Tenn, Evansville Indiana, and West Virginia

Tour life. I never expected to actually understand the saying, I forget what state I'm in. It really is easy to forget what state we are in, and what state we were in the day before.

We were supposed to have a day off today however, the director of the corps decided we need to work today. As if we don't work enough. Or don't need a day off. Tomorrow we work all day, from 7:15am-late that night. Sounds like a fun b-day if I do say so myself.

Tenn isn't so bad to be in, we have finally gotten out of the rain. The storms are ridiculous in these parts of the country. one minute its 100 degrees the next second its stormy and we are getting rained on. lame.

I liked being in Indiana for some reason. I could have done without West Virginia, when we were driving to the Venue, I made some comment about wanting to see people from the back woods without teeth and in overalls. I never really expected to get my wish.

The housing site we stayed at was at a school that morning had other kids staying there. the "world changers" while taking a shower I overheard some conversations by these kids.

"you know that band camp that is here, the girls shower naked isn't that disgusting?"

girl to me:" are you with the band camp?"
me to girl: "its not a band camp they are the reigning world champion drum corp, and they are on tour"
girl: " do they really sleep in the same room with boys and girls?"
me to girl: "yeah?"
girl: blank stare full of judgment

so I ask the girl "what is world changers?"
girl: "we help fix houses and talk about jesus"

rat.

welcome to west Virginia.

I drove last night to Maryland, ok well 300 of the 400 miles we traveled last night. I own driving with a trailer. I've been accepted into the drivers club even though I'm a girl. This morning as we pulled up to the site, I found out that after we switched drivers, the drum bus broke down, and that the Food truck got stopped at a weigh station. Lame! So we were missing almost half of our convey. Crazy!

I'm gonna get up and get going.

oh psi. If you've tried to call my phone is being ridiculous. It won't charge so I need to find a Verizon wireless.

One love,
