We Ran Away

Work this morning was way longer and extensive than we ever wanted it to be. There were so many clothes on Softlines that I just wanted to give up. We also had one of our girls call in today so that kept us there even longer. I was not too happy. I tried to keep a smile on my face all day. I also tried to work as fast as I could because my husband and I had a wedding to attend this afternoon in Nevada. As soon as work was over, we high-tailed it out of there and got lunch. We had KFC. Then, we drove from Joplin to Nevada. I drove from Joplin to Lamar and he drove from Lamar to the Disciples of Christ Church across from the Armory in Nevada.

The wedding went really well. Neither of us knew the bride, but we knew the groom. He is in the same Army National Guard unit as my husband. I promised to send him the pictures that I took at the wedding. Maybe eventually, I will start taking pictures professionally. After the wedding, Eric asked me if I wanted to come to Kansas City tonight. At first I didn't think I wanted to, but I knew we needed to get away and that he wanted to come see some family that he never sees as well. I gave in.

We went to Wal-Mart after the wedding to get a couple of things and then to the Verizon store to get my phone fixed and him a new phone. He is loving his new phone right now. On the way to his aunt's house, he told me the wrong directions about three or four times so we used a little bit of unnecessary gas, but the extra time together was worth it. We went too far into Kansas City to start with because he thought he was told we had to turn at Fulton rather than Belton. That was interesting. I love him, but he is horrible at relaying directions. I guess I won’t hold it against him too much though.

Now we are getting ready to leave his aunt's and go find a cheap motel to stay the night in. Tomorrow, we are going to Harry S Truman's farm home and to see some more of his family. We do not have to be home until six tomorrow evening. We only have to do that because we are having his little sisters’ birthday party tomorrow. I am excited to have a couple days to ourselves away from the norm. I think we should run away more often. If you ever need a break, make time to take one. It is definitely well worth it to get away eve if it is for just a few hours or a few days. :)
