Ever have just a completely crazy idea that is so crazy it just might work?? Well I have one of those and it makes no sense and so much sense all at the same time! So I'm going to write it out so 1) I don't forget and 2) that is actually makes somewhat some type of sense.
So one of my friends from FLI is getting married this October and invited the whole institute to come to her wedding. I am so excited for her! She is such a sweet person and she was a part of my life group so we spent a bunch of time together. Her wedding happens to fall on October 21 of this year. Which happens to be during my fall break. I was looking to go somewhere during fall break too, to see some of my friends and this was perfect!
So then started my small predicament. See she lives in Oklahoma and I go to school in Pennsylvania. Not the closest of states. So my first thought was to look up flights. Now flights to Oklahoma are so expensive! I don't understand it really. I got a flight out to Colorado this summer and it was cheaper than Oklahoma. And the flight would be taking me to Denver or Dallas then a transfer flight to OK. So that didn't really make sense either.
So next thought....road trip!! I have a friend out here at school that went to FLI with me and asked him if he wanted to road trip it out there. He said he'd think about it but wasn't sure yet. So I started planning different routes. So this is what I came up with...
I have family in Virginia so I could start out drive 4 hrs or so to VA and hang out for a lil and have a nice driving break. Then start out on my 10 hr drive to TN to possibly pick up another friend. So I could drive 5 hours then take a good rest then drive the last 5 hours. So that would be the first day. Stay with her that night. Next day! I (or we) would leave TN and make our way up to Springfield, Missouri where my other friend lives (who wants to go to the wedding) That would be around a 7 hr drive. But not too bad if we switch on and off. Then stay with her that night then the next day would be the wedding. So from Missouri we would drive the easy 3 hours to the wedding and our friend (who is getting married) has somewhere for us to stay :) So it all works out! Plus I might even get to see my one friend (I mentioned him in a previous post) and possibly surprise him. :)
So it all kinda works out! And the same thing on the way back except maybe stopping at my cousins school in TN to stay with her a night.
I am ready to go! Now I just have to wait over a month for it to happen! It seems to all be falling into place and it's getting me excited to see some of my old friends again and come one...who doesn't love a good road trip!
And I will post how is goes after the trip...hopefully I won't break down somewhere...that reminds me I should get my car checked before I go...OH and make a rockin' playlist :)
