its true. I am terrible... none the less... here are some pics from the last week. real thoughts and mental notes coming soon... for now...
I went for a little hike on the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina... like, really little... however... now I have more of an obsession than ever... its a problem. I did figure out on this trip that hiking in TOMS, especially old worn out ones is really, really difficult!

Hiking in flip flops though? I am TOTALLY good at that. In Atlanta there were multiple comments about how fast I move in my havaianas... and I must say... if you've got the gift, embrace it!! Abby and I hiked in the Smokey Mountain National Park in our flip flops... good times.
Butterfly in the park... Carly loves butterflies. A. LOT.

While in Atlanta for the National Youth Worker Convention, Abby and I went to the World of Coke... SO FUN... drank WAY too much soda... especially for someone who NEVER drinks regular soda and hardly ever drinks diet soda. Seriously... not feeling good for a while afterwards... but it was TOTALLY worth it! (Especially since our cushy hotel overlooking Olympic Park was just a block away... good times!)
Before Abby got to Atlanta it was just me hanging out with folks from Sidney. We went to Jamal's for dinner... BEST wings ever. EVER. SOSOOSOSOSOSOSO good... The first of many meals that led to the comment "Why do I do this to myself!" hahahahahahaaha!
And so it was... Atlanta for the convention, Kennesaw to buy TOMS, two REIs in Kennesaw and Asheville, NC, a day in the Smokey MOuntain National Park, a short walk on the AT, lots of ice cream- but not nearly enough, lots of good food, laughter and friends, one really stinky car, way too many pairs of shoes (especially since I only wore my white havaianas the whole time!) OH and inspirations from amazing speakers like Perry Noble and Donald Miller (AMAZING), good worship with the Crowder Band and the house band, and great insights from Walt Mueller, Jon Acuff, and many others.
A good week of travels, an annual tradition I have learned to love.
More thoughts to come....
