It's a beautiful world that we live in.

My only goal for the day was to sleep in as late as I possibly could. I was home alone and did not get home from the drive in until about 2 last night. Completely exhausted is what I was because the night before I only got a few hours of sleep as well. When 10 O'clock in the morning came around I felt the hot sun gleaming in on my face from the half (moon-shaped) window that sits right about my bed. At the time I was a little annoyed that the sun just had to be right on my face but when I finally got out of bed I realized how nice of a day it was outside. Having a decent sized house and being all alone in it made me a bit lonely. Who wants to spend a beautiful day like this alone and inside? My parents and brother were up north in Pine City at my cabin and I knew they wished I was there but understood that I had to work on Saturday. I just filled up my tank of gas the other day and had no where to drive! After my shower I put two and two together and realized that I might as well drive the hour and ten minutes to surprise my family and spend the day with them. Noon rolled around and I was just minutes away from the cabin. When I pulled onto Tanglewood, the gravel road that leads to my cabin, I could smell a charcoal grill. Right away I knew it was my Dad grilling his infamous burgers that I've been craving since last summer. I pulled into the driveway and my parents spotted my white Altima. The smile that came to their faces will be planted in my memory forever. Their faces lit up like a Christmas tree and it made my whole week. At the cabin I had such a relaxing time. It's funny how just getting a hour away from home is such relief. I truly needed the time spent with my family and the fresh air that I received today!
