X marks the spot

(lets take a break from the depressing subject of transition and I'll tell you a story about my random awesome adventure I had today! ok? ok. ;) )

Today I went on a treasure hunt!!
Let me start at the beginning...a while back a friend of mine collected photos from everyone and compiled a cd so that we could have it as we go forth in the world. As people headed out this friend burned the cd and gave it them. Well, it was time for this friend to leave this morning and no one who was going to be left on center had a cd, so I asked her to burn me one. Which she did.
But come 7 o'clock this morning, in the teary farewells this cd did not make it into my hands.
I was disappointed and wracking my mind on how to get a copy sometime in the future when I got a text.
It's from my friend and she tells me that she forgot to give me the cd and so she hid it. Yes, hid it.
She went into great details exactly where I could find it. I could not believe my eyes when I read it.
This is PNG for goodness sakes, the chances of it still being there is slim to none.

But when I saw some of my guy friends at the store I asked them, though it's crazy, to drive me off center and look for it. They finally agreed so we were off on a little treasure hunt.

Once we got to the spot which best fit her description we looked all around, (ignoring the confused onlookers) and I tried to call her a couple times...no answer. I was just about to give up when I read the text one last careful time, really thought and glanced at the best potential spot...and guess what? Something white caught my eye.

I grabbed the cd and held it up triumphantly! The boys could not believe it!! (Come to find out, they used my text I forwarded them and went to look for it before they picked me up because they wanted to "prank" me by moving it...after not finding it they thought there was NO WAY that I was gonna get it. In yo' face, boyz! :P)

Every-time I think about this I still think it's ridiculous. It makes me laugh and I'm appreciative of the unexpected adventure I got to have today. This is definitely a memory I will never forget. ;)
