Good Spontaneity vs Bad Spontaneity

GOOD SPONTANEITY

Around 1 pm this afternoon Dave randomly suggested that we go to 6 Flags Amusement Park. I concurred so we took off! We spent the evening there and felt like little kids again. Of course we ate hamburgers...fries....funnel cake....churros....until Dave said it was time to go home because all we were doing was eating. But why else does anyone go to amusement parks? (Please disregard these last comments while reading Lola's Exercise Diaries—Or shall I say—Do as I say, not as I do :)

No really, we enjoyed the rides as well. Although, they seemed much bigger and faster when we were younger. Today they seemed much more jerky and we didn't remember feeling that nauseous after each ride before. Nonetheless, we're still glad we went.

BAD SPONTANEITY

That same spontaneous weakness (Dave and I both share) has gotten us into trouble before, i.e. randomly deciding on a Thursday to move across the country that very weekend, quit my job, pack up all our belongings, move everything out of our apartment, and load up the U-hal. To only then decide on the drive there, that maybe we should turn around and stay in Texas. We're still here.



Luckily, in today's case, our spontaneous urge actually worked out in our favor, with no humiliating consequences.

It's so much fun to be spontaneous. Maybe not the packing up in a day and moving across the country thing, that sounds like I would be pulling my hair out the whole time...but it is fun to randomly get up and do something! I have NEVER been to six flags. We live like 3 hours from Dallas and I'm always trying to get Tra' to take me there...the churros sounds yummy! You look great!

Hi Laura! Your Mom shared your blog spot with me....such fun to catch-up with you! It looks like you are enjoying your job and you and Dave are loving life! Did you hear Katy is engaged? She is getting married Aug 21st! He is studying physical therapy at the "Y" and it sounds like they will reside somewhere in Utah. I hope it is alright to pass your blog on to Alyse! They live locally and are shopping for a home. You look really happy!
