Queen of the Road

I had such a great time being back at ETBU and visiting the sisters. Here are a few pics from the trip:

Being back at my alma mater always makes me a little emo/nostalgic. I am envious of college kids and the life they live. No one cares what you are doing with your life in college - you're in college! You get to wear hoodies and take naps and sit under trees and play the guitar. It's such a fun fun time. It's like for four years time is just frozen. No one expects you to have a major life plan or questions why you are single. I know I had frustrating experiences there, and I'm grateful that I'm done having homework...but honestly, I understand why some people go to college for eight years. It's like building a shield around yourself. No one can question what you are doing. "I'm going to college right now...check back with me in a couple of years." 

I think I also have some type of crush on the open road. I love love LOVE roadtrips. I have the urge about once a month to just get in my truck and drive ANYWHERE...just drive and drive and drive; especially when the weather is lovely like it has been lately. I want to roll down my windows, turn up the music and drive. I want to stop on the side of the road at random stands and buy homemade jelly and watermelons and old furniture. I want to turn off my cell phone and go somewhere where no one knows my name; a place where no one expects me to answer questions or plan an event or wash dishes. You give me my ipod, a tank of gas and a Dr. Pepper with crushed ice and I am good to go. Woo...I can’t even talk about it. I get too excited. Haha...pretty sure the next road trip for me won’t happen until January when I head to Dallas for my sweet sweet friend Angie’s wedding. Let the countdown begin! :)

You will also be happy to know that the Webb fam is going on our first annual WEBB CAMPING TRIP in March! Oh my gosh. I’m excited. We are headed to Arkansas for a week...Dad, Mom, Dixie & Steven, Glory & Dustin, Galilee, Nathan, Cana and of course, yours truly. I have been wanting to go on vacation all together for one hundred years but this year we’re actually making it happen. I think it will be great fun and something we can continue to do as we add to the family with spouses and babies...hooray! It will be so amazing for us to be able to hang out other than the holidays – when we are always so frazzled and rushed. Talk about a roadtrip! Come quickly March. :)

November is coming soon and will be filled with a big A.C.S. fundraiser, Thanksgiving parties, a Fall Festival, baked goods and family visits. I do love this sweet month and it’s pumpkin goodness. I have an overwhelming urge to fill my house to the brim with candles that smell like autumn spices and bake pies until I can’t see my counter...Mmmm. :)
