Lake Lure, NC

Some pictures from Amanda's and my trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. We definitely had the time of our lives... :)

This is where they filmed "Last of the Mohicans"! Does this waterfall look familiar?? [Spoiler alert!] It's where that one girl throws herself off the ledge.





Amanda and me with a little bit of the Blue Ridge Mountains behind us.




At the resort where we stayed.


And now, the Dirty Dancing Sequence...

Johnny's Cabin


Penny's Cabin


Dancing on the bridge (on the way to the lake where they practiced the lift)


"I carried a watermelon?"


1-2-3 Cha-cha-cha!


"Oh Silvia? Yes, Mickey??"


Nobody puts Carly in a corner


Go ahead and say it; I know you're thinking it anyway. "Carly, you're a freak". I KNOW! But I'm a fun freak. Amanda and I had the best time, and I'm already looking forward to next year's trip.

So long!

I'm Moving On

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found a fine strength in my moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself...

I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long

I'm movin on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up right where I belong

I'm movin on

I'm movin on
At last I can see
Life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know
there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone

There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road


I'm movin on...
I'm movin on.
