Patiently Waiting

Over the past couple of weeks I have been waiting for my odometer in my car to read 100,000 miles. It’s one of those things you just want to be able to witness. It seems like every time I am in my car I forget about it. I will just happen to look down at my speed or something and notice the odometer. Every time I think to myself, man I have to remember to look at this thing every time I get in the car so I don’t miss it!

Today was a normal rushed morning for the Minnick household. Even more so this time since Kev had to take his jeep into the shop last night, so I was doing the driving this morning. We also woke up late, which I am sure had nothing to do with a late night episode of Deadwood and an excellent bottle of chardonnay by Veritas.

As usual, I get in my car and start driving, not even noticing the odometer. It wasn’t until we drove all the way to Blacksburg to drop the kids off at school that I even thought about looking down at it.

It’s a good thing I did.
