Road Trips

Erik and I find ourselves stuck in a car, train or airplane together for some time quite often. The first road trip we ever took was a twelve hour drive from Frederick to Chicago when we were just a courtin'. It was a good test for our budding relationship: can you stand this person for twelve hours in a car? What's more, what if that person passes gas in the enclosed cab? We knew after that long trip that this relationship would last forever. Look at us! We were just kids, crazy kids on a crazy road trip.

This past weekend, we spent an enormous amount of time driving across the great state of Pennsylvania in a rented box truck. (I blog about the nature of the trip on my art blog.) Six hours there, six hours home, give or take. I cannot imagine another person that I'd want to be stuck in a box truck with for such a long time. There are many people in this world whom I love, but no one whose company is so wonderful, such a perfect fit for me as Erik's.

Here's to make more years of being stuck together! I'm not sick of you yet, Erik Irani!
