The Craziest Week of My Life - Part 1

The obvious first question people will ask when you start a blog will be something like:  "What's the name of it?" followed by "Why did you name it that?"...well in an effort to answer these questions and ones like them, allow me to tell you about one the craziest weeks of my life:

Thursday, March 3rd, 2011:
6:30pm - I get home from working a 10 hour day
6:43pm - Missed call from Craig, one of my best friends in the Navy living in Pensacola, Florida, followed immediately by a text.  Via texting back and forth I learn that Craig is getting married on Saturday and he wants me to be there.
6:45pm - I'm thinking I would love to go but just can't...it's to crazy and not enough notice
6:49pm - David, Craig's brother who also shares the rank of best friend (we all lived together in college), calls me...asks me if I want to go to Florida this weekend...my mindset immediately changes and I know that David and I MUST make the trip...you see we talked about making a crazy road trip one night in college and never did it...leaving in the middle of the night to drive 280 miles for a hamburger...it was a decision all involved regretted not making and still do!
6:55pm - I begin getting ready to leave, call to explain that I can't work for a few days...very relaxed working environmental and boss...and begin to pack while I wait for confirmation from David that he can make the trip...he had to clear it with his job and more importantly his wife, who he would have to leave at home to care for their 2 month old newborn son and 5 year old.
7:56pm - Receive confirmation from David that he has gained the proper permission to go to Florida for the weekend (Thanks Vanessa!)
8:00pm - I get in my truck and begin my 4hr journey to David's house in Justin, Tx.

My journey had just begun...and you can begin to see the meaning behind the name of this blog and what life is like living inside a whirlwind...
