On the Road

As we speak, my friend and former roommate, Mo, is speeding down I-75 on her way here for our vacation to Florida. We took a similar trip together five years ago, but in 2000 we took a detour to Orlando and spent two days (and one million dollars) at Disneyworld. I remember at the time how excited I was to get back to Columbus and record the trip in the online journal I was about to start. As it turns out, I don't think I ever wrote about that vacation, but it certainly would've made for some interesting reading.

Mo and I are incredibly different people at 29 than we were at 24 - neither of us are any longer citizens of Columbus and Mo is now on staff at a flourishing non-denominational church in the 'Nati where it is so obvious that she belongs and was been called to be there, and that is a thought that those two girls who partied in Downtown Disney never would've fathomed - but she is as important to me now as she was then. She is the kind of friend people search their entire lives for, the kind of friend people tell you they are blessed to have, and I know how lucky I am that even though we live 500 miles apart, I'm still the person she wants to make the long drive to Florida with.
