So here I sit, wishing it was still the weekend, but nonetheless class awaits me in the very near future, almost mocking me as I attempt to avoid the clutches of its ever so boring existence. So here I sit, the air filled with the sound of a professor babling unceasingly about the intricat details of the old testament. The consistent monophonic tones of his voice creates a downward spiral of interest, thus my mind of course begins to wander to a far away land of this past weekend. Ah, Yes the days of fun when nothing matters, cell phones are off, and sleeping in is manditory. While experiencing this mental oasis of bliss, I am rudely brought back to reality by the professor calling me out and asking me a question when he KNOWS I wasn't paying attention. Punk. I give him the "I have no clue and you know it" look. and he moved on with his lecture. After this episode, I made the decision to longer engage in his seemingly meaningless lecture, and I am now here writing to you.
Back to this weekend...
The weekend started with a drive up to Fredricksburg to The Loft in downtown fredricksburg
, where I would be mixing sound for Six Chasing Seven. As we arrived and began the tedious (and at times disorganized) process of equipment setup and sound checking, I couldn't help but think of what lay ahead of me that evening. Laura was coming to this show! I know that may seem childish, I know that may seem completely asenine that I am excited about such a small thing, especially since i see her nearly everyday anyways, but it was still great. I continuously and repeatedly reminiced the previous time I was at The Loft, where Laura suprised me by showing up, and I kept glancing over to the stairs, picturing that exact situation as if it was happening in real time. My heart jumped with the hopes and assurance of knowing that she would be there once again. In my opinion, the best kind of de ja vu is reality. Everything was soundchecked, the opening band BosC was up and playing and still no Laura, but I knew she was coming. The show started at 9:30 and it was nearly 10pm, and I began to wonder if she was ok...So, I plunged my hand into my pocket and extracted my personal wireless communication device (cell phone) and in a morse code fashion I created a message and sent it to cyberspace in hopes it would find her not only in safety but en route. Sure enough, she was on her way and safe, and assured me she would be there soon.
There she was...I saw her as she came up the stairs and a star trek like tractor beam instantly teleported me to her. I love this girl. Her mere presence makes everything more enjoyable and exciting. I greeted her best friend Raygan who lives in Culpepper and came along with her. I love having her there to support me in everything that I do. Everyone of my friends who saw that she was there, of course went to greet her as well, because they see how amazing she is like I do. Everytime I am ever with her and in the presence of my friends, they always inform me that I need to figure out a way to clone my Laura so they can all have one too...(NOT A CHANCE.) So the show went on, the watched and got something to drink, and I mixed and the show went great (yada,yada, yada). We tore everything down, and then made plans for the evening.
The band had originally planned to get a hotel in Fredricksburg, so they would not have to drive
three hours back to Lynchburg at such and ungodly hour of the night. Most of the band shot that idea down, and decided they would be driving back that night, and that they'd take their chances. All but Daniel and Adam went home, and Daniel and Adam stayed in Culpepper at Raygan and Jason's House along with Laura and I. Since all of us were just exhausted, well each went to our place and instantly fell asleep. When the morning came, I was gloriously awaken by their chocolate lab, Keller. Apparently he thought my face was a lol-i-pop and decided he was going to do everything in his power to lick off every gram of flavor. Now covered in drool (mostly my own but Keller's as well) I roll over to find Laura and Raygan just sitting talking. A few minutes later, Daniel and Adam strolled in and after some casual chitchat, they left.
Jason, Raygan, Laura, and I just spent some time sitting around talking in the living room, and it was really nice. Their house is beautiful and made me want to have a house of my own. However, I know that's fiscally out of the question... Well Jason had to run to work, so the three of us that were left just took our time getting ready. After showers and things of that nature, we took a stroll down the street (the live in downtown culpepper) to a quaint little restaurant called Lucio's. It was one of the most romantic places I've been to, and the only thing that was better than the ambiance and environment was the taste of the food. It was A-freakin-mazing. We had good times and lots of laughs.
After lunch we strolled back to the house, where we were met by even more of Laura's friends. We all decided to go for a walk around downtown and it was so much fun. We went to some of their favorite stores, and even saw where Raygan and Jason would be getting married. We then went to an amazing coffee place that was just awesome. We all agreed we wish we could just live there. We then walked back towards their house but en route, we got a tasty tour of the history of culpepper. It was lots of fun, and it made me want all those victorian houses. We spent a few more minutes at the house, but then we said we'd be on our way and the started our drive back to Lynchburg.
On this drive, Laura and I had a really good conversation. I love it. I love learning
more and more about here everyday. I/we have learned that if you keep the radio off, or low, it's a condusive time to have great conversation. We talked non-stop all the way to Charlottesville, where we stopped and ate and Qdoba...Yum. It's no chipotle, but it's a decent start... We sat and talked, and people watched for sometime, and just basked in the time that we had to spend together. Laura and I always have an amazing time together, and every moment is another moment of memories. We drove home from there, and the ride home was fun as well... I am so thankful for Laura in my life. She is such a blessing and brightens every aspect of my life. God is so good to me/us.
I am so thankful for the time that we have gotten to get away for just a little bit, it is always much needed. It's just a chance to step away from the insane business of life.
Until next time. bye4now! Thanks for reading.
