It started out as an idea, an idea that I knew was almost to close to a dream to even be called an idea.
But it was an idea nonetheless.
It came to me about a month and a half ago when I got an email from the University of Mobile inviting me and my family to a visit day on campus.
My thought process was as follows:
That’s cool.
A visit day with my family to my future school 14 hours away…..
They have such a pretty campus.
I miss my friends there SO MUCH!
I wish we could go so my family could see the campus.
Then they could meet my new friends!
Wouldn’t it be awesome to go and see ryan?
Man, I miss him.
What if i didn’t tell him I was coming?
Dude…. that would be the ULTIMATE SURPRISE.
Then I did an excited dance that looked like the running man mixed with the cupid shuffle.
It was epic.
I ran downstairs and calmly presented my idea to my parents something like this:
MOM! DAD! CAN WE GO TO MOBILE THE FIRST WEEKEND IN NOVEMBER SO YOU CAN SEE THE SCHOOL WHERE I WILL FURTHER MY EDUCATION?!
They said we’d talk about it later.
Later finally came and they agreed that mom & I would leave at 3 am the morning of November 1st and make the trip down to Mobile, Alabama. It was officially a Mother Daughter road trip.
I immediately texted Ryan’s roommate and we started planning how we were gonna surprise him.
That was a little over a month ago and now, as I type this, mom and I have conquered the 14 hour drive*, I have killed my first deer* (using my mom’s car…), I have surprised my boyfriend therefore making him the happiest man in Mobile*, and am going to Steve Moakler LIVE in less than 3 hours*. Needless to say, these last 24 hours have been CRAY. But amazingly cray nonetheless. 🙂
* Further explained blogging is needed in the near future to explain ALL that is astrisked 🙂
