Babes in Toyland

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Jesse and I spent ours out of town

traveling up to Ohio

into Cincinnati.

(Hence the Babes in Toyland reference, 

don't get it? Here's a clip to help.

And yes, that is Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore.

You're welcome. 

We drove up to Athens, TN on Friday

to get a head start on our activities for the weekend

and we drove through Kentucky into Pleasant Hill 

to see the old Shaker village (more on that tomorrow)

and into Lexington to see The University of Kentucky.

And a place from Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives 

called Parkette Drive-In. 

We had originally planned to eat

there for dinner, but it looked super sketch. 

Anywho, we continued on up to Ohio!

I will post more about this tomorrow, 

when I can actually show you pictures. 

That's all for today. 

A House Is Not A Home

On every other Sunday afternoon at about 4pm, 

I have to drive from Pinson, AL

back to Tuscalooosa.

I don't like this, but at the same time I do .

Confused?

Driving for an hour (or 50 minutes, yesterday), 

affords me the time I need to process new 

questions and ponder future plans. 

Do you ever need time alone 

just to think about whatever? 

Or time to listen to songs that 

encourage introspection?

Example:

This is actually the first Journey song that I remember 

hearing as a kid in a movie that I probably should 

not have been allowed to watch at that age. 

Last American Virgin. (Favorite scene: cocaine/sweet'n low)

Anyway, I digress.

Before April of this year, all I really thought 

about during this song was that I was alone. 

Now, I reflect on it and think happy thoughts

about all of the time that I had to wait. 

Even though I wasn't all that patient for the time to come.

I'm really glad that it has.

Have a great Monday!
