So as the sun rises over the oil soaked Gulf of Mexico, I too arise to the screeching sounds of my sister's voice, who doubles as my alarm clock. Another day of adventure lays ahead of me, but first I must mow the lawn. Fast forwarding through the blistering hot sun, clouds of dirt, and wet grass...today will be full of hot air balloons, dogs catching frisbees, and all around down south traditions. All day I was checking the radar, hoping that the gods will look favorably on today's agenda...so far so good.
Once Elaina got off of work at 3, poor girl had to go to work at 8, we hopped in the car and ventured over to Bob Riley's pride and joy, ALABAMA. Driving through the small towns separated by corn fields and strawberry patches, you can't help but wonder...what do they do here?? I felt like I was going to see horse drown carriages and people sitting on porches drinking a brown jug with three X's on it (XXX, moonshine probably not pornographic in nature at all). But I must say people are pretty nice down south. The real south, not like south Florida where it's basically...I don't know, I'm just not a fan. EXCEPT, this one girl who kept getting in all of my shots of dogs catching frisbees!!! HOMEGIRL WAS STAGE FIVE CLINGING ON MY SHOTS!!! But rest assured blogosphere, I come baring gifts (no thanks to homegirl)...
After a while of being amazed at my future dogs, we decided to set up base camp so we can have a good viewing of the hot air balloons. Little did we know that hot air balloon pilots were a pansies!! Apparently it's not safe for the balloons to be inflated when the winds are more than 10mph. PISH POSH!! I say, if seven year old James Henry Trotter can fly a GIANT PEACH across the ATLANTIC...these guys can inflate some balloons for my amusement!! Not to worry again blogosphere, I won't let you down...
All in all, it's always a good day when I get to hangout with this girl...how can you not love that face??
On the drive home I was reminiscing about the passed few years, where I was and how I'm glad that I am the person I am today (I took the scenic route for that explanation, just go with it). And it's fun to think about the future...for instance, a year from now I'll be finished with my first year of Optometry School, Cadillac Bonerville will have a Mrs. Cadillac Bonerville, and hopefully I'll be where I want to be...at the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival with this girl
...Another Good Day.
Aww I just got teary eyed!! Good times and the picture of the baby above everyone is STILL priceless!!
