Bonfire Goodtimes :)

Pretty much all my life I have lived in Small Town Friendly, Rutherford, North Carolina. When I was younger I used to think I cannot wait to get out of this town. There is nothing to do, no where to go, and nothing really that great to eat!

So on came my senior year of high school and I got accepted to a college in Charlotte. At the time I thought  this is my chance. My one way out. I am getting out of here and never coming back.

I lived in Charlotte for almost two years. Now, I am not going to say I hated it, because I loved all the great food around, I loved being able to go to the mall which was only 15 minutes down the road, and I loved having a Starbucks in walking distance. It was my heaven, only I was missing one or two things. All of my family and real friends lived back home, and there was no guys to be found in Charlotte that had the same values, and morals like where I came from.

So I moved back home. I was highly depressed for a little bit, but one day I got up and said this is where I am at and this is what I have to deal with. So I called the only person that I knew that still lived here and told him I was back in town and we needed to hang out ASAP. He told me he was having a bonfire and I should come down. I remember getting there and thinking...this is really heaven. It was calm, the stars were beautiful and it was a really really good time. I can remember saying to myself, there is something to do in this town :)

So a few weeks ago we had a bonfire at our house and looking at all these pictures made me think of that first night when I experienced my first bonfire, and how I felt and how I would have never imagined in a million years that that first bonfire would let me reconnect with my now Husband :)
