Forging Pangaea II
This weekend was the big fighting event that we've been looking forward to and working to get ready for. I was up late Thursday night finishing some sewing. I didn't quite finish everything but most things so I'm pretty happy with that.
Firday we woke up a bit late so there was a little scramble to get to the bank and grocery store so we could pack the car up. The packing and the trip were all upbeat. I even laughed as we were driving out.
Me: I feel like I'm forgetting something.
Jon: Well, go down the list.
Me: No, I know what it is.
Jon: What?
Me: We're on the road and I'm not mad at you.
Jon: Should you be?
Me: Well, I've never been able to go on a road trip where I didn't end up aggrivated or furious with the person I was going with before we even got out of the driveway. It's not bad. It's actually quite nice. I'm just ... confused, because it's so far from my norm.
And that was the theme for the weekend. We had a few hiccups, like forgetting any type of bedding for the mattress, but we always worked together and came up with a solution.
The battles were pretty awesome. I wasn't terribly thriled with the night battle in the maze but that's mostly bad footing, lack of light, and somebody hitting my PTSD buttons before the fight. But the fighting on Saturday, the gladiator battles Saturday night, Rabbitt's trial and Drust's trial were all awesome and so much fun to participation in / watch. I seriously had a blast and there were no issues between Jon and I.
Sunday morning we both hit our limit of camping though and agreed to just pack up and go. I'd just had enough of the changing clothes in a tent and being cold. Neither of us really thought to pack much for non fighting / cooler weather. So we packed up and headed home. On the way we stopped to pick up a very happy Nox Puppy. We slept so much once we unloaded the car, at least 4 hours just napping on the couch.
We have new bruises, returned aches, many happy memories, new friends, and an even stronger relationship. It was an incredibly good weekend and I'm looking forward to the next big event.
