          I hear them coming. They just shut the car doors to our mini cooper. I hear them coming up our hollow steps to our porch. I am full of emotions when I hear the key making it's way into the lock. I am full of fear that they will say no, and maybe ask why wasn't this "trip" mentioned earlier in time?  I am full of suspense, because of what the answer will be? I am full of excitement because I am excited to hear the answer. I am upset because I am thinking this will all be a mistake.

          Here they come. They wander through the door and ask "How was your day?", I keep it easy and say, "okay, been busy though, can I ask you something?" They sound a little bit concerned and simply say, "What is it?" I finally have the guts to say, "Can I go on a camping with Heather and her family?" My voice sounded kind of shaky crap. It takes them a minute to finally answer and they say,"Yes." I am full of happiness now I just have to pack and tell Heather what to say to her parents. I hope she keeps it simple and says a stay the night thing but you never know. I start packing for my journey ahead and call Heather as soon as possible.
