January, eh?

Seriously. It's January 5th. Is it possible to have spring fever this early?

Man, today was great. It started out really slow - school took FOREVER. But when 9:50 rolled around, I was outta there. John and I were supposed to hang out when I got out of school, but he slept in because he was up all night. It was ok though. We still got to eat macaroni and watch Buffy. It just would've been better if we could've watched it on the living room TV instead of on my laptop, but hey - it's not my fault my mom records soap operas. Anyway, after lunch, we kinda goofed off around the house. We even played a brief round of hide-and-seek. It was really fun. Then we went back to his house to get his car so we could go to Gwinn's Tire & Alignment to check on the order status of his new rims. By that time, it was about 3:00 and all the foggy, rainy weather from this morning had disappeared and the sun was out. It felt so much like spring. We rode to Gwinn's and back with the windows down.

When we got back to John's house (after chasing down Samson, the dog, who managed to climb his way out of the pen), he and I played a little Frisbee. That was so much fun. Then he had to start cleaning out his car. But, unfortunately, I couldn't stay there and help because my mom told me to start cooking supper around 4:15...and of course, she had no idea that I wasn't home.

I wish I never had to leave though. This afternoon was just wonderful. It was perfect weather outside, and it was just me and John. We were really having fun and enjoying each other. And when we were coming home from Gwinn's, he pointed out that today was how he imagined spring to be - just me and him, and the road. I couldn't agree more. As soon as spring gets here, he and I are going to stay on the go. At least, I hope so. As long as there are days like today, we're going to have the time of our lives.

Man, spring just can't get here fast enough, can it?
