Baltimore Street

I had another moment today that just simply blew my mind.

Wanna hear about it?

Cool.

Today Jen, Steph, Amanda, and I were driving, and I decided to quickly hop on the Palouse Highway. I had full intentions of turning right on Regal Road and heading back in towards 57th, but then... I looked at the sky. I saw how magical it looked, and how perfectly swirled with colors it was, and I felt that I had no choice but to pass Regal Road and head for (what looked to be) heaven. With Amanda and Jen in the back seat, and Steph in the front, I took a right on Baltimore. The view just got prettier. And as I was driving along this straight and narrow road, I looked to Steph and said "I have never been over here before" and she replied with a smirk and a simple "Me either". With all the windows down, and the music on maximum volume (not playing rap of course, that would ruin the whole mood in every way), we drove silently. None of us speaking, but rather glancing out the windows at what seemed like a new and foreign land. Then finally, we turn a corner, and it was like my eyes had never been so happy. We were overlooking a hill of homes with jagged paths, trees, rocks, and a perfect slit of sky, sun, and clouds at the top. It's appearance much like The Shire, really. The sun was peering through the clouds creating, what my mom calls, a 'God thing' that lit the sky. The longer I was looking at this, the more awesome I was feeling. If I have lived in an area for 18 years and never noticed something so beautiful, just imagine what I will find in other places of the world. 

We always complain that the place we live doesn't have anything cool to do, or any sights to see, but that's simply because we've never really looked.
