I love Jessica Ann Cline, Doe River Gorge and the friends associated with it, and the Blackburns.
Mostly, Tennessee no longer feels like home (though it definitely feels like a place I will always love to visit). However, I've had an amazing time hanging out in Elizabethton with Jess and her friends, being with Debbie and just being able to talk and catch up, and I felt like I was coming home when I drove into Doe River...it'll actually be hard to leave, I think. I missed going to Charleston today by a few hours (I tend to talk, and my phone looooooooooves to tell me about missed calls hours later) but was able to spend quite a bit of time at the Gorge and go out to Chik-fil-a (the third time since arriving monday) for dinner with Linz. Depending on my car situation, I may still make it out to Charleston tomorrow. I'm loving this "loosey-goosey" vacation stuff - I'm used to structured day-to-day plans, and those definitely aren't existing at this point. I think tomorrow I'm going with Ryan and Jennifer Vernon in the morning to help pick up some stuff after the backpacking group, then I'm going to hunt down Shelley Bell and hang out, then Lauren and I are going out for a late lunch/early dinner thing - then I may drive back to Morristown or go down to Charleston.
Team ION (I Own Nothing) - anybody heard of it? If not, check it out - amazing ministry to support, run by one of the neatest guys I've ever known (and his wife is amazing, too...great name...) I can't find a website for it, or any details online, but will try to locate that...
Remaly, miss you sister. Your message is one of three saved on my phone as a "long drive conversation". i.e. expect a phone call at a random time.
Ah, sleep. I love Lauren Vernon!!
