Change in Plans

I had the rest of my summer pretty carefully planned out a couple of days ago. Then yesterday morning I decided I really want to go "home" to my family. I thought about it all day Sunday and got up this morning and left. I'd spent the second half of the weekend in Heber City, with Rachel, so I'm rather underprepared for a week away - not enough clothes, no phone charger, produce locked in my apartment in Provo, etc. But I did it anyway. I drove 8 hours to Lovell, Wyoming today. It was a nice day (weather in the 80s) and my car performed beautifully. Great mileage and no problems. I could tell it's been a long while since I drove it long distances because I'd forgotten how many seconds it should take to drive a mile at each speed (75 mph, 65, etc...) - I'll leave it to you to figure out why I need to know that.
Wyoming is beautiful right now and it was really quite a nice drive. MUCH better than my last trip through southern Wyoming in May.
And I definitely surprised my family. :) We're watching the Olympics right now - imagine that.
I'll probably right more of my reflections during my driving - I always compose great journal entries and blog posts while I drive. Once I can write, I don't. Alas.
But aren't you impressed at my spontaneity? Who knew I had it in me?
