May 8–From South to North

Today I didn’t feel like waking up. This is a common thing, but my lack of motivation seemed greater today so when my alarm went off at 8 I was quick to ignore it. At nine I awoke again but still hadn’t quite worked up the motivation to face the day. Finally I got up at about 10 and walked down to the kitchen where Ed and Marty were preparing breakfast.

We had omelets, ham and cheese, and considering how little I’ve had omelets they were very good. I told both Ed and Marty of our intentions to hit the road later that day so while we ate we discussed plans for visiting in the future sometime. After breakfast Isaac and I got ready and started packing everything into the car.

Eventually we got everything into the car, and before we were really ready to leave, we were going to. Before we did, we took a couple pictures with Ed and Marty but then we were off.

We didn’t drive long today. We planned on Visiting a friend, Selena, in the afternoon and it was only about a hour and a half drive to where she lived. We arrived before she was available so we drove around a little in the city but eventually Selena decided that she wasn’t going to be available. Before we left I made a phone call to my mom, wishing her a happy birthday and discussing things back home. Everything seemed alright and she seemed to be enjoying the day celebrating her.

The road to where we are staying for the night was only another hour and a half, so we quickly arrived at the house. A past teacher of ours, Mr. Jon Pavlack, and his wife said that he would be willing to put us up for a couple of days and we were glad to see them.

Jon made us hamburgers for dinner and we spent the rest of the night talking about how life has been since we’d last seen each other. After his wife got home we played a few games of ninja (I won’t take the time to explain but if you don’t know and want to, ask me sometime). I won! After that we talked a bit longer and then went to bed.

Today was more calm, but it was a nice break from all the action. North Carolina is almost a beautiful, there are still trees everywhere and hot weather throughout the day. And the Pavlacks are extremely kind and loving people, and I’m so glad that the are willing to open up their home to us.

Interesting Observations:

There was a huge random peach while we were driving. The pictures explains it more.

 

Happy mothers day! That’s not really so much of an observation as a proclamation but I think it’ll work okay.

I’m gonna miss Ed and Marty and their dogs. Pitbulls aren’t half as bad as they’re cracked up to be and it was fun playing with them.
