21

21 days until my feet are in the sand.
21 days until the smell of ocean (and possibly oil) are blowing around me.
21 days until waves crash over me.

21 days until this...

Last night when I got off work, I was headed home, and I witnessed a wreck. It was so scary. I was stopping at a yellow light and was in the middle lane, when a car to my right went through the light and smashed into another car pulling out into the intersection. It was so crazy, because I've never seen something like that so close. I pulled over and waited for the police. Within five minutes, the police, ambulances, and paramedics were there taking over. It made me think about how precious life is, and how quickly something can happen. I have the mentality that "it could never happen to me," but doesn't everyone think that? I mean, no one goes out saying, "I'm the type that gets hit by another car." I'd like to think I'm a safe driver... in fact, I've been called a "Maw Maw driver" more than once. Having babies has made me all the more cautious... I'm nervous to take them anywhere, because I see how many people can not drive. It is scary! Do you ever wonder how in the WORLD some people got a driver's license to begin with? I personally think our driving tests are too easy, and everyone should be required to retake a driving test when you renew your license. You can't tell me that once you pass ONE test, you are a good driver for life. No way. 

Okay, on a more positive note, driving is one of the best and greatest things you can do. There is nothing like turning to radio up, windows down, and driving just to see where you end up. I love drives when I can just think, sing, pray, and be alone! As much as I love people, I need my alone time. Don't we all?

Best driving music? Elton John. The whole Elizabethtown soundtrack, period.

One of my favorite movies, ever!
