Okay. I know I should of posted my "fourth of july" post, earlier, but I forgot.
Just wanted to mention, only because I remembered it for a moment, I absolutely HATE 4th of july's. I don't know what my problem is, but it's one of those things, and one of those dates, that I cannot let go of for the life of me.
I think the biggest issue in my life which I probably need some major help in, is the fact that if something absolutely terrible happens to me, I remember that date, and pretty much hold on to it. I think of it as my "depression date". I dwaddle in it. I think about the terrible thing, and I sit in my little pity-party. I know. Ridiculous.

North Carolina
Right now, i'm sitting in the passenger seat of the car. I'm staying at Peace Valley Campgrounds, and somehow we got the wireless connection to come through, from about a block away. It's a miracle!
I haven't written a blog post for awhile, so I thought now would be the perfect time to do it.
I'll start off with, NORTH CAROLINA IS BEAUTIFUL. The second you see those mountains it's like a giant can of febreeze just sprayed you in your face. That mountain smell? So-ho legit. :)
Everything is covered in leaves/vines/moss/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
I guess there is a little county called Hanging Dog, and there is ALSO a little church there, called Hanging Dog Baptist Church. As soon as my parents heard that, they drove 30 minutes to get there to take a picture with the sign (My dog even happily jumped in with the polaroid). As soon as we took the picture, we saw right next to the church was this cemetery on this hill, with tons of old gravestones. My parents for some odd reason love looking at the old gravestones, just to look. So, (if you can imagine it clearly) is: my Mom and Dad, running around, trying to find the oldest gravestone there. I think we saw one gravestone, where the man died in 1901.
Oh, also, I think I have fallen back in love with reading. Yeah, I felt like there was a "dry season" (lol) for about a year, that seemed like every single book I picked up was slow...but lately I can't get enough of 'em...and well, I'm happy. haha.
I'm really missing the prayer furnace/friendship center lately, and I'm almost sick of running around everywhere like this. I don't think I have officially yet unpacked my toiletry bag since my trip to Texas. Once I get back from this long road trip/camping trip, I think I'm in Chicago for a good six months.
