Jenny and I took an adventure. An adventure in our very own town. Technically, we were taking senior pictures and talking about all her future plans and dreams. But since I love adventure and adventure loves me, and since Jenny saw the adventures, too, our day in Winston-Salem turned into an adventure.
First, we hiked up four flights of stairs. In a parking garage. Did you know that the downtown Winston parking garage floors are numbered by musical instruments? So if you park your car there, all you have to do is say “I am playing the trumpet when I go find my car” and you’ll remember where you parked!
Then, we took a wrong turn and ended up in a not-so-pleasant side of town. Lets just say we high tailed it outta there. Fast. And were NOT interested in stopping at the super photogenic spot we saw. (I promise, Mom. We didn’t.)
And, finally, we found a tunnel. Yes, a TUNNEL. In Winston Salem. Downtown. If that doesn’t make us cool, I don’t know what does.
So there we were. Two girls with the most amazing name in the world. Taking unboring Senior Pictures. And having adventures.
P.S. When Jenny heads abroad to study in Ireland, I’m going to go visit her. Then we’ll have real adventures. 😛

Her exquisite ballgown stood in stark contrast to the cityscape around her. Stark, I say. Stark. With the miles and miles of tulle billowing around her, Hailey felt like a Disney Princes. But not just any Princess, we decided. Hailey is Princess Giselle straight from the fairy tale into the City. It fits, right? Gorgeous,…
He strode, proud, through the barn. Even to an unexperienced eye, his power and poise was unmistakable. This is not your average pony, neither is it just any horse. The gaggle of admirers wait in the middle of the barn; they’re Kirsten’s cheerleaders and they’re good at what they do. The duo carefully prances back…
She stopped to pet the lion. No, it wasn’t dangerous. In fact, there was nothing in it to fear (except maybe the strange looks from other pedestrians). This lion was as still and as silent as a sculpture. Yes, really. It was a sculpture. But it was there, standing in her path simply…
I’ve known few people so capable of bringing instant energy and joy into a room. But that’s Jayna. She bounced into Gown and Glove and had just experienced the commute worth forgetting — bad directions on GPS, getting lost in a confuzling town, a one-way-street that didn’t need to be there, and then FINALLY safely…
