 Hannah and FIFE

 This is where we visited the courthouse(where they locked us up)

 Prisoners of Mayberry Jail!

 We headed to Wally's Filling Station to catch a tour in the squad car!

 Gomer's tow truck!

 Here is the car we rode in.

 I just loved the ALL red interior!

 Me and my brother sat up front with our tour guide and driver. My Mom said he looked like an older version of Andy Griffith from the back!

 The house where Andy grew up.

 Back to the Filling Station for,"A bottle of pop."

 The Darlin's truck

 Andy Griffith statue donated by TV LAND!

 My Dad met Thelma Lou!

 Unfortunately, the famous Snappy Lunch was closed for Memorial Day:( So we headed up to the Blue Bird Dinner:)

Lunch was fantastic! Pork chop sandwiches,fries, and hot fudge sundaes!

Changing

I miss being small.

Lately I find myself changing a lot. Things are more real. Problems trouble me more, and joys I experience so much deeper. I had a conversation with my Mother about wishing I was older. She said not to wish it away. I think I'm beginning to see it. I'm getting ready to close a chapter in my life. I will never get this time back. In some ways it is scary, and in others it is exciting. God gave me a beautiful childhood,a beautiful teenhood(is that a word?),and soon(January 25,2014) I will be entering adulthood. Since I'm graduating a year early some of it will come early I suppose. In some ways I feel it already has. Inside I am changing. I can see so much now how God is shaping and molding me into who He wants me to be. Sometimes it hurts,sometimes it's joyful. The long and the short of it is, life is a grand adventure. It has its peaks and valleys,but I wouldn't trade my life for anything. God has a plan for my life. I can't see it,but I know it is there. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. I know this probably has made little sense,but to all of my lovely readers,just remember......God has a plan for you. He is shaping you and molding you. He loves you. Each person is special. You have a place in this world.....

My mom and brother were out there with us too,but I think I would have to sleep with one eye open if I posted pictures of them in their snow clothes;)
Lovely night!
