Livin on the Wild Side

Summer vacation came and went but according to my companion and I, it still continues. We have had so many incredible adventures this summer. Everyday has shown us something new, something exciting, something totally unexpected.

We went on two vacations: sea isle city in new jersey, and Bethany in Delaware. We have had numerous trips down to and fro Baltimore, and have spent a lot of time with family and friends. We have done wild things. Spur-of-the-moment decisions of going canoeing, picnicking, or taking up archery classes.

We have established quite a bond between us. We have developed an undefeatable relationship. Our friendship goes beyond two pals who live together and have a lot in common. We have graduated to a sisterhood level so extreme that any time spent apart seems wrong and completely unbearable.

One time Cassie had to go do massages for a few clients at a place about an hour from where we live. We both experienced severe separation anxiety and had to be reunited within a time frame of 8 hours. When we finally reunited, we felt different. We felt like we hadn't seen each other in years. The situation was awkward for a bit; eventually we were able to cry and hug it out : unnoticed by others sitting at the dinner table. In a public restaurant. Surrounded by people.

Until the time I go for my official drivers license, I have been driving Cassie around everywhere. I've gotten very relaxed in the car, and have handled pretty severe situations pretty well: bees flying around in the car, a truck hitting another truck behind us, etc. We are very fortunate. God has been so good and had kept us safe from any accidents, unfortunate events, and so forth. We take Him with us everywhere we go. He is a part of our journeys 24/7. Without Him, we wouldn't have had the most incredible summer.
