hi everyone! I am sorry in advance because this will be a terrible blog post! but I am leaving tomorrow morning at 4:30am for West Virginia to build a house!!! I am so excited! but yes, I know what you're thinking.....NO BLOG FOR A WHOLE WEEK! well actually two weeks cause the following week I'm going to be a camp counselor for special needs kids at camp courageous. but no need to fear, you will survive. anyways....all I want to say is that if you read this, you are one of my favorites. so yay for you! I love you :) also...today was a wonderful day because I will sum it up quickly but essentially I said goodbye to my dear young life counselor who I love because he is moving to England to be with his wife so that was sad. but I made him an adorable bracelet with a jesus fish on it (which btw I learned the story of how the jesus fish symbol came to be...I won't bore you with it but ask me about it sometime!) and we chatted and I wrote him a heart felt note. bitter sweet! my dearest friend Abby left for camp and she was terrified but then Scott (the guy who I said goodbye to) comforted her and I prayed for her and guess what?! she is loving it so far! so keep her in your thoughts if you want cause I am going to and I love her. then I had a heartfelt talk with Jules like we always do but this time I focused on HER not me. surprising, I know. and it was wonderful and I love her and she is just a beautiful person. we also had our LAST TRO SNO OF THE SUMMER. ya I repeat, the LAST F-ING ONE. ya so we said our goodbyes to them. dang today was a day of goodbyes I guess! then we visited our wonderful friend Gen and she is a gem and we chatted for a while and that was just fantastic. and I realized how blessed I am to have so many unreal, amazing, beautiful people in my life! WOW! I am so so so lucky! <3 :) alright so tonight's song is predictable and corny but DEAL WITH IT! country road, take me home, to the place where I belong. WEST VIRGINIA!!!! here it is folks....
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River -
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin' like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gathered 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads
sooooo I'm gonna be honest and tell you that I have never been to WV and I don't know what to expect. but all I know is that Phyllis and Johnnie are an old, adorable couple who will get a new house in a week so I am excited for that! and for the wonderful stars that are bound to fill the night sky. well I love you all but I have to sleep! ahhhh I wish I could say more but I cannot. I'LL MISS EVERYONE! try not to miss me too much! (sorry I know you won't actually miss me....) remember though if you get sad, I am looking at the same stars as you....pretty cool huh? ok well goodnight! and again, a special shoutout to miss abby who I love very much. be brave cutie pie! God loves you and will take good care of you! BYE!
