Tonight, at approximately 7:00pm pacific time, we will be in our car, crammed full of luggage, snacks, highly caffeinated beverages, music, and pillows. It will be the beginning of the First Benson Road Trip {well, road trip over 7 hours long at least}. While most people think we are crazy, we like to consider ourselves adventurers who actually look forward to spending 27 hours alone, together, in a car. You may think it’s odd, but it doesn’t really matter what you think, now does it? No offense or anything. What matters is that Erik and I are excited to have some solid one.on.one time and confident we will be saving mucho dollars by avoiding the overpriced airfare {and the full body pat-down, mind you}. We are pretty much packed and ready to go, but there are still a few last minute things to do before we can officially embark on our trip … you know … like take out the trash so it doesn’t sit in the house rotting for 9 days straight. Yup, you heard me {or read me} right. 9 days. Friday night to the next Sunday. My husband is in serious need of a break. I’ve never seen him so ready. Even when he was working 14 hour days for 3 weeks before our wedding, though he was experiencing physical stress, he wasn’t under the mental stress he is currently finding himself beneath. This little {or rather, big} trip will be a well deserved break for my hard-working-hottie-of-a-husband. So, here’s praying for no ice, little snow, lot's of energy, beautiful sunsets, dramatic sunrises, and a blessed time together.in.a.car.for.27.hours. Please pray for our safety {my parents would appreciate it, thank you very much} and a blessed Thanksgiving!
May you all be blessed this Thanksgiving with LOVE from the LORD. The end of our 27 hour road trip will bring good memories with our family in South Dakota. I can’t wait to meet our little niece and to spend some much over-due quality time with the Bensons. Our Thanksgiving will surely be blessed!
