My friend Cody started this little Summertime Adventure Group for all our friends staying in Boone that love outside adventures, and we went on our first one today. What a better way to start it than heading over to Hebron?
Crazy story! So, there is a typical entrance that everyone always goes to to get to Hebron off a back road on the parkway. It’s a dirt road that people mostly use just to get to Hebron or a few other locations. There was a state trooper there today saying that he called the tow truck and warned us to move our car or we would get towed. Apparently we couldn’t park there because it’s a “state road.” Seriously? I have been there about 10 other times and have ALWAYS parked there! What the heck?
Well, we called ourselves an adventure group for a reason. Turns out there is a way to get to Hebron by hiking the Boone Fork Trail starting at Price Park. It was about a mile and a half, but we finally got there! And it was well worth it! Here are just a few of the pictures from our adventure today!
Hope everyone is having just as great of a summer as I am!

God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren’t the message,
You are just the messenger.
So, Jenny and I were having a blasty blast this morning in the vortex of the music building - when we should have been practicing - but that’s besides the point.
Anyway, we got on the topic of marriage. No big deal. It’s a natural subject; girls simply like to plan their future wedding. Nothing out of the ordinary. =)
Well, today…I decided I wanted to bypass the whole marriage deal and just go register myself at a nice store because I feel like it…because that’s what I’m most looking forward to if and when I ever get engaged. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? We could simply imagine it: walking into the store…and going wild. I’d grab that scanner and TAKE OFF! Jenny wouldn’t be much of a help either because she would do the exact same thing. The store wouldn’t know what hit them.
I really wanted to go with IKEA, but I know for a fact that all my friends would simply laugh in my face at the thought of buying me a single item from there. Here’s to winning the lottery. I stuck to Belk and Macy’s. I felt like such an old person. I was drooling over kitchen appliances and bathroom decor, but I can’t help it! I want a nice house, danget! I would post some pictures, but Belk is “currently down for maintenance.” BOOOOOOO!!! Oh well. I found pretty stuff. That is all that matters.
So yay for being a materialistic woman. I shall go far in life. To my future husband: I apologize…but at least your house will look nice! =D
What my cup holders look like after Jenny and I have taken a nice trip to Mickey D’s.
