Day 1- Greyhound, Day 2- Relax

   Day 1: August 14, 2011, Levi and I make our finishing touches on our preparations for starting this adventure of ours. Staying up until 2am the day before to pack and clean the house left me a little sluggish at the beginning of the day, but soon it began to wear off and my excitement grew.We were headed to Mississippi for Levi's orientation and with the transportation and lodging taken care of by the company, I didn't have much to worry about. To many taking a greyhound bus is the opposite of adventure, the opposite of fun, the opposite of  "great traveling", but I've always enjoyed trying new things and it was my first bus ride. =) What could have been a 2 hour trip in a car took about 4 hours by bus, but I enjoyed sitting next to my husband the whole way there.
   When we arrived at the tiny greyhound station in MS we were able to call a cab to take us to our hotel. (Even the company took care of our cab ride!) The hotel was better than I expected and after we unloaded all of our stuff in the room, we took off for a cute Mexican restaurant in town for dinner.
   Day 2: August 15, 2011...Ever had one of those days when you found yourself with nothing to do?? When the everyday hustle and bustle of life just seems to be paused while you have time to relax? That was today. Sleeping in until noon, free coffee and Krispy Kreme donuts for "breakfast", an exhilarating workout, and a movie in bed to top everything off... A day like today doesn't come around often, so when it does make sure you enjoy it to its fullest and thank the Lord for the wonderful break.
