Well It's a Pretty Good Day

Another productive day. This morning my dad and I drove to Roanoke to pick up my friend Melissa from the airport. While we were there, we took Little Blue to Sears Auto Center. My dad got my oil changed, my alignment fixed, and beautiful, brand new tires put on. He is wonderful. We also went to Target and got some super cute dishes and other essentials for my kitchen. When we got back to BV, my dad helped me stock my kitchen with food. I discovered that it's a little intense to stock a kitchen completely from scratch. I might have been a little overwhelmed. We ended up just going down every aisle while my dad helped me decide what would be good to have and what I ccould do with it. We mostly bought everything in the store. I'm not afraid of starving now (at least not for a few weeks). Just before the sun set, I took my dad for a little drive to show him the beauty that is the Blue Ridge Parkway. That was an enjoyable experience for both of us. It really is gorgeous.

I didn't take these, but I very well could have. This is really what we are dealing with here. Sooo pretty! Tell me you don't want to see this in real life. Can't do it can you? Come on over. I can't get enough of it.

After our evening drive, we went to Applebee's and had appetizers and dessert for dinner. Delicious! Appetizers and dessert are really my favorite part of the meal, but I don't usually have them because it's just too much food with a main course. So we opted out of the main course tonight. Good choice.

Funny story of the day: Earlier today I was driving my truck, and I stopped at a red light. I glanced over at the car next to me, and just as I did, the 75-year-old man sitting in it winked at me. I know that sounds conceited but I promise you it was right at me. I cracked up and told Melissa what had just happened. Then I glanced back at him. He was still looking at me...with a huge smile on his face. That was probably the longest red light ever! He sat there the entire time just looking and smiling at me. I didn't know how to take that. Mostly I was just glad when the light turned green and he turned left. Why can't a cute, smart, funny, successful, LDS, 20-year-old guy do that to me sometime?

P.S. The sun came out today. I like that.
