Well, my dears, the time had come. As of 4:30 this morning I'm officially on my way to heaven on earth...
CAMP KAHDALEA.
Road trippin with the sistahs hell yahhhh! WOOP WOOP! We'll be comin round the mountain when we come
...and jammin to Mumford, avert brothers, Florence and jack all the way
..we might not have all of our CLOTHES but more importantly we've got music. And food.
So much food, in fact that our mother threatened us to never let us go to camp again if we come back fat
So, my dears, I will come back THINNER. And more muscular (love runnin those hills)
HAH, mom. (Disclaimer: I love my mom and she's amazing..I'm halfway kidding.. But I really won't come back fat)
NEVER COME TO CAMP AGAIN, MY A--!
Ill be there. Whatever it takes.
You could say I'm obsessed, but then again, who wouldn't be?!
It's a haven in the blue ridges, a heaven on earth
Where all you need is to love and be loved,
laugh and be happy,
smile and just be.
It is Kahdalea. And my life has been forever changed by it.
Damn I've been sentimental lately... Hormones..
This is my last post until another long secession of posts that are to be expected arounnnnd June 26-27th ish. No worries, ILL BE BACK. And back to stay and (be on track with my 365 project) annnd FULL of adventures and tales of frolics and fun.
May I just say,
Brevard, HERE i COME!
Toodles!👋

this past week
this past week I spent time at our family beach house in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.
To say the place is a heaven on earth (notice it's A not THE ONLY) is an understatement....
85 and breezy was the weather
the bay is shallow and warm
the beach is white and sandy (as most beaches are:))
and the city is just about as cute as can be
(...even though we stood out in Walmart because we didn't have tattoos...what is it with all the body art these days? self expression is great but just imagine yourself in 40, 50 years....do ya still want those chain links or thorns or infiniti symbol..?)
But more important than the town was the TIME..
boat riding down the Jordan River
slalom skiing and wakeboarding
making a rope swing off and old water oak
solo sailing in the bay when the water got choppy
being visited by dolphins as you paddle board past the posts
early morning runs with dad across the bridge and along the seawall
evening bocce ball tournaments (it's the fam's latest sport....I have to say, we're naturals.)
family gameboard/movie night
intense checkers matches
guitar pickin on the screened in porch
It was just one of those vacations that (although we take it every year, same time, same place) will be unforgettable.
I cherish these times with my family as this is the last summer that I'll be officially living at home...who knows where I'll be next year?!
The moments with my siblings and parents are so precious, I've been working to make the most of each and every one. (and that's partially why i didn't write more... too busy cherishing the moment! and didn't have internet connection)
Family is the people you can't choose but fit perfectly with in the end. Although we're all crazy and different, we are one. And I wouldn't trade mine for the world.
