Made it!

So I finally arrived in Richmond, Virginia! I must say I don't care to make that drive ever again. It took 32 hours to get here from Texas, only because of the rebellious mattress we had strapped to the top of the SUV. It's normally a 23 hour drive. But, I'm here and in 1 piece... and exhausted. Va is beautiful. The trees are all green, orange and yellow and there's so many different kinds. We passed miles of rolling hills and the cutest houses scattered everywhere. We went through a small town called Salem. It reminded me of the town from the movie Hocus Pocus... it was so tiny, it took us 10 minutes to drive through it. I'd love to live there but it's 4 hours from the town I'm staying in right now. I think I will learn to love it here. Right now, I'm laying here a little terrified because I know there's no turning back now but I am determined to make it here. I will make a new, happy life for myself.
