Okay so I lied

I do feel like posting a blog today.

I left my mom's house this morning around 8:30 after getting like 3 1/2 to 4 hours of sleep. I don't know what it is about travelling, but ALWAYS the night before I cannot fall asleep. It's not because I'm excited, I mean if I were going to Disney Land I'd be pretty stoked and that would definitely keep me up, but it's just nerves, I get so anxious and I don't know why.

Anyways, I was dreading the ten hour drive here, but while listening to old school Simple Plan I realized I was pretty lucky. For starters I got to see my mom, my brother, my sister (basically) and my niece. Now I'm sure a lot of you are like "so what?" Well, unlike you, I live in a completely different state and I can only see them a few times a year, I'm incredibly lucky that my first and now this station is the same as my brother's. Not that I'm crazy about being around my brother all the time, let's be real, we're siblings. If you get along with your sibbies all the time you're just messed up. However, it's rare in the military, so when my little niece would be growing up just a little while down the road from me, it's awesome! It also means I can carpool to Georgia, go Green! :)

Also, I got to get away from "real life," for three weeks, I didn't have to worry about cleaning or bills  nothing, which is always nice!! Now it's back to real life, and cleaning and bills are inevitable, unfortunately!

And my favorite part, I got to drive ten hours. Doesn't sound like fun, and the driving part isn't, but I drove through 4 different states and I got to see the different beautiful things of each state. In Georgia, the sky was so beautiful today, just a couple clouds, it was amazing. In South Carolina it was mostly farm land and so many signs for Abbotts Peaches and my favorite, the huge peach water tower in Gaffney county, I love that thing. In North Carolina, they've planted so many flowers on the sides of the roads and in the median it just makes the drive so much more pleasant, and I've decided North Carolina has some of the nicest rest stops, there's one, I think it's right after you  cross over from Virginia, that has the cutest dog walk. They have stumps set up for the dogs to potty on or play on, and they even have fake fire hydrants, it's so cute and obvious they put a lot of thought into it. In Virginia, there's a part of 95 that's nothing but trees on either side of you, its my favorite. It's so pretty now, during spring, but it's also so pretty in winter when everything is covered in snow.

So while a lot of people were sitting inside at class or at work, I got to see how beautiful the world is for ten straight hours.

Pretty darn lucky.

Now I'm off to finish the third load of laundry and put the sheets back on the bed, I hope you all got to take a moment out of your day to look outside and the world you live in, it really is amazing.




I told Devin I was going to start ending my blogs with the following phrase, we'll see if it sticks:
"Live long and prosper."
