The Past Year and a Half, Part 2

It took me long enough to get around to this, but I finally have part 2 of the past year and a half . . . So here goes.

Back in the fall, we moved. I think that was the first time I've ever seen my bookshelf empty.


That was quite a strange sight. And my poor books weren't too happy to be off the bookshelf. They tried to escape the boxes. I'd already taped up the boxes, but the next morning, this is what I found:


Needless to say, those boxes got re-taped. They actually stayed that time. The books were the first thing to get unpacked, though. 

Then we got to go to Chattanooga over Savannah and Zachary's fall break, which was awesome. We went to where you can see 7 states from one spot.


We also went through the Fat Man's Squeeze.


We went through the Fairyland Caverns (at my request; being an English major, the fairy tales always interested me). I got pictures of the Cinderella and Snow White fairy tales.




We also got to see Lover's Leap.


They even got me across this bridge, somehow, despite my awful fear of heights. 


It's a swinging bridge, so it was a miracle they got me across it, especially with Dad trying to make it swing more. I also got talked into going on a zipline, which was surprisingly fun. I guess I was pretty brave that day.

I got my first real fall in four years. Out at BYU, there weren't really any trees to change colors. So this was a nice sight.


I must say that I've really missed the beautiful fall that we have here. We also got to carve pumpkins. I just kind of etched a design on mine. It took less time than actually carving the pumpkin, but I think it turned out okay.


Then, in December, we had a regional YSA dance called the Celestial Ball. Here's a picture of me all dressed up for it.


So I guess that gets me caught up.
