Stars

On Saturday the football team played Faulkner – at Faulkner. Kourtney, Krystal, and I had nothing better to do so we got up (too early for a Saturday) and made the four hour trip to Montgomery, AL. (Mom – we didn’t even got lost!) The game was hot, we lost (and everyone thought we shouldn’t have), and we had a long drive back. We were angry and tired and sad when we stopped for dinner. If you’re ever in Demopolis, AL you should definitely stop at Farmhouse Restaurant because it is delicious food. After dinner, it was dark and we were on a road in the middle of nowhere for awhile. We opened the skylight (is that even what it is called?) and just looked up. It was the most beautiful thing! Layers upon layers of stars twinkled. It was like someone had thrown glitter into the black sky and it just stuck perfectly. I mean, yeah, you can see stars anywhere, but out there there were no other lights competing with the stars, so you could see so many more layers than just the closest, brightest ones. It was like God saying, “Look! Here I am!”
