After less than two weeks in SC, I headed back to Denver. My friends Jeremy and Coleen were married in Colorado Springs and I drove down with Mike, Jess and Erin. It was amazing. The trip was amazing, the wedding was amazing, the dinner/dance after were amazing. I flew out to Colorado and drove my car back to SC and even the 25 hour drive wasn’t too bad.
Some highlights of the trip:
Jeremy singing to his wife, during the wedding ceremony, much to her surprise. Jeremy is not known for an amazing voice, but his boldness and dedication to his wife, which enabled him to sing, was astonishing. He sang unfailing love. Jeremy-you are my hero.
Being around other epicureans. It has been almost 14 months since I have spent quality time with friends who love, know and value quality food a drink. It was so refreshing and made me miss that part of my life in Denver. The culinary scene in Columbia is a little lacking and the ‘foody’ culture is not prevalent at my school…for obvious reasons. Lets face it, it takes a certain kind of people to sit around and try to name exotic garnishes on their plates (it was a parsnip by the way-good job Hannah) and talk about what kind of wines we would be.
Erin, “Kalan, if you were a champagne, you would be a brut.”
Me, “Why because I am dry and have no taste?”
Erin, “Ha, no because you are complex and go well with many things.”
Who does that....really?
Meeting Megan for dinner. The worst part of any drive across the country is Kansas-fact. The speed limit is stagnating, there is an enormity of law enforcement and there is nothing interesting for miles, similar to the Republican candidate debates. I called Megan while I was driving and learned that she lives only 20 minutes from a town I would be driving through. We stopped and had Chinese food. It was amazing. I had not seen her in almost a year and half. Truly a blessing from God.
