from ville to shining ville

Last month I had the pleasure of taking my sister Kendra back to school. She flew into Nashville, hung out for the week, then we drove up to Greenville. In the five hours it takes to get there we:

passed an army truck and an old MiniCooper on the back of a tractor trailer, twicesaw lots of straight, flat road ahead of usmade silly faces

feared for our lives as we watched these girls dancing while driving:

and laughed at me and my crazy hiccups:

There was another video that I thought I took but apparently didn't actually record.
Needless to say, we had fun on our road trip.

Soap sistas til the end

Here it is Jess...

Ok, so I'm not totally settled yet but here is a glimpse of what my apartment looks like. Please excuse the mess...

It's tiny but it works :)
Once I've got everything in its place I will post more photos.

A week of M's

It has been a busy summer. Things are finally starting to wind down, sorta. This past week was a busy one! And I think this week is going to be even busier. You see, since my good friend Jessie has moved to South Korea, I have been in the process of trying to find a different apartment. Long story short- I found a very small, very "Heather" apartment in downtown Franklin. My mom came last week to help me begin the move. I starting packing and cleaning last Monday. Friday was the official "move the furniture and anything else heavy/big day." With then help of some pretty awesome people (thanks guys!!!!!), all of my furniture was in my new apartment by 8:30 Friday night (which is saying somthing since I have so much furniture.) Saturday Mom helped me take a few more loads over in my car. We got everything but the kitchen, bathroom and my shoes (I have big feet and a lot of shoes). I had hoped to finish things up on Sunday but two things prevented that from happeining. One- mom went home so it was back to just me (thanks for all the help Mom!!). Two- an all day meeting. What meeting, you ask? Well, the reason things have been so busy lately and are about to get busier (besides moving) is because the Middle School Fall Retreat is this weekend (which you should come to if you are a ClearView middle schooler!!!). So after church on Sunday was spent in a Leader meeting and visit to Camp Widjiwagan (where our retreat is going to be).
All this to say, I've been slacking on my blogging as of late. And to make things worse, I have yet to get any photos of my new place (sorry Jessie). Photos are coming, I promise. But in the mean time, here's a little video for your viewing pleasure.
