The Chevron Rose: The Instas

So, originally we were only suppost to be in Alabama for a mere two weeks, every monday we've said we were going to leave, but every sunday pushed it back another week.

I have to say I couldn't be happier with that decision.

After the walk, i got so depressed... like crying about everything, every memory, every picture, every...everything. Katie and Hailey wanted me to go to school with them and I was actually really scared about it, but the day came where i had planned to go, and by that time I needed to be around people.

The walk was like eating a lot of chocolate, and enjoying it thoroughly... then after the four days of european chocolate eating is over, it's like puking. mental and emotional throw up.

I went to their school, and loved it. i've been homeschooled my entire life (except 5 days in new mexico... but that doesn't count) So public school really, REALLY scares me. I'm in some ways sheltered.

Example... maybe...

Katie, Hailey and I have come to the conclusion that we have no understanding of flirting. like at all. no understanding or way of seeing it when it's happening. we've had a few run-ins with teenage boys, starbucks barista boys, skater boys and what have you. but people have thought we were flirting when we of course weren't. is giggling flirting now? or what about being nice? ugh... any ways. it turned out that the school was not at all what I thought. there are five people in their class, and everyone is nice... and they sing the beatles. like really? we sang yellow submarine the first morning i was there. plus it's not public school... it's private community school, so big difference.

What i'm building up to is the pictures. there is more, but these are the more interesting ones.

p.s. these are not in order at all. because I'm lazy.

Dumpling Fest 2012, Hope, Hailey, Katie and I went to Cracker Barrel, and had a dumpling fest. there were 13 bowls of them on that table. we stuffed ourselves in dough, we went to see
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and cried our eyes out.

Milo and my (weird) worst fear...s. don't ask me why i'm. scared of taxidermy... i have no idea.

Painting and Drinking hot cocoa on a day alone.

Out of the whole room of weird things they decided to label the water bucket. okay...

And this is when we stuffed ourselves with pizza and almost died from excitement.

After The Lumineers... Mellon collie, floating on a cloud sort of day.

Flash back to the first day of the pilgrimage. ready to walk. we did not look as cheery at the end of the day.

Here is the story, their friends, their cute friends, they don't want to marry each other, i think they should. (Sorry Katie)

After going to Chick-fil-a annnnnd Starbucks for the 5th time, looked over the pretty city of Birmingham.

Yeah, we were trying to stop laughing long enough to actually fall asleep, we though Sam could help. he did.

Mushroom hunting at Red Mountain. so fun!

Last minute movie excursion.

Bill was singing about thrifting. have still yet to go.

Today at church the littlest Wolnski coloured with us. she finally sat with me... she said she had to think about it. She also said Jesus looks like a girl and she WOULD NOT draw faces on her brothers because she swore they didn't have any.

So the opening band for The Lumineers was called Paper Bird, and the most attractive member of The Lumineers played keyboard for both bands for that show. after the paper bird's set, he reached down from the stage and handed ME the set list and told me to get it signed. i seriously was shaking so, so, so, so, so, so bad! it was amazing.

We worked up the nerve to give fake names at starbucks, we had to practice not laughing. I was Plum... and the lady said had a cute name.. i felt so bad. i really hope none of them reads Bleubird!
