Friday at around 7 am my mom texted me saying see you tonight. That meant we were going to West Virginia to see family. That also meant I had a ton of quick packing to do, go to class, get my medicines for the month, and be ready for Monday. All in a matter of 4 hours! As I was getting ready to walk to my class, my teach
er sends an email saying that class was cancelled because she was sick. So I got to leave an hour early.
After 4 hours of freaking out that I had a flat tire, I got to Mooresville and got the air checked. Then ventured home! When I got home, I said hey to my parents and the puppies, and went to surprise my brother at his friends house! He pulled me out of the room he was in, closed the door, and gave me the TIGHTEST hug!
Here is a little background on my brother. He is 15 years old, way taller than
me, and has never hugged me! It totally surprised me! Needless to say you're never too old for a hug from your little brother. It was what I needed too.
So dad went to get the family food. When he got back, we all ate, dad took my brother to work and mom and I left for our trip! Well after stopping at Clinique for some much needed make up. Lets just say I have been squeezing the foundation out for weeks, and using purple for special occasion eyeliner for a while now....
After a long 6 hour drive, it was 2:30 am and mom and I were exhausted! The next day my grandma made buckwheat pan
cakes? I think that is what it is cal
led. Okay they are disgusting! Later mom and I went to the town she grew up in. It was really cool to see where she grew up, and where her parents lived while they were married. Then we had the party :)
Parties in West Virginia involving the Hanlin's are quite interesting! I think anyone who is not part of the family would be terrified of our get togethers! They're a blast and EVERYONE lets loose!
The hardest part of going there is hearing everyone ask about Christopher, ask when they'll meet him, etc. It kills me becaus
e I want to take him there! He just doesn't get time off to go! So my answer to them is eventually, one d
ay.
Eventually, one day is my answer to everything nowadays it seems.
So Sunday when it was time to go it was a long, gross 6 hours! When we got back to Mooresville, I still had 4 hours to go, I was starving, and tired of
being in a car. So daddy took me to Salsaritas, gave me Red Bull (even though he knows I hate it) and sent me on my way. About 2 hours into the trip I was exhausted, couldn't see, and giving up! So I called my grandparents, they live an hour from my school, to see if I could stay with them. So I got there at like 11, printed off lectures for the next day, and passed out!
I woke up at 6 am to be at school no later than 8:00. Idk if you added but that is over 20 hours of driving in 3 days! Boy oh boy was I exhausted!
Now I am back at school in my normal routine! Got my nails done today, and went to try on dresses for the ball and get color swatches. They called Chris my fiance and it totally tripped me out! I stuttered and told her what she was asking.
I see him in 2 days and I am soo excited! I can't wait! It's going to be great and definitely much needed!
Now I am off to pack and do yet another load of laundry!
