Off to College!


Well we have been on our trip for several days now. We left on Mon. around 4, yeah it was 3 hours later than we had planned on leaving, but Oh well it gave us a little extra time to spend with Grammy, Great Grandma, & Peej. Yesterday was one of the first days to do a little sight-seeing. While on our way to Cherokee, N.C. , we stopped off in Gatlinburg, Tennessee and decided to spend the day there. We went to a Ripley's Believe it or not, an aquarium, and to a miniature golf place.
I'd have to say my favorite place was the aquarium. Watching all of the amazing and beautiful animals that God has created was truly awesome! And to think that some people think that all happened by chance!







Today we went to a Cherokee museum and a bunch of souvenier shops. We had a great time in the Smoky Mountains, but Oh boy are we ever in the deep south now!

White Water Rafting!!!

Totally Awesome!!! :) I went on a white water rafting trip this past Sat. for the first time and it was great. At first I was a little nervous, but it only took a few minutes to get over that. The trip was so much fun and afterwards they showed us a DVD of our trip. There were about 18 or so other people in our group from New Hope and out of that group I believe only 3 or 4 had ever gone on a rafting trip before. I heard that it might become a yearly activity. That would be Awesome!
