Rose Hill

When people ask where I am from, I normally just tell
them eastern NC - because not many people have heard of Rose Hill. With a population of less than 2,000 it is your typical small town - no fast food restaurants, no movie theater, no mall, nothing much really. BUT I loved growing up in Rose Hill! Even though it was all I knew I loved it, I love the people and the memories I have of growing up here. When I think about my childhood one of the things that stick out the most is playing outside with Daniel and LB. Our house is surrounded by woods that are full of lots of exciting things - animals, cemetary, deer stands, old vehicles, etc. Every afternoon after school and HW, we would venture out into the woods to find a new place to play and hide. Dad would cut out trails for us to walk, bike, or drive the go-cart through. And everyonce in a while we could talk my mom into letting us sleep out in the woods!
One of my cousins in a real history buff and when he found out that there were some old graves out behind our house he just had to go. So the day after Christmas we all piled on the golfcart and headed into the woods....Daniel and I hadnt been back there in years! It was so fun to drive around and be back in the woods where I spent so much of my time as a little girl. I had forgotten how beautiful it is out there.




Everyone is home for Christmas...can you tell we like Volvo! Our house could be a Volvo Advertisement!
