Smoky Mountains need a nicotene patch

Midterm Break was this weekend.

That's right....our semester is HALF over.

Sweet Moses it's going by fast!

We hit up the Smoky Mountains to do some camping. That place is beautiful.

Here are some STANDout slash OUTstanding memories:

This is Jacque Liles (also known as Jacque Chan). We met in class, and it was soon determined that we are meant to be friends. She's a fellow free spirit. I had the privilege of camping with her and her family for the weekend.
Remember: Little Mermaid, Citizen Cope, Camper, Funny Dogs, Falling...chair/fence...oh the irony





This is Eli.
Belongs to Justin Jones.
Wish he belonged to me.






We drove the 11 mile loop around Cades Cove,


looking for wildlife and enjoying the outdoors.....




in a convertible and the back of a truck.


Entertainment of choice? Throwing things to each other.




This is Justin Jones. He was our self proclaimed tour guide for the duration. He decided to give us the whole history of the "Cades" Family. Complete with their starch and sugar addictions, cow slaughtering insulin factory, marijuana farms, lost sons, and happy trees.






Played some sweet
tackle football in the fields.







Thoughts on Fire:

-Hair still smells like it
-Melted two pairs of shoes
-The very CORE of camping
-Burn your marshmallows to charcoal. It's the only way.






Guys.
Fall is beautiful here.
God is so good.
