Well we're half way to Bowling Green. Which means we are in RandomTownville, West Virginia. The drive was pretty painless.
After getting packed - which it felt like it took forever- we finally left Jacksonville. As silly as it sounds as I just about lost it as I checked my hair in the mirror before leaving. Its not like I don't get to come back... but for some reason it was just strange. I am really going to miss my parents. Simple as that.
We drove to Raleigh and my Daddy especially stopped so that I could use my gift card from my aunt and uncle for Borders books. I got lots of really great bargain books. Cookbooks, poetry books, journals- normal Lauren things. We then drove to GSO and ate at Panera Bread.
Then the hellish drive began. Of course as it got dark we entered the mountain-y part of NC/VA/WV. Holy cannoli. I about gnawed my teeth flat. I was so nervous- it was dark, curvy, and scary. Two hours of INTENSE driving.
Now I watch Mad Men and try to relax and talk to Chaser. Two weeks and I'll get to see him. I don't know how Military wives do it- I've gone a little over a month and am ready to walk to Iowa if I have to. I really respect military families. Whew. Okay. So yeah. Chaser and Erin and probably Logan will be at my house in TWO WEEKS-- my new house in BG!
Tomorrow we'll go the rest of the way. And we'll be driving through the mountains IN THE DAYLIGHT. Very important. I might get to shop some tomorrow night- depending on how early we get there.
Okay I am stopping blogging. I'm tired. Can't say I didn't try.
Lauren, my dad is from WVA, and when I was little, there were NO hwys in the mtns! Just little, and very wind-y two lane roads. It used to scare me silly! Hope the remainder of your trip goes smoothly. Love ya!

lol, I drive through there ALL the time. Those mountains are nothing compared to going up the middle of PA on all those backroads! Just never, ever, ever take a backroad in WVA!! That's hell.
