858.4 miles... thats kind of a bit
15 hours 45 minutes in a car... also a bit.
2 whole audio books and some adventures and odyssey and a bunch of just radio... well that was just needed to cope with all that time in the car.
i left friday after work and headed to north dakota. apparently 3 o'clock is rush hour. in the first hour i had gotten a whole 20 miles. i borrowed a power inverter so i could power my laptop in the car once the battery ran out so i could keep listening to my audio books. but apparently it doesn't work for computers... just little things i guess. so there was some radio listening.
camp was good. nice to see everyone. good to be back. since i wasn't work i showed up late for breakfast on saturday... just cause i could.
another drive. this time to south dakota. austen's wedding at 5. rolled into town at 4:45. went to walmart to buy a card, stopped at perkins to change in the bathroom. when i walked in carrying a dress shirt and pants the hostess had a confused look on her face. i gave her a "i'm fine" wave and walked into the bathroom. when i walked out i saw the "ooh i get it now" look spread across her face. got to the wedding right on time.
wedding was good. congratulations austen and randi fagerland.
reception was good. i saw people i haven't seen in years. its odd. you don't realize how long you haven't seen people for until you see them again at the end of that long time.
spent the night at levis. went to church then lunch with the darlings. then another drive. back to minnesota this time. this drive was not interstate like the other two. not as quick, but more interesting. and amazing and unbeleivable as it seems i finished my last audiobook right when i pulled in the driveway. amazing.
Quite the weekend. Sounds like a good time. It's crazy when you see camp people you haven't seen in years. When you are working at camp, you feel like you will see those people for the rest of your life since you eat, sleep, pray, and joke with those people every day. And when you don't...it's just strange.
ReplyDeleteit's so strange it makes me want to shout and spit.so anyway, I know a girl named randi who I think went to the same school, she was from belle fourche, sd. I can't imagine her marrying austen though. But you never know. Did you find out her name? Did you find out... anything... about her?t
ReplyDeleteThomas~ It was SOOO good to see you. I am glad I was able to feed you candy bar pie, even if it was only one piece. It was definitely a pick me up for me to see you. Glad you made it everywhere you needed to be in one piece. Take care sir and hope to see you again sooner rather than later. ~me
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a surprise for you coming out to camp sir. I am sorry didn't get a chance to talk to much those two days as you know Friday nights were always a bit more of a challenge when it comes to media work, not that i did half as good of a job as you and Kristin. So how is the new house...not that you have spent a whole lot of time there???
ReplyDeleteThomas you are missed. Just wanted to remind you. ~the cook
