We drove to a national park called Sky Meadows, (or something cute like that), and ended up hiking 9 MILES up and down a mountain. I was most amazed by how friendly the mountain people were. Outside of the city, people actually smile and greet you as they walk by. (It took me a few encounters with strangers to realize they were just saying hi and didn't want something haha)... My calves are screaming in pain today, but it was quite a rewarding experience.
NOW... After about two hours of hiking, something magical happened...
NOTE TO READERS: (if you are not a Twilight fan, please stop reading this post immediately!)
Brian and I were walking along the trail, holding hands and greeting all of the other mountain people, when we reached the top of the mountain and came across a large open meadow. Well, OBVIOUSLY, Bella and Edward's meadow immediately popped into my mind. I looked over at Brian and saw sweat glistening, almost sparkling on his skin. He was... my vampire! We'd found our special field where we could talk about being one anothers "personal brand of heroine."
As if the Twilight series becoming reality wasn't enough excitement... I went to buy new running shoes today and the sales woman asked if I wanted to try on a pair called the Brooks "Nimbus"... like Harry Potter's broomstick! Even before trying them on, I knew they had to be MINE.
SO... My weekend in summary: I found a secret meadow like Bella and Edward and now own sneakers that will make me fly like Harry Potter. Can't get much better than that...
