I just got back from a couple relaxing days up north. I really love it up there. I like to be able to see my mom and grandma, and the country is so beautiful. I really miss it now that I work during the whole summer. I was able to go through all of my stuff and find a few things that I want to take with me to England. One such item is a gold cross that my grandma gave my mom to go on a plane with. My mom gave it to me when I was going to Florida with the band and was going to be on a plane. It is really important to me that I am able to wear it. I know I'm not suppose to take any jewelry of value or anything irreplaceable, but my mom told me it was made to be with people on planes. I'm wearing it damn it! Those people who say not to bring it can bite me!
I also got to walk on up north trails and see an up north sunset at the outlook over some flood waters. Today I went black berry picking with my mom. We got tons of berries, but also got attacked by thorns. Still, fun was had. Afterwords, we went for a dip at Smith lake and had some hot dogs before I had to leave. The air is so fresh up there that I am amazed at how easily I can breathe every time I am there. I feel really refreshed and a lot more calm about leaving next week since I took this mini-vacation.
