Mt. Carmel

In an hour, Joshua will get home from work, we'll load up my suitcase, and drive two hours to the airport in Anchorage. I then will fly for 12 hours to finally make it to

Mt. Carmel!

 

I've been looking forward to this for some time now. Ever since we moved, I knew I would visit in the summer. It is bittersweet leaving though since I just got back to living with Joshua and things still feel "new" to us. I'm not ready to leave him again, but I am ready to see all my family and friends!

 

Here are the things I'm most ready to do in my hometown:

 

>> Snuggle and hug and kiss all over my nephews.

 

>> Eat some Taco Tierra

Helloooo Nacho Supreme!

 

>> Take some walks down College Drive

 

>> Definitely need a new hair do from my Aunt Ros

 

>> Can't wait to see all of my best girls

 

>> Super excited to share in my best friend's wedding day

Ah! So soon, Katelyn Casburn Johnson!

 

>> Munch on some catfish

We have so many types of fish here, but I've been missing some fried catfish!

 

>> Share some laughs with my sister

 

>> Meet up with one brother since he is only coming down on the 7th

Hence why I'm going home so early

 

>> Spend some quality time with my younger brother

Can't wait, Granters!

 

>> Did I mention Taco Tierra?

 

>> Hang out with some long lost friends I haven't seen or talked to in awhile

 

>> Ride bicycles with my mama

 

>> Relax in some rocking chairs on my mom's front porch

 

>> Watch the sunset at a reasonable time

At least not as late as midnight like it is here!

 

>> Obviously eat some sweet corn

 

>> And just enjoy every minute I'm there, because I'm not sure when I'll be back!

 

This trip is definitely going to be a great time. And because of that, I am probably not going to be on here as often as I am now. This blog has been all about Alaska, but be prepared to see some Illinois goods every once in awhile these next two weeks! See ya soon, Illinois!
