen and I found her dad at the Wendy’s (after we found the waffle house and shell station we were supposed to find)

At about 12:10, I headed home (made one wrong turn but its ok).

I thought I had driven through everything, rain, blinding sunshine last time and now fog like I’ve never seen before-visability was bad! But then I saw a deer, waiting in a church parking lot area and I turned to three different radio stations all of which were playing three different taylor swift songs. The nice thing about driving late is there is nobody on the road: crank up the music, dance a little, take a sip of that coka cola and stay awake on a peaceful evening.

I made it home and scared poor dad who had fallen asleep on the couch waiting for me. Isabear looked pretty disturbed and sleepy too.

It’s so funny though because every time I come home, something new has been done to the house. I walked up the steps and was like-oh no pillars. Then, oh you added the curtain things by the tv. Then in the bathroom-ooo there’s blinds! So fun, I really do love this house. So blessed on the drive home; God was gracious and kept me safe.
