-- We're here, it's not like there'll never be a time for it! At some point, I should and will call people like my mom to tell them know that we made it safe. Pictures will be taken, posted, the whole ten yards. Hands in my pockets, I laugh quietly and lift my shoulders --

-- she's welcome to say no and turn me down. But it doesn't stop me from hoping and rolling back onto the balls of my feet. We've both done plenty of compromising for each other lately, it won't hurt my feelings to do it a bit more and save exploring for another day. --
