head-trip

It’ll be like old times!

This coming Monday marks our “once a year” Uchi trip to Lost Pines Resort!……. And me and babe backed out last minute.

WHAT?!?!! Totally doesn’t sound like us, right? FREE hotel rooms, zip lining, horseback riding, tons of activities, great company, good food, and drinks galore.. and our happy, crazy, energetic asses aren’t….. going? Wtf is wrong with us?!

I remember when we first started this job and were told about this trip, we were all over it like white on rice. We immediately signed up for it and counted down the months (Well, up until this month). Who wouldn’t want to go on a free trip that their job provides in order to show their employees appreciation for all the hard work? They close down the restaurant (including the Austin locations), and everyone gets a chance to mingle and explore the resort together. It definitely sounds like the ideal trip for a carefree, adventurous, fun-loving couple such as ourselves, so why aren’t we going?

Because we want to mingle… with ourselves (not in a dirty way! Well, okay- maybe that way too hehe). We gave it a lot of thought, because the trip really does sound relaxing, and it’s a once-a-year experience that we’ll be passing on, but it isn’t enough to change our minds. We even thought about showing up and just going off on our own, but then we realized we couldn’t possibly be alone if there are hundreds of Uchi peeps everywhere. Plus, we’re way too social to hide away like that. If we’re placed in a social environment, expect us to socialize. Oh, and dare I mention that it’s likely we’ll have roommates in our hotel room? Oh haiiiiiil no hahaha. Love ‘em all to death, but I think we’ll be okay away from them for a day. :)

So what are we doing instead? We’ll be spending the entire day hanging out in the lamest city ever, doing whatever the hell we want, whenever we want, by ourselves. But you know what? It actually doesn’t feel lame at all. Once in a blue moon, we get to leave our hectic lives behind and spend an entire day soaking up each other’s presence, not having to give a damn about anything. It quenches my thirst and restores me all over again. It’ll be like old times when we had entire days that were free from work, errands, and craziness.

I appreciate every single day that I get with him. It’s been almost three years, but the butterflies still haven’t left my tummy. It always feels like our first date when we go out. Simply CANNOT wait.
