A week in...

Hey guys!
Sorry its been a week or so, I've been extremely busy doing nothing....

So I've been out in Reidsville for a week now and I love it! Granted there's not much going on out here but its nice to just relax.

I left on the 27th of August- That morning was a blur, all I remember is waking up at 3 something am to a text from a friend who lives out here and then getting out of bed (the couch) and piling on my clothes, my sister packed me and left the "bulkiest" clothes out so I could wear them.
At 5 am me and my mom were out the door on our way to LAX to drop me and my life off to go cross country. I get to the airport and the traffic is ridiculous, everyone seemed to be leaving Southwest at the exact same time as me. So I stand in the bag check line (mind you my flight is leaving at 6:20 and its now 5:30) and when I get to the front the lady starts barking at me saying that I'm going to be late and to CUT in front of everyone who is waiting to turn their bags into TSA. So I do just that and then run to the security check line...... that is out the door. I wait for about 15 min in the security check line (its now 5:50) and then run to my terminal. I get to the terminal and nobody is in line to get on the plane, so I give my ticket and walk down the hallway to my future. I get on what seems like a packed plane and finally find a seat in the very back next to a newlywed couple (gross)... I barely made it on the plane.

Once I got to VEGAS everything was good. But needless to say that morning added a very stressful mood for the whole rest of the day.

So now that I'm in North Carolina I have fallen in love and yes I miss California, I don't think I ever want to go back to live. The people out here are legitimately nice, they all seem to have a genuine opinion on how to solve issues, and they just hang out all the time. My kinda life.

My nephews first child was born sometime last week... I am now not only an aunt, but a great-aunt at that. My sister and daddy went and met little Belle and I got pictures -_-

Saturday should be a good day- I am supposedly hanging out with a friend (a long time coming) and my uncles son and his wife (and their two kids) are coming in for 4 days. 

That's all for now.

For those of you in California, I love you and just remember... I'm doing this the Reidsville way:)

Lets go.

So, I have to make a disclaimer... I'm a terrible writer. I flunked writing in high school so setting high standards for this will probably leave you sadly disappointed.

My name is Elizabeth. I'm 21 years old and I live in Reidsville, North Carolina.. Well technically I don't live there, yet. But as of Tuesday the 27th at 5:35pm when I touch down I will be a resident there.

My sister and I thought it ideal to look up Reidsville on the internet.. So we turned on our computers and typed in Reidsville, North Carolina, to our surprise and excitement there was a town website. We were overjoyed! We clicked on one link after the other and with every click we got more and more excited about all the outdoor festivities and town functions that they had! (concerts in the park, fairs, pig races to name a few) We were lost in the world of Reidsville when all of a sudden, much to our dismay, we realized the town website hadn't been updated since like 2007...... so it looks like those concerts and fairs, etc. were way over and I had missed them by 8 years.

Enough about that for now.

Today was my last Friday in Southern California, you know what I did? Went to the dentist and dyed my sisters hair in the kitchen....
Btw for all you out there, I am a cosmetologist in my mind so I use my family as my guinea pigs and tell them I know what I'm doing... ;) Just kidding, I went to school for it... for a month.....
What was I saying..? Oh yeah, I dyed my sisters hair. I forwarned her I needed Vaseline for her hair line so I didn't dye her face but clearly based on her face now, she didn't have any.

All while I'm doing her hair (in the kitchen) my mom is sitting 15 feet away plucking away at her harp, you see my mom works at a university by day and is a rock star by night. She can pretty much out shine anyone on the piano and shes getting there on the harp.

Tomorrow night is Brad Paisley with my sister.... and her friend.....Should be an amazing concert, too bad I don't know any of his music and I have to sit by myself in a complete different section on the other side of the ampitheater. Guess I can't complain since I invited myself 30 seconds ago. Thankfully there were still tickets available the day before the concert... clearly it will be good. -_-

Did you know that if you shove your brush into your cheek it leaves dots on your face according to my sister.
Tomorrow during the day is a regularly scheduled ear mite check for the cats. Or cars. Depending on what your iphone autocorrects it too.

But anyway, this is the first of many posts for me... hopefully it will get better. If not and your still following me, thanks!
Let's go on the journey together.
Wish me luck people, I'm doing it the Reidsville way!
