So after dinner we go back to my house so I can grab my camera and he takes photos too, so he brought his camera and his tripod. Well we had a storm come during the day and the sky seemed pretty clear when we were heading back to my house, but then the 5 minutes that it took me to go in, grab my camera and a change of clothes, the weather had changed. The clouds were dark and around this time it was getting dark. We head out toward Oklahoma and we just see this storm with bright, big bolts of lightening hitting all around. I was sure we wouldn't be able to go up there and get out. He had said that Texas gets all the rain and Oklahoma don't, so when we crossed the bridge, literally......the rain stopped and it was dry. It was funny....he was right.
So we turn on some music and jam out. Luckily he likes the exact same music as me, which is rare, considering I never met a man with the same taste of music. We both like dubstep and music with beats and then the good music.....slow music, some oldies, depression music....lol, ya know the regular.
We talk about life and I try and take some pics while he drives.....didn't turn out like I wanted too, but Ill still post them when I'm done. He takes the backway and shows me things I never seen and where he grew up and towns I never been in. We take a quick stop at a convenience store before we head up to the mountains for the bathroom, drinks, and of course gummy worms.
I didn't realize we were as close as we were cause it was dark, but after the stop, it was no time before we were there. The speed limit is like 30 because of all the wildlife. It was still fun to try and look for a longhorn or a wild animal, but I didn't see any. We pull in and get out and he wants to show me something. I don't know what it is or where we are going considering I really cant see anything at this point. So we start walking and hes using the light off of his phone. I couldn't see, so I grabbed his shirt, he was nice enough to let me hold on to his arm. We go and we start walking down the steps. There were 2 flights of steps and then we start crossing this bridge. I look over to my right and I see the water and a little boonie in the water and I can see the city lights over the mountain tops. I look up and see ALL of the stars. Its so dark outside that it takes me awhile to adjust my eyes and take in everything. Pretty soon he shows me the stars reflecting on the water. It was so quiet out there, that you could hear the fishes flopping in the water and some of the animals making noises in the distance. Then I look over the my left, on the other side of the bridge. It freaked me out. I looked over the ledge and it was like 500 feet deeper than the right side. We are on a bridge and the dam is under us. I literally got scared for a few minutes. I was contemplating on everything that was around me at that point. I was starting to question what bridge I was on, how stable it was or how its all attached. I'm telling you, its dark. I have NO clue what it looks like in the day time cause I haven't been out there, so I don't know what its really like.
I get over the initiative of me dieing and we go back to the car to get the cameras and equipment. He shows me or really, I wont lie....he played with my camera to make it so it will pick up the stars and everything in the dark. I loved it!!!! I love the sky and the universe. I think its something beautiful and when I look at what God created, like the stars and mountains, it gives me a sense of peace. I was really peaceful out there. It was so quiet and I didn't have a fear of being out there. It was one of those moments where I wont lie.....a kiss would of been nice.
Were out there for an hour or so and we decide to drive around the mountains and look around. I'm glad he knew where he was going. He showed me this one little place where it was creepy with the woods and it seemed like something from a scary movie. We drive, get gas, look at some cool houses and how they were built and then I try and take some pictures when we were going down the mountain, of the city lights.
We hit the highway and is heading back to Wichita. He asked me if I wanted to go to the casino and I said, Sure, why not!!! I was tired, but not really, to me the night was still kinda young. I just knew he still had to drive back, but we headed to the casino. We were there for about 45 to an hour and then left. We both won what we started off with, so we were happy. When we got back into town, I showed him a few places that I photographed and a few personal places of mine. We get to my house and I'm getting my stuff and I couldn't find my keys. I had to call my grandpa and he had to open the door at 3am. We hug and the nights over. I was tired and I know he was too. I really felt bad that he still had to drive all the way back. I should of offered for him to stay, but you know.......
So I had a really good time. It was laid back, go with the flow, lets do stuff on the whim. I like it that way, but I also like to know what I'm going to do. This was a good medium of having a clue of what we were doing. We already knew we were going to eat and he had already scoped out the area we went too before hand. It all worked out and I had good memories. I also enjoyed the photography and him teaching me a thing or two. I'm not 100% sure if he had fun or not, but ya know, this is my blog, through my eyes.
I wanted to share some photos of that day!
oh and the blue light pic is a light that was in his car....the train pic is a mural on the wall in Wichita
