Pikes and Turns

After a series of big girl months, thoughts, and decisions, I set out on my first big girl road trip with my best friend. We made some ambitious plans that involved a 6 AM takeoff, but after a long night of packing, 8 o’clock seemed close enough. We ended up driving through the Ohio and Pennsylvania Turnpikes. The scenery changed from fields and fields to rolling hills, cutout mountainsides, and wide rivers. It was beautiful. I was so happy. As it turns out, a nine-hour car ride is the secret to a clearer mind. I was so content. We drove through Amish country on the way to Lincoln University. We were looking out for buggies, but only found one. It was amazing though because it was outside of the gun store. Apparently, the Amish are big hunters… or murderers.

I hope you understand that I’m catching on. I get it a lot more than I used to. Everyday I learn something new. You’ve been really patient and I appreciate it. I really appreciate it. Your support is unmatched and brilliant. I hope this turns out to be something right. <3
