Sometimes, when you’re hanging out with a friend, it all just falls into place. Saturday was just one of those days. I hadn’t hung out with Charles in a long time, probably since the beginning of summer. I called him up earlier in the week to see if he wanted to get together on Saturday so we made plans to chill. It was nice to catch up with him and we had a great time.

Charles is from Houston just like I am and I met him through another mutual friend from Texas. We both were brought up in the Methodist church in the Texas Conference so we know many people in common. So it’s nice to hang out with another Texan especially since he knows people I know!

We ate dinner at a restaurant called Souplantation. It’s very similar to Sweet Tomato (same company) or Souper Salad for those of you in Texas.

After we left the restaurant, we intended on going to see a movie. However, something caught our eyes.

One HUGE bus, don't you think?

I believe we all know what the word HICK means. This, my friends, was HICK! But after we both saw it, we knew it had to happen. It cost $5 to ride and was worth every penny. Charles has a very contagious laugh, and the more this bus drove around the little section of that parking lot, the louder his laughs got. By the end of the ride, we were both just cracking up because it was so funny!

That bus was “tricked out” with black lights, little artwork on the ceiling and everything. The wheels were taller than both of us… Ah, the random things in life make it worth living sometimes.
