Love is when:

-3 awesome people hopped in my car on a busy Saturday and missed out on all the Covenant festivities to road trip to Birmingham.
-We left an hour late because I forgot a few essentials and took a few wrong turns and none of them even cared.
-We jammed out to Brand New, Journey and S Club 7, only to name a few.
-We just laughed and drove and laughed for 2 solid hours.
-We were enveloped in clouds and small sprinkles.
-I told them that there would be food and there wasn't and we almost starved, but they loved me anyways
-We ate chicken strips and Famous Amos Cookies
-I met awesome people from all over Alabama that loved the same thing as me
-I finally got to see the 4 amazing people that have completely changed the way I think. Literally.
-We played Dabble and Sean said Dunder "Mufflin" and I almost peed my pants due to laughter
-Our team got to be named Gryffindor
-And we played against Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Voldemort
-And then we won against Slytherin after a 3 round tie (the way it always is)
-Our tie breaker was guessing someones age
-And Sean said we knew for sure that she was 1 year old because she had lived in Boston for 1 year
-And then I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants AGAIN
-And we won $50 and some books for AWERE
-Lauranne and I sat in the parking lot talking about my application and all my questions and concerns
-I got to hear stories of all the crazy things the 4 of them had done/witnessed
-I laughed so hard I cried (at least 4 times)
-My face literally hurt from smiling so much
-I got to drink 2 monsters (plus the 2 cups of coffee I had earlier that day)
-Charles sang along with and knew every word to S Club 7 (and every other 90s song we played)
-We car danced to Backstreet Boys, Brittany, and N'Sync
-We got to come back to a hodgepodge of awesome people playing incredible music
-And eat mallows
-And everyone kept asking why on earth we were so happy and we got to tell them over and over again
-Kayla and I stayed up until 2 am laughing the point of tears just thinking about the whole day

Mostly I just loved traveling with Emily, Kayla and Charles because they really made this trip epic.

And I so so loved getting to hang out with Bethany, Travis, Sean and Lauranne again. Words cannot describe how fabulous they are. I wish I could shrink them, stick them in my pocket and carry them around with me forever.

That whole day was just good. A perfect good. Even when we got off late coming and going and we took the wrong exits and we were sleepy and hungry--it was still so so good.

I love memories like these.
