Road Trip Update: DAY 3 (Matt)

We are ALIVE! is amazing, i would have thought that we would have been super tired of this by now, but everything is different or at least it changes every few hours or so..(mountains, desert, rocks, cities, small towns.) its been really cool though, i love being out here, Currently we are in SLC and spending some time reading and writing and just relaxing. we gotta make it to Denver tonight, but we have time, Justin (my college roomate) gets off work at like 11 or something so we will make it into town later than sooner, but we have met some nice people, and joined up with good friends along the way so far and are looking forward to what is to come. Its only day three... we got a lot of time and road ahead of us!

HI-ways and BYE-ways

In November of 2008 Matt called me up one night and asked me if I would ever want to take a long trip with him in the future. By the end of the conversation we had planned this excursion: a six week road trip around the U.S. with no specific destinations in mind, just drive and stop and go as we please.
After months of freaking out and realizing we had to have some sort of a plan so we would not die, we are leaving June 28th on a sunday morning to spend the next six weeks driving from state to state until sometime in August. With a small budget, a blue Honda Civic, and multiple experiences traveling together, Matt and I are ready to set out on what we think will be a trip full of "the stories we'll tell when we're old." 
Please enjoy keeping up with our travels as we update it with pictures, videos, and new fun stories from all that God has us encounter through our summer.
