Write on... Thursday?

Yeah, I know, I suck. But I'll save the lame excuses and just do it now. :) I'm really excited, this is my first try!

Here's the directions and prompt for this week;

The Write On Wednesday Rules: Feel free to get creative with the writing exercises - there isn't a right or wrong. Please do try to visit the other members of Write On Wednesdays and leave a comment. You can grab the button for Write On Wednesdays from my sidebar.

Write On Wednesdays Exercise 7 - Sit under a tree and write: Find yourself a quiet spot. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Take a look at Kristy's Tree Photo. Write the first words that come into your head. Keep writing whatever comes into your head. Stop when the buzzer rings. Do this exercise over and over if you wish. If like me, you struggle with visual prompts, perhaps try sitting under a tree to write. I have heard that changing your usual writing place can spark new inspiration. Try it and see. Do both if you please!

Sit Under a Tree and Write- Callie and Sammy's NeverEverLand
"Callie?" Sammy yelled out to the darkness of the night. He shivered as he walked slowly off the patio and into the damp grass. He'd never been out this way before, and frankly couldn't wait to never come back.
"Over here!"
"Where's here?! Did you grow cat eyes in five minutes, or have you always been able to see in the dark?"
"I'm by the tree, Sammy. I'm sure you can make it out."
He could. Who could miss that tree? It's tired  branches stretched out so high up that he couldn't make out an end. The roots came all the way out to the very end of the grass where the concrete patio started, possibly growing further under that.
"Okay, coming," as he followed the gigantic roots to their base, the fog started to clear. He could see Callie a little clearer now, her eyes were round and excited.
"Sammy... I think we're home."
"In the backyard?"
"No! I mean this house! This area! This family!"
"Why's that?"
"Look inside here..." she pointed to a small opening in the base of the great tree's trunk.
Sammy looked inside and couldn't believe what his near-blind eyes were seeing.

Little girl's (almost) fairytale wedding

...Well, not exactly.
Tonight, I think I look at life a little different. People are always saying "the clock is ticking!" (or more like annoying mothers). There's always a rush to spend the rest of your life with someone. I feel like girls ALWAYS feel like they need a boyfriend. Especially now a days. I mean, I see 12, 13 year old girls posting "I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND <333" statuses! The problem, my friends, is that they're never the one. It's always the one you least expect it to be. Sometimes it's a childhood friend you grew up with, sometimes it's the guy you meet at the bar after you get divorced from your husband of a month and a half; but it's never your "first love" Mr. Prince Charming.
I always (even up until today) used to say I wanted to be married young, and if I decided to have kids, have THEM young. Even if not kids, I always thought that if you're 30 and still not happily married, you never will be.
Friends, I was sadly mistaken.
My aunt, that's my dad's sister, was married today. She's been married before, and has two daughters. One being born when she was only 17. She's one of the strongest people I know. She took good care of her daughters and raised some beautiful, smart, responsible women. But she never seemed to find the right guy. Her first kid's dad was pretty much nothing. Didn't meet his daughter until she was a senior in high school. The next one was the one she actually married. I'm not saying he was a terrible guy, because I was only a kid &didn't exactly know the whole story, but I know he didn't treat her right. All I thought about when I seen her was I wish she could get someone who would treat her like the beautiful person she is. About six years ago she started dating this guy, and I never really knew him. Still don't. But they got married tonight, and I've never been happier for her. Her girls are raised up, so are his kids. It's about time she do good for herself. Of course, they've both been there, done that, so the wedding wasn't exactly a black tie affair (I wore a niceish blouse, jean shorts, and flip-flops), but why should it be? It was actually pretty fun. They wore these hilarious T-Shirts. Hers was of a wedding dress &his of a tux. AND THE FOOD! I swear I wasn't even this stuffed on Thanksgiving.
