I was sitting in the car the other night on the way to a party and I was listening to some Karla Adolphe. Listening to her always reminds me of Kansas because I listened to her all last summer when I went to Kansas. (This was an UH-MAZING trip. As a birthday gift, my family granted my biggest wish and sent me to Kansas for a couple weeks. I got to stay with my cousins and it was the best present ever!) So, I had my mind on Kansas.
I remember riding in the car in the winter when I went there for Christmas. I sang quietly along to the radio and looked out the window to the long-gone wheat fields under the cold, grey, winter sky. I looked at them, thinking how they would look in the summer; a golden sea swaying in the warm breeze.
So, as I sat in the car the other night remembering that, I had a deep longing to go see Kansas again. Oh, I miss it so much! It was such a magical trip last summer.
Yeah, I was talking to my parents yesterday and I said, "You know what I want for my 16th birthday?" (not really) "I want what I got last year. I trip to Kansas. I mean, it was the best birthday ever! I got an experience. It lasts a lifetime! So, that's what I want."
They said, "Yes, let's get ourselves further into debt."
Haha, that's where they stand then.
So, I've decided I'm going to save up my money and fly to Kansas this summer. It will be hard, but I'm sure I can do it! Babysitting and working at church, I can get the money.
I want to go before school starts up again for my friends.
What do you guys think? Should I do it? Any suggestions on how to get money or suggestions in general?
