Max Patch

Today after church, Justin and I took our first 'hike' as Ashevillians with Joelle and Joseph. We drove about an hour through Marshall and Hot Springs to Max Patch. Max Patch is part of the Appalachian Trail and has a beautiful 365 degree view and lots of wildflowers. It was simply beautiful, despite the clouds. We look forward to many more hikes, mountains and curvy roads!

Here are some pics from our excursion:

Trail to the top.

Me and the Hubs.

Joseph. Joelle. Me.

There were Japanese Beetles all around.
Justin actually started talking Japanese to one! What a jip!

In other news, Justin and I are settling into our new home. We have everything unpacked! All we need to do is hang our pictures (which Justin is not looking forward to) and that is also why I have not posted pictures yet. Justin has started his job. He is finishing his training this week and then is all full rotation for the mobile crisis team. I have been keeping myself busy with Zumba (birthday present from J) and cooking dinner. Yeah, not too much! I have enjoyed having some down time, but I feel like this is the week when I will start getting antsy and need to be doing something. I have been applying to jobs like crazy. Please pray that something opens up soon!!
