You Never Know-Part Two

You Never Know- Part Two

Jenny's most recent email read,"Forrest, we have the same Spring Break coming up. You must come out for a visit." My immediate reply..."Ok...hmmm...Yes, I will."

Bags packed, grades turned in, I headed north on 188,then turned onto West I-10. Biloxi, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Beaumont, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Las Cruces, Tucson, and finally Phoenix...so many towns and cities along this singular stretch of Interstate...so much time to think about what I would find when I reached my destination.

Within minutes of exiting I-10 onto the Superstition Highway I saw the sign, "Stapley Drive, Exit 181, 1/2 Mile Ahead". The anticipation was killing me. Nervous? Yes...but I had come to far to turn back now. In just a few minutes I would meet the person that could change the course of my life...forever. Life is like a box of chocolates...

    Was it a love match? Or a wasted trip?

    Do tell!

    You are so clever to write through this perspective. It's quite authentic. He didn't even get suspicious about Superstition Highway.

    Okay, I am laughing so hard at Ames' comment. AND there is a Superstition Highway - for real...goes right by the Superstition Mountains.

    Jeff, You are a gem! I'm thinking you better bring Kathy along, too!

    PS. It's easier if you exit off Gilbert. Stapley is under construction!
