Spontaneity. And Babies.

I'm a good, cool, spontaneous college student. Because I took a spontaneous trip to North Carolina. With my boyfriend.
Wasn't that so collegiate of me??

Colin's aunt and uncle drove up to visit with him on Friday night. It was our last day of classes before spring break, and Colin was leaving for a backpacking trip on Monday morning, so I decided not to work on Saturday. Shifts were optional, anyway, because of the break.

But on Friday he went out to dinner with his aunt and uncle while I went to work for five hours, and I met up with them to chat a bit afterwards.
They mentioned that their son, Graham, had a rugby game on Saturday, and Colin mentioned how he needed to make it down sometime to watch Graham play.
And. then. the. dots. were. connected.
And we decided to follow them back home the next morning, spend Saturday night there, and drive back up after sacrament meeting on Sunday.

SPONTANEITY.

It was really fun. I got to DJ. Kind of. It went kind of like this:
(a Lumineers song comes on Colin's iPod)
Colin: I put ALL of the Lumineers songs on this playlist just for you!
Me: YES! Thank you!!
Colin: That being said,  will you skip this song?

Yep. So I DJ'd... using his iPod... playing the songs he told me to.... HMMMM.

Anyway.
We got to their home in Chapel Hill (or was it Durham?) in time to make some sandwiches and eat a quick lunch so we could head to Graham's game, which started at one.
We got there a little late. I didn't understand what was going on. But it was intense. Colin spent the entire game waging an inner war about whether or not he would be able to muster the courage to hypothetically play rugby. I think he decided that he might maybe be okay playing defense.
And then we toured UNC's campus. And some girl scouts, without much effort, convinced Colin to buy a box of cookies.
And this post is getting really long.

We went back to his cousins' house and went outside and looked at their cool forts in their wilderness backyard and his 18-month-old cousin, Hazel, played on the swings with me and was so freaking cute and dinner was really good and I watched his aunt read his younger cousins stories and it just made me really want to be a mom and teaching my kids things with stories and having a cool house and a backyard with wilderness for playing with imagination instead of electronics and then the next day in church a little girl named Sylvie was next to me with her parents and she brought me books and we looked at them together and named the animals and she made an elephant sound and it was so cute and it just made me really baby hungry and I just really want a little baby girl and also Colin's little cousins were throwing little fits all during sacrament meeting and it was just a little bit funny and that was an intentional run-on sentence to prevent me from taking a really long time to finish this post and also for the literary purposes of expressing my anxious desires.

And then we drove back to Buena Vista.

Then End.
