Day 2—Return Home from an Epic Roadtrip
I’ve done some pretty intense road trips in my day. I did Speech and Debate in college—we travel to every tournament typically by car or bus. I’ve been on super long trips, but I’ve never been smashed against a suitcase as fiercely as I was on the 16 hour drive to Chicago, Illinois!
A group of friends of mine, I call them the target, always try to get together for New Years. These are my best friends from college, people who have seen me grow and morph into the woman I am now. Everyone needs a target. A target is a group of people that you trust with your life, make you laugh so hard, and don’t judge you when you dance on stage at a gay club.
This year the target decided to meet up in Chicago to ring in 2011 in the windy city. Despite the cramped quarters on the ride down there, the trip was everything I needed it to be. I started the New Year surrounded by people who care so deeply for me and new friends who made the evening all the more muffed up. The entire weekend was spent with excellent company, I couldn’t of imagined any other way I would begin this new stage of my life.
Now that I am back in warm cozy comfort of Dallas, the only thing I could do to make me happy is enjoy the Law and Order: Special Victims Unit marathon on tv and fall asleep…
The perfect end to the perfect vacation.
