Let's see, as you can tell it's been a bit since the last I wrote anything. No, I haven't been lost in Vietnam for almost three years. On the contrary, I've been in the bustling city of Atlanta, trying out that thing in life some call a career. It has been an interesting ride and an opportunity that has let me grow and acquire skills and knowledge I never would have gained or at least taken me much longer to learn.

I enjoy living in different states, countries and continents. Georgia is a great place but I never envisioned myself staying there longer than one year, and I made it two and a half. All chapters come to a end at some point and this girl has been a vagabond wandering about Florida for two months now! After resigning from my position, I have been lucky enough to relax and break from my previously hectic life.

My next step as far as a career goes is undetermined, but my next adventure is signed and sealed. The opportunity came my way to go on a road trip around the states with my friend, Sami Orme. These chances don't come around often, as I have had this trip in the back of my mind for a lonnnngg time! I feel like this is just a rite of passage journey as an American and something everyone should do.

Start Date: I fly to L.A. May 30th to meet up with Sam
Trip Length: Up to 3 months
Plan? Kinda, but really just going with the flow
Sleeping Digs: Family, Friends, Camping, Motels
Mission: To live life, meet some amazing people, hopefully able to be an ambassodor with Reddy2Fight, take in some sweet scenery, and be happy

Jackets in July

Next stop was a little-known town in western Massachusetts called Easthampton. It’s downtown blocks were quaint yet trendy. I’d actually been there years prior for a July 4th river float but few landmarks stood out as much of the area is wooded. We went to reunite with my gal pal from LA, Alexis. We stayed at her and her boyfriend’s house in a little 2nd story guest loft. We made ourselves dinner and drank some craft beers before hitting the town. Alexis works locally and seemed to know everybody so we were treated well and probably over served. No complaints there.

Trucking to Toronto

At this point we were about ½ way through the trip, schedule wise, but not distance wise. We’d been finding places we liked a lot along the way and staying an extra day or two here and there, and it was starting to add up. If we wanted to hit all the remaining planned stops we were going to have to stay on track.

Farm Funk Hoedown

We made it to Michigan around July 15th and I'd say we are making some speedy progress through this country of ours. After staying in Chicago with Sami's family we trekked over to Michigan to pop in on my Aunt Lisa. I'm excited to stay with her and see life living on a farm... basically in the middle of nowhere. I rarely get to see my mother's side of the family because we are all so spread apart but it's nice to take some time and make sure we get to catch up :)

Getting down in South Dakota

Leaving Denver we decided to head over to Chicago via South Dakota. We originally planned on shooting over through Nebraska but after a... very short brain storm, we decided to throw that plan out the window.. far ..far out the window.

Reddy2Fight

We have been honored to be somewhat of ambassadors for the Reddy2Fight Foundation throughout our trip around the states. This foundation is near and dear to our hearts as the inspiration for the foundation is our very best friend, Krissy Reddy's, beautiful and bubbly son Liam. A bit of a more in depth description about the foundation can be found on one of our previous blogs, Our Little Superhero.

Colorado Part 1

Ft Collins, CO & RMNP

After our last day in Jackson, WY consisting of rest and errands we were ready for the next leg of our journey and one that I personally had been very excited about for several reasons. Colorado had always been a place I wanted to explore more, as there is just SO much to do there and so many little towns and cities to discover. It was also the first stop in a place that I had originally put in the top 3 running for “Places I might move to” (following the trip). On top of all that, I would meet Alejandro, a guy I had been speaking to for many months and never had the opportunity to see face-to-face.

Wyoming Bound!

Following several nights in Glacier National Park without showers or beds, we were stoked to meet up with some of our best friends from High School who all live in a house together in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Al, Jer, Tree and Graves share a bachelor pad in the foothills of the Grand Tetons.
