It's funny how a lot of times it's the little, insignificant moments in your life that are the most memorable and the most meaningful. This morning I was listening to my iPod on shuffle when a song by Joe Pug came on. I thought about the time when Alyssa and I saw him perform at some random little bar in Urbana. It was just the two of us, splitting a cranberry vodka, doing some hardcore people watching, and listening to Joe rock out on the harmonica.
Another example is high school cross country. Although I had some amazing races and finished pretty close to the top in a decent amount of them, I wouldn't necessarily classify those my "best" cross country memories. The best ones include my garbage run group and I carrying Sarah Ko on a mattress during our trash presentation while singing our original song "Sleepy, Sleepy, Little Ko" (to the toon of Twinkle, T, Little Star), Hana belting out the Mulan song "Let's Get Down to Business" on Fairfax Friday runs, and going to an overcrowded Avanti's in Peoria to get our traditional fill of carbs.
Alyssa's senior year or high school (or maybe it was junior year) my mom and I went to watch her run and then stayed in an adorable little hotel that was North Woods themed. I vividly remember sitting down to a delicious seafood dinner at a nice restaurant, while looking out at the sun setting over the river. It was a magical moment. Small and insignificant, but magical none the less.
There is a quote that goes a long with this. And here it is...
