Some things are just ingrained in you. In the years, months, and days leading up to our move to Gatlinburg, I had in my mind myriad things I thought would happen. You get a little funny when you’re on the verge of something important—something big. It takes hold, and in that process, you forget who you are and dream of someone you wish you could be. Reality can be a hard pill to swallow, so I want to talk about the things I have and haven’t realized simply by moving here.
