I must say that the past two days have been absolutely incredible. I've felt like I've been in another world.

Saturday, was spent taking pictures with Shua. We went to Pendleton to photograph the ruins of Tanglewood(once the largest house in the town). It was like stepping back into time. I loved every moment of it. I plan to go back and take more pictures before it is cleared to build the new library. And if you want to see the results of that day...head on over to Fancy Fotos (I'll be posting throughout the week). After that Williamston and then on to the fair for more fun pics!

Today, however, has to go down as the best day of my short life thus far. I can't even begin to capture every moment in this small space, but to say that it was incredible would be an understatement. Church was awesome...a great message on friendship. Then my pixie cohort, Kylie, and I ventured to the mountains of NC. We, of course, got lost...and then found our way again. It felt like the entire day was that of a movie. Each scene of the day fit perfectly with a song that we just happened to be listening to. Perhaps we found our way onto the set of Lothlorien...then stumbled into the Prince of Thieves backdrop. The mist/fog was indescribable. Half way up the mountain we entered the dense fog where we couldn't even see our hands as we stuck them out of the car window. Then we would find ourselves in spots where God chose to open up to the heavens with fall blue sky and fiery leaves. Magical. Even our late, late lunch was perfect. We happened into a cafe to find ourselves being serenaded by a man of his mid-60s and eerily sounding like Tom Waits. Of course he would cover John Mayer's Come Back to Bed. A perfect day that could only be a result of God's perfect timing. I have never seen anything as beautiful as today. Not just the scenery, but every single part. How small I am. It humbles me to know that God loves me enough to give me this day...to call me friend. We are the lucky ones.

Here's to more magical times to come.
