Usually these things are done on Wednesday. three word thursday sounds good enough to me. Go to TC's blog for a bit more info. To put it simply, we're given three words and are asked to create a story. Today's words are: Packed, Cozy, and Anticipation.
Here we go...
It was a chilly October day. She'd had it planned months in advance. The anticipation was killing her. But it would be worth it. All the driving. The unbelivable cost of it all. It was his birthday, though, and unbeknownst to them, the last they would spend together as a family of 2.
It started out rough. The map she'd found online was wrong. It should have been a simple drive..she'd done it many times before. After realizing the map was wrong, they found their way to a cozy town a couple hours northeast of Madison. They stopped at a restaurant very similar to one of his favorites. Dinner was great, and from there they drove to the hotel included in this package deal. She'd finally explained to him what was going on, and he was as excited as she'd hoped he'd be.
They went to the store, needing a marker, a piece of poster board and some stencil letters.
Early the next morning they boarded the bus. It was packed, which put her mind at ease. She wasn't the only one who thought it was all worth it. Some had travelled much farther-Indianapolis and Nashville, for example.
They spent all day in the sun. It had started out cold, but the afternoon was beautiful and there they were, the end of October, outside, in t-shirts. With thousands of other die-hards.
The drive back to the hotel was long...the driver got lost, and the guy from Indianapolis was quite a talker! Poor guy from Nashville was told he had to be at work at bright and early the next morning. He wouldn't get out of town until 5:30 or later, and it would be at least an 11 hour drive for him. But even then, it was all worth it. Because that afternoon, out in the sun, the announcer had told them some great news.
Green Bay Packers, 31
Arizona Cardinals, 14
(by the way...completely true story, if you couldn't tell! when i saw the words on TC's blog, it was the very first thing that came to my mind!)
