SPRING BREAK

The drive to Panama City was one of the longest car rides I’ve ever been on. Close to six thirty, as we drove along the highway, we saw a wrecked red explorer upside down. There were four cop cars and four girls standing on the highway. I immediately felt a pang in my heart because I knew that those four girls were some of my very best friends. I scream for us to pull over and sure enough as I go running up to the scene, I realize they are some of my sorority sisters. I guess the lord works in a strange way. It’s incredible to take into account that everything we did, leading up to this moment had an affect. What if I slept an extra hour or two that foggy morning? There would have been no one there to comfort them during such a traumatic situation. After many hours in the hospital, and a few thousand tears later we were back on the road to the beach! I thought I needed this vacation before the wreck but now I did more than ever! Because of the girls’ wreck we drove slowly and cautiously all the way to Front Beach Boulevard. Once we actually made it there, the first thing I wanted was glass of wine. A few glasses and a pair of heels later I found myself on the dance floor of the Tiki Bar having the time of my life with my girls. The rest of the week was full of fun days on the beach with people I will never forget. I learned so many things about people I thought I already knew everything about. I’m sure alcohol played a big role in the honesty amongst us, but whatever it was only drew us closer. Believe it or not, I remember every single night in Panama, and I can honestly say I will cherish them for all my life.
