Kentucky Bluegrass

.




From when we first started dating, Brian and I spoke of traveling. It was fun to think of the places we could go, finding (as with most things) that we were of the same mind about our ideal destinations, or that we could come to an agreement. It was also fun (and, I think, meaningful), that we were right away planning things two, three months down the road, from the first few dates.

Kentucky wasn't actually on that original list, but when he and I wanted to go somewhere within a 4-6 hour radius of St. Louis, it became the most appealing option. Doing a little more research makes us think we're really going to enjoy this road trip. It's beautiful country, apparently, making our choice to travel by car the best way to appreciate it. It's got horses, some interesting museums, good restaurants, and appears to preserve some of its rich southern heritage.

Although I'm very excited about the upcoming trip, I'm a little worried what we'll find out about each other. Even though we're together a lot anyway, being together 24/7 is not the same thing. When we first transitioned to phone calls, I was worried that we wouldn't have anything to talk about, because our emailing had been so extensive. We had great calls. When we transitioned to meeting in person, I was worried that we wouldn't have anything to talk about, because we had talked for hours and hours on the phone already. We have great dates. Now, I'm worried because we're transitioning to even greater contact... I guess I'll just have to trust that this fear, consistently proven to be unfounded, continues to be unfounded! :-)
