North Carolina

Great Weekend. We traveled in a circle from lex to washington to asheville back to lex in four days. I haven't done that much traveling in a long time. There is something great about driving (granted I never once sat behind the wheel). With an average of five hours between each stop on the trip, the car time was as much apart of the weekend as all the events that took place. With plenty of stops for drinks (coffee, diet coke and a lot of meals). To my joy, two songs became a staple (granted I pushed for them at first) for dull radio moments, track 3 and 4 of Kings of Leon new album. Check it out. The whole album.

Stop one: Washington NC

DC got married, how crazy is that! I'm really excited for him. The wedding itself was great, ironic bad sound problems, but they were so happy and excited and served me communion. I was able to spend time with four of my favorite people, The Sharps. Then there was the after party. There is something very fun about staying in a camper. Saturday was a great day.

Stop two: Asheville NC

It is by far one of my favorite places in america if not the world. I don't really know what it is about that place. I would say its the food or the downtown or the mountains. on a side note as we drove through north carolina my heart relaxed when mountains came into view, which I'm taking as a sign I should stay near them. It's also said that the people make the place and that is undoubtedly true about Asheville. This trip held some first, like a visit to the Biltmore and showing Tex around the great city. I got to spend time with my favorite dog Homer. If I could clone him I would, hands down. No questions asked. As usual the time spent with Chris and Caroline was super quality and I cerish them both as friends and can't wait for little Davic Giavonni to be around. It makes sense that homer is their dog. Chris taught us how to play blackjack and I think I might play when I step onto the casino floor. I was also blessed to see Kyle on sunday night, all I can say is I wish I had more Kyle in my life. Asheville soothed my soul and gave me the rest people were praying for.

Stop three: Windy Gap

after breakfast at well bred we head out of town and stop at camp to see Emily and show Tex the camp. It was good to see camp. My heart hurt to be there. I was given good advice to remember that feeling and rely on the truth at God didn't want me there this past may. It's heart to rest in that because of everything that is in and around. I know God is finishing a work in me and I'm excited about it, and He wouldn't put that hurt on my heart if He didn't have plans for me later and that's a good thing.

All in All.... good weekend.
