10 Commitments, 100 Discoveries: #4 – Dave

Hi, I’m a self proclaimed commitment-phobe. But, I’m also one that is working very hard to change. Honestly, it’s one of my toughest struggles. But, I am proud to say it is one that I am chipping away at slowly but surely. One day, when I tell my kids of my fear of commitment they will just laugh and say, “No way, not you!”

With the commitment, 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, I’m working to show myself that commitments are like trains; it doesn’t matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on. Discoveries “#60-69″ are about commitments and plans. This post is part of that project. You can see all 10 commitments here and the entire project here. Focus on the plans, I sure am!

One of my close friends had an extra ticket to the three-day Dave Matthews Caravan Tour in Atlantic City. Thinking I was the coolest girl he knew who could hang with five guys for the weekend, he extended an invite. With the commitment to travel, experience new things and spend more time with friends, I jumped at the chance.

To say the weekend was an experience would be an understatement. A few of the highlights:

  • Drinking from noon to 2am for three straight days
  • Sleeping in a standard hotel room with five guys and two double beds
  • A concert in a field of dirt
  • Breaking trees and chasing cars barefoot
  • Dancing in water fountains
  • Discovering new musicians including Bobby Long and Ray Lamontagne
I’m not sure I lived up to my “coolest girl” title – drinking all day and sleeping in a room with five guys is a little different when you’re 28 vs. 20, but the trip sure was a commitment and a memory to look back on and laugh about.
