Short update to my college life so far. 1st of off, I'm loving college. Liberty University is the bomb, and the community I'm in here is incredible. 2nd, I've had the chance to go hiking on two separate trips, once with a bunch of MK friends and once with my dad. There's just something about being in nature that is so good and refreshing for the soul.
"The mountains are calling and I must go." - John Muir
The first hike was with my friends up to Sharp Top, a mountain with an amazing view from its peak. The second hike was with my dad to Mt. Pleasant, which is one of the most beautiful areas I have been to so far in Virginia. Seeing God's creation up close and personal has made me so thankful for life and where He has currently put me. Also, the fact that it is autumn and all of the trees' leaves are beginning to change colors makes everything that much more magical.
Here are some of my favorite photos from both hikes:
The peak on the left is Sharp Top.
This is one of my greatest friends, Sam. We go way back.
One of my favorite shots from the hike up Sharp Top. This is my friend Rich.
This is the group of friends that I went up Sharp Top with. We got up that morning to see the sunrise. I have never seen a more beautiful sunrise in my life!
Those COLORS!
I think this shot of Rich is super cool.
Friends, good times, smiles and laughter - this is community.
My dad! This was part of the other hike I went on, just the two of us (father and son), up to Mt. Pleasant.
For some reason I just like taking photos of my boots after a long hike. On the left is a photo at the peak of Sharp Top and on the right is one at the peak of Mt. Pleasant.
Such a truly amazing view!
Father and son right here.
On the left we've got my gorgeous Olympus film camera that was gifted to me by a great friend, and on the right - that's pretty self explanatory (can you find the moon?).
Nothing greater than sleeping in an ENO! Unless it gets super freezing. However, my dad brought a tent for us to sleep in so it all worked out well.
