the trek to kinston.

the morning after our engagement party, we woke to a breakfast of coffee, 
snickerdoodle cake, & living room conversation. it was moving day.

with visions of the previous night's fete fresh in my mind, as well as a series of teary-eyed goodbyes, i climbed into the passenger's seat of the 4runner & prepared myself for the 17-hour trip that lay before us.


highlights of the trip included five guys burgers, beautiful scenery, sentimental 
mix tape cds from years past, & a stay in our beloved greenville, south carolina.

and while the stretch on i85 between charlotte & raleigh was blustery & 
seemingly interminable, we finally pulled up at RDU to retrieve justin's tahoe.

a hop, skip, & rural jump later, we were pulling into kinston & having dinner at east coast wings.

if only my bags could unpack themselves... my belongings have exploded all over our apartment.

here's to new beginnings & the promise of adventure!

When I go to Five Guys for lunch, I'm totally blaming it on this blog post. :) xoxo!

What an awesome way to trace your journey, Lauren! Loved these pictures of the cities you passed along the way!! I want to see pics of your new place! (Sorry if that came off as totally creepy!)

the back and forth.

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
