Why Peak to Whee

Peak to Whee, why such a name. I grew up in Downtown Apex, known as the peak of good living and to this day I live 10 minutes from that little downtown street and still find myself there almost every weekend, walking past the caboose that my brother and I would walk to every friday night after dinner with my parents. Driving past the hill where I learned to roller skate, or the old corner of the neighborhood where for all of Kindergarten I would wait at the bus stop with my parents. That little town became more than a place of living and community for the past 18 years, but a place that was always brought up in stories when I would talk of my childhood. I tell people I grew up in the best place where I always had something to do whether it be ice cream at the parlor, festivals or decorating our bikes for Fourth of July

So back to the reason I have decided to go with Peak to Whee. Right now it's Sunday August 4, 2013 and in just a matter of days, AKA the 10 of August I will be in the small mountain area Cullowhee, better known as the Whee. 

Meet my sweet sweet roommate Lizzie (left) she is kind hearted, with a a love for the Lord that is so inspiring, I can't go a single day without nearly crying from laughter in any conversation Lizzie and I have. I am so thankful that we were brought together to experience our first year of college together.
Meet Sophie (right), she is a free spirit who loves to meet new people and knows how to make the most out of anything she puts her mind to.
I cant wait to have them with me this coming year, not only as a roommate and hall mate, but also as two of my best friends who I know will be a part of the many memories I have from college. 

I want this blog to be a way for my family, friends and whoever finds my blog to fully experience through my stories what is happening through these next years of my life. I'll be hours away from the people I love most but distance is only a measurement. and wherever the Lord, college, or life in general takes me I want you all to be along for the ride. A great friend of mine said to me once, "You can walk anywhere, it might just take longer to walk where you want to go".

So no matter the distance and the length of time it takes to get where I belong, come with me through this blog and the pictures I take and see where this journey takes me.
