Yesterday, I moved in with my wonderful grandparents in Tennessee.
The trip:
My brother and I packed up the car and pulled out of the driveway at five yesterday morning. I attempted to sleep, but woke up in Dallas. As none of you know, one of my favorite places in Texas is driving across the bridge over the Corder Lake in Rockwall., and at the time we drove across it the sun was rising. It was such a beautiful sight to see before I left the great state. We didn't stop until Jackson, Tennessee. So needless to say I was most indefinitely stir crazy. Luckily, I had the great read of "Julie&Julia" which is great, but a little sketchy at parts. We had fun driving and rocking out to great tunes like "funkytown", "big poppa", and "i can transform ya". I got a free lunchbag at Subway so I can take my lunchie to work. Then we drove over the gorgeous Missippi River Memphis bridge and entered the "Music Highway" straight for Nashville, where I watched the sunset. Then, I left my brother at the hotel and headed south for my grandparents house.
The Arrival:
A good fifteen minutes from home I changed from some Justin Bieber to Justin Moore's "Smalltown USA". As I got closer and closer to home the wave of the emotion of home hit me and I felt so safe, relaxed, and excited. I was greeted by a gorgeous home that I already knew my way around since my grandmother and I are kindred spirits. Oh, and for dinner I had homemade veggie soup. Then, I watched a One Tree Hill/Gilmore Girls marathon, and fell asleep.
The Day:
I woke up to a cup of hot cocoa followed by waffles and eggs. After freshening up, Pa Les and I headed out in the Ranger for some job hunting. However, we had no luck as of yet. We just finished lunch and I'm finishing some online applications before I watch some movies.
The bad news:
The stars here are not big and bright.
The good news:
I live in smalltown USA!
So, tell me something new in your life!
