The Battle of Idaho
Prior to our trip, my mother, ever-the-wise, offered up this question:
“What if you break up from all of the stress of being on the road together for more than six weeks?”
This of course annoyed me because she’s my mother and she’s never right. Except that she’s always right. Every. Single. Time.
Friends warned that the road would get to us, cause us to bicker, make us cranky, even lead us to (gasp!) question our future commitment.
But, ever convinced that our way was the right way, Chris and I duly ignored all of the naysayers. As we drove off into the sunrise on May 29, 2009, I uttered the following soon-to-become historic words: “People are nuts. I don’t think we’ll have any fights on this trip :)”
Five days later, I have this to say about my pronouncement:
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Take a deeeeeeep breath. Slow down and realize that you two were made for each other - agree to both be wrong in any argument and you’ll get along fine.
Thanks, Mom. Sometimes I feel like telling Chris that he was Made to Take a Long Walk on a Short Pier. But yes, made for each other too…
Aww! Hey, it’s a lot of time to spend with anyone! Hope you’re still having fun.
The great thing about being in the car is that you have to work it out . . . nowhere to run.
Are you at the Red Robin in this picture, Chris? What is going on with that shark fin slice of cake?! Good lord.
