The Final Day

Image
Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! I can’t believe it but the final day in this month long trip has come. The end has come. The final church visit and final RV ride has come. I can’t believe it. I know it all happened yesterday but still, it has come. Buckle up, for my last post of my month long trip! So naturally of course, my dad spoke at a church yesterday. A church in Belleville, Pennsylvania. I was severely struggling to focus during his talk because I had heard it so often. This church provided two services and during the first service, I sat in on the 11th and 12th grader’s Sunday school and then during the second service, I only sat through half of the 9th and 10th grader’s Sunday school and then went to listen to my dad speak. I love hearing my dad give sermons, but I prefer when they are new. It was a good sermon though, I think lots of people enjoyed his sermon. I saw a lady in between services who was just so inspired by what my dad said about missions. She said she loved the way h...

Birthday Girlllll

Image
 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! So, I know I haven't said it much but today is my birthday. I mentioned it a couple of times before but I never really highlighted it. But yeah today was my birthday and at first, I was pretty glum cause it didn't feel like my birthday but my parents set up the GREATEST surprise ever.  So my parents started driving at 5:00 AM, guys I think their goal is to kill me with early mornings during the end of this trip. "Aw how did your daughter die?" DEATH BY EARLY MORNINGS, THAT HOW!!! But anyway, I woke up about three hours later and we only had three and half hours left. Okay so here I was, staring out the window most of the drive. You know, just listening to music. Then we pulled into the parking lot of the church. I saw a car with some balloons out the top and I said something really dumb cause I was still oblivious but then when we parked next to the car and THERE THEY WERE. My face changed dramatically and I rapidly got out of the car to gi...

Nothing out of the Ordinary

Image
 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Okay, I'm being so repetitive that I'm annoying even myself. But seriously, I did nothing today. Absolutely, nada. I rode for what? eight hours in a car? I'll find something to write about like usual though.  Okay, like I mentioned yesterday.....TODAY IS MY SISTER'S BIRTHDAYYYY!!! I'm so happy for her right nowwww!!! Naturally, the second I woke, I told her happy birthday. I love her so much, she's so amazingggg! During our driving, we stopped in the town my sister lives in to surprise her with lunch. We went to a Mexican restaurant and, naturally, I got a taco salad. The waiter was really nice about making sure everything was dairy free and he made the joke that I was paying when he came with the check. Guys I'm so broke, I couldn't have paid if I wanted to! After surprising Lydia, my dad checked her tires and then it was back on the road again! I'm gonna be completely honest with all of you.....I watched Trolls Band Toge...

Only Three Days Left!

Image
Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! I know I am being repetitive in my introductions but honestly, today was boring. Again. We drove like seven hours? Maybe eight? My point is, we drove a ton today. Today did include something though. You know that feeling when you look up at something really tall and it feels like it’s gonna come crashing down onto you? You do? Great. Today included that feeling. So before we drove the seven or eight hours to wherever we are in Illinois, we stopped at a GIANT cross. So this is when that feeling comes in, I stood up next to the cross and it got wobbly and looked like it would fall on me! That feeling always makes me almost dizzy. But anyway, so the cool thing about this cross is that there were paths that directed you to other monuments. The other monuments walked you through the redemption of Christ and then also the death and Resurrection of Christ. It was really cool and my favorite section was a section where you have a piece of chalk and there were two cem...

The Second To Last Church

Image
 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Okay, I know for the past couple of days I've been saying, "Today is really boring! How am I gonna entertain you all???" But today, that is very true. I don't know how I am going to be able to entertain you all today. Like honestly, I did nothing today....I sure hope I figure it out. So this morning was surprisingly....calm. Usually I get woken up to my parents getting ready to drive away. But this morning, I got woken up to....I don't know. I just woke up. Which hasn't happened a lot throughout this trip. I usually get woken up by my parents or some noise. That is a nice change. I can't wait for my cocoon room though. I kid, it's not a cocoon but you all get my point. So after I woke up, we didn't leave right away, which was also weird. I guess we didn't have to desperately get anywhere. It was unusually calm and I loved it! Do you guys realize how exhausting it is to always be moving??? Yes I'm a nomad but the ...

Sweet Home.....Oklahoma?

Image
 Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was a long day of, guess what? You got it, driving. Honestly, the further we get into the week, the more I wonder how am I gonna entertain you all. I'm sure I'll figure it out....eventually. Hmmmm, I know! I shall embarrass my best friend cause I know he reads this. TODAY IS HIS BIRTHDAYYYYY!!!! He's so old now....I kid but still. I hope he had a great day and that his friends at school embarrassed him too. He would be tortured if we went to the same school. He's probably thankful we live in different states....and I'm homeschooled. But anyway!  Today was like any other day. I woke up to my parents getting ready to drive like usual. But instead of falling back into blissful sleep, I stayed awake. Why does my body torture me??? Anyway. We drove about an hour and a half to this place called Cadillac Ranch. It has ten Cadillacs that were buried halfway underground. Only the tail end of the Cadillacs stick out of the ground. The group o...

Driving, Driving, More Driving

Image
Hello fellow Homo Sapiens! Today was contradicting. One part was long and full of driving and then we had a section of fun and exploration and then we went back to driving. I'm gonna be completely honest with everyone, I have no clue where the heck I am. I think maybe Texas? Anyway! I'm going to write about my brother....without his permission....I know I'm a rebel. So this morning, my parents left at like seven am, I think they were out to get me, again. But I slept til nine while they drove. When I woke up, Zane talked my ear off! When people meet us, it always appears that I'm the talker and Zane is quiet. Well that was not this morning. The two of us also get asked if we are a couple or twins. People never just think we are siblings. AND to top it all off, they always think he's older just cause he's taller. But anyway! He was very chatty this morning when I woke up. He described it as he was talking and I was just saying "uh-huh, hmmm, m-hmm" but ...
