hey everyone.
It’s Friday night around 7:30pm and I’m getting ready to go to work. I just packed for my hiking trip tomorrow. Some friends and I are going to hike in the Virginian mountains.
This is probably the last mountain I hiked. One of of the last few peaks from the Long Trail in Vermont. I started this trail in 2015 and hiked 252 miles of it. Last summer I went back and did the last 20 with my best friend Alexandra. <3
Tomorrow morning I’m setting off with four lovely ladies to do a four-mile loop that is partly on the Appalachian Trail. Should be some great views tomorrow. And the temperature is a high of only 65 degrees! YESSS I’m so excited. 🙂
I’ve missed the mountains
I’ve missed the woods
I’ve missed the sound of twigs breaking under me
of leaves crunchy
of pine needles muffling my steps
I’ve missed the earthy smell of fresh morning dew that covers the rocks, as steam rises from the bright morning sun
and quiet whisper of the leaves in the trees as a gust billows by slowly and softly
the bubbling brook pours over stones of all different colors and a water bug lands on the surface creating small ripples
each ripple cascades towards the edges of the stream where sweaty hikers have taken off their shoes and socks and dipped their feet in the water to cool off
<3
So tomorrow it’ll be nice to go back out there again. Not that I’ve ever been there or here at all. It’s a first time experience. With a first time group coming together to scale a peak. Five women hiking in God’s beautiful creation. 😀
I’m bringing my tripod to take some legitimate pictures up top 😀 Maybe I’ll post some 😉

On another note. I’ve had some decisions to make regarding working and playing and resting/being responsible. I’m working tonight and REALLY wanted to go dancing last night and tonight but it ain’t gonna happen. Last night my plans fell through because my car broke down and I had to put it in the shop. Which was fine… Instead I got to spend time with cousins and friends which was really nice… and drive a fun rental car 😀 <3
Tonight I have work again and don’t wanna go to bed supah late because I’m hiking tomorrow. I should get up tomorrow at 6:00am because my friends are coming at 7:00am to leave for the trip. Then we’re driving 2.5 hours to get to the spot.
We won’t get home til …. 6pm I’m guessing. Crazy.
So naturally I wanna get home, take a shower, CHILL …. and then my friend has a bday party that I wanna go to.
However.
Someone needs to work tomorrow night for my client. I am praying that someone I will call “P” will do the shift. I am not supposed to. It’s supposed to fall on another lady… but she overbooked herself and made other plans in the evening. Which is crazy, but not my fault!
Anyway. I guess I could do the shift if I did it ….. from 8:30-9:30. It’s just lamesauce cuz the lady we’re helping doesn’t like to go to bed super early… but it isn’t my fault if there’s nobody there to help her and I have other plans?!
Lord, let your will be done.
ANYWAY
Y’all have a WONDERFUL Friday night and weekend. I’ma go head to work.
