Last week at this time, I was writing about my pending camping trip, and how odd it was that my wife had agreed to go. I didn't believe it would happen until it actually did. I was in denial and felt the whole thing was a dream. I anticipated an excuse of some sort, "I'm sick," "I'm not feeling well," or, "I changed my mind." But that's not what happened. The camping trip began exactly as we had originally planned.
