Hotel accommodations were confirmed today. We need a trip. She needs a vacation. I need a vacation. It's only for 2 days. And it's a still a little bit away. But I'm making sure I'm checking all the boxes on planning. I'm so glad she is always down. And I got a call from the hotel manager saying they are more than happy to appease my "special surprise requests"
She needed a good chuckle and cheering up. I took a screen shot of the request and actually sent it to her with a message letting her know the asshole in me kicked in when that box came up. And... #weregoingtohell
She died laughing and said yes we are. I'm so saving these shenanigans pictures for when we get there to post here. Suspense.
It was only going to be a day trip she agreed to, but then I pointed out that we would get fucked up and there's no way after all we're doing we should be taking a trip back home. So I booked us a suit.
I can't go out to pick up a prescription with her without getting lost until the next day, and ending up with some random tattoo. And I ask her by saying this... So we could go do this thing, and I know your husband is dying, but he's not yet, and really he's our husband, and I'm sure Rhonda (his overbearing mother) would love to babysit him, and her grandchildren, you wanna go???
That was a fuck yes from her. The funny part is this little trip could get us in a little bit of trouble, honestly I kinda hesitated to talk myself into it. But fuck, we only live once. And both of us could use a little mischief to escape the mundane right now.
The best part is I was just listening to a sermon and my pastor was talking about a battle between the Israelite's and Philistine's and how they were completely outnumbered like by the countless thousands. And the guy who is in charge of the way outnumbered army goes to his arm-bearer, his right hand man, and they plot by themselves. And while it's a sermon about taking a leap of faith, he also brings up how many of us have that best friend that would do something like this. Like it's crazy they are talking and there's really no chance but they decide to leave everyone else and are all like.. yo what if we just go down there by ourselves? Like against an army of thousands. And his Arm-bearer is down as shit. Like we might die. But when he first asks his friend, his friend is like where you go I'm going. I got your back. I don't care this may be the craziest thing I've ever heard but shit nigga I'm in. And I immediately think of Melissa and I.
And they take this giant leap of faith to face the thousands being like 2% sure God is going to be there before them, and they really just may be crazy, but they do that shit. And God was there. And they win their battle. And the big lesson being what if God who has perfect timing is waiting on us to know he's on the other side and act in faith. We have to put in the work too.
So when I heard this story, I felt like God in his most hickabilly voice in my heart goes "Here's your sign"
Alright Lord, I to am like 2% sure this is what Melissa and I should be doing, but I'm in. Adventure is what the soul needs. And I did promise myself adventure. I did promise to love myself and do the things I wanted to do. I am glad I have a down ass bitch of a bestie to do crazy shit with me though. It's a win win.
In case it is a fail, I will later look back at this and think WTF.
But as of right now, I am kinda excited. And after my year, I need to smile. So the fuck does she.
