Final Destination

Well after 3 days of travel and over 1,000miles later I am finally here!! :-) This last leg from VA Beach to Cherokee was an easy drive with some rain but mostly sun!! YIPEEE!! :-) The countryside was absolutely amazing!!!

I tried to limit my stopping, but I really had to pee just east of Hickory, NC so I stopped at a Walmart. Now in one of the most unlikey of places was this ginormous Walmart, larger than ANY I had ever seen before! Now after using the restroom facilities I decided I deserved a McFlurry...whats a Walmart without some kind of place to eat inside. I walk over to the McDonalds and find this express lane where you can request your order....it was a cart drive-thru of some sort. I didn't fully understand this odd thing, and was too discombobulated from driving to really care, but seriously people is McDonald's now too slow that you need a cart drive-thru!! wow!! I want one of these back home!! :-)

As I got close to my new home for the next 6 weeks I was in absolute awe of God's creation all around me! A different kind of awe than when I am gazing out upon the ocean, but still an awe of wonder! I was almost too distracted to drive and I can't wait to drive out that way again to stop and take pictures!! I was too exhausted and determined to just reach my final destination that I sadly did not stop to take pictures, but trust me absolutely breath taking!

When I got to the house I was very please to find another girl already here from FL, and she has been here 2 weeks already!! Her name is Shihein and she is absolutely amazing, such a sweetheart and excited to adventure out just like I am. We are getting along very well, and I praise God for that!! :-) Tomorrow we are going to Asheville, first to church and then to do some shopping!! It will be exciting...well back to unpacking! :-)
