Damon would have liked tonight...

...I thought of him and how he would have enjoyed the evening I had tonight. I went four wheeling, both ATV and in a truck with a friends of moms, sons. If that made sense. There was two of them, one of me, and their other friends and I am not sure of all three names, but two of them were Ryan and Megan. We had a fun night of riding through lots of mud, but then someone had the idea to take the truck through a hole they got the four wheeler stuck in earlier. Guess what, the truck got stuck too. Then the other dude got his truck to pull the stuck truck out (which I was in). I imagine yall can guess what happened next,...ready....that truck got stuck too! OH mercy. So I have to get out of the truck where the water and mud are almost level with the bottom of the truck and sink, there was a ridge I could climb out on but it was still pretty deep. I was REALLY muddy at this point, my shoes were covered, my legs, my arms and face were spattered, I had chunks of mud in my hair still when I got home tonight, and there were even mud clauds in my ear. YUCK! I rode the four wheeler back to my dads truck, now mind you not only am I using Dad's truck, but mom and dad's nice newer four wheelers. I told them to be careful, people I have never met before in my life and I let them borrow expensive things. I was praying, how smart am I though?? Anyway, we got Dad's truck down there, well I drove it down to the spot, and the dude pulled the first truck out. SHEW. Okay, the second truck (the original one stuck) was REALLLY deep. I realy was scared my dads truck was going to bog down and it would end up getting stuck too. I was literally praying that it would NOT get stuck. THANK YOU JESUS, it came out fine, though a little scary at moments. It took a few attempts to get the second truck out. Damon would have loved this place, he would have had the best time. Sometimes I feel like I forget, I get caught up having fun and forget my husband is REALLY gone. It seems like reality slips me at times. Who knows, maybe it is good. Maybe if I really kept thinking about him being gone all the time, I would be sad. Only God knows. I do know a few things in life: My husband was the greatest man I have ever met and I had the pleasure of being his wife, I love my Lord and am so thankful to Him that I am His child, I want to make it to Heaven more than life itself. I love You Jesus, and thank YOU so much for Your mercy, grace, love, and everything You are and have done for me. I love you Richard Damon, forever and always and always and forever...your Bride.
