It's Official

So today I became an official McCloy. The first time I met Jax we wen't to a gas station to get a big gulp.. at the time I didn't think to much about it, I thought he was just thirsty.. boy was that I naive. When you are a McCloy going to get a big gulp is an outing, an outing that is repeated nightly. When we first started hanging out apparently I only drank "clear liquids".. the day that I got a 1 liter bottle of Pepsi Jaxon says is the day he fell in love with me. Anyways, many of the McCloy's have worked in gas stations merely for the drinks. These gas stations became the hang-out for the other McCloy's to gather at. Jaxon's cousin and best friend Jaron worked at a gas station the year that we dated, and we were at that gas station for most of our courtship. The McCloy's are easy going and easy to please people. Being kinda a health nut myself never really drank to much soda. I have now discovered the sodas that I really do like and have a soda most nights. Well today while we were driving down to Kaysville for Jaxon's cousin's baptism i told Jaxon that I have discovered a gas station on my own that carried the rare drink that is my favorite (diet code red mountain dew).. he got teary eyed and said its official, you are a McCloy, you held out for awhile, and we weren't sure you would make it.. but you did it! I sit here now drinking my code red thinking how different the McCloys and the Harline's are, and how wonderful that I get both sides of living. The McCloys could tell you which gas station in pretty much any city they have spent any amount of time is has the best of any type of carbonated beverage. The Harline's could tell you which mall has the best of any type of store, shoes stores jewelry stores etc.. The McCloys know the prime camping and Jeepin' spots. The Harline's could tell you which nail place gives the best manis and pedis. How awesome is it that I now get the best of both worlds?!
