December has been too busy to write! The best kind of busy that could possibly be! If you care to lend your ear :) ...

Dec 7
Packed up the gold digggaahh and hit the road with @livhelman. We have both been itchin' to get out of town, visit some friends and have an adventure! This was the only week that was available to take off, so we took full advantage of it!

:First Stop: Whitney Miller // Asheville, NC. Arrived late and was greeted with a 17 degree embrace. It has been so long since I have existed in a temperature like that, and I must say I have not missed it at all. Worst part is running to your car to then try and hold it together before the heat kicks on 20 minutes later. Are there any cars that have steering wheel heaters? If not, I will be sure to invent such a thing!

The three days we spent with Whit were much needed. Got to relax, laugh a lot, wear 15 layers of clothes, see a folk and bluegrass show, hang with the granolas, hang downtown and got to go to the Biltmore!

:Second Stop: Steven & Kristi Anderson // Newport News, VA.
Steven, Kristi and their boys, Jonathan & Tyler left us recently, and it worked out perfectly for us to stop by for a visit! Always a great time with them! One of the coolest families who has made a huge impact on my life! Wish we could of stayed longer! So thankful to see them and go to their new ministry @WEC!

:Third Stop: Savannah, GA- for fun :)
The biggest adventure of the trip and possibly the year was driving through the snow. 15 mins after we were on the road to Savannah from VA it started snowing. First 30 mins were exciting. We did the whole pull over and take a picture thing. 30 mins later and I was bear hugging the steering wheel, couldn't see 2 feet in front of me and cars were in the ditch and over the bridge. The town ahead had already been covered in snow and it was coming down thick. For a moment there I didn't see any way of making it to GA that night. Thankfully we only had about 40 minutes until we would make it out. All that to say, this beach bum drove in a blizzard...done!

We were so exhausted from driving over the course of those few days that that we literally fell asleep at 9PM each night! Hilarious! I absolutely love downtown Savannah! Everything has so much character and charm and is precious! Need to go back again and stay a little bit longer. Thankful for that time to relax before heading back to work and life.

It was a great trip! I am richly blessed to have a community of incredible friendships all across the states!

It has also been such a blessing to have a best friend like Liv. She is truly the sister I never had! Our travels together have been some of the most fun times of my life!

I hope to spend the rest of my life traveling, seeing new things, being a part of adventures, meeting new people, serving, and in pursuit of my Father.
