Tonight I find myself still trying to catch my breath and take in all of the beautiful scenery we drove through today. It seems unreal that places like this exist in our country! We have driven through Wyoming, Utah, and most of Nevada and were up close and personal with places that I have only seen in pictures (which, by the way, do no justice to how breathtaking they really are). I know we promised to keep you all updated with pictures of our daily adventures but we are struggling to find the time to fiddle with this blog enough to figure out how to put them up, sorry!
We sleep in Reno, Nevada tonight which is only a stones throw from the California border. As we plan for tomorrow, our move in day, I get more and more excited/nervous/happy/proud/scared/shocked about being a Berkeley resident. The reality of living in this wonderful place instead of vacationing has not set in quite yet but I am starting to realize just how far away I am from all that I have ever known and loved in the midwest. That being said, I am also realizing how incredibly lucky I am to have this opportunity to start a new life with a wonderful man and could not imagine going on this journey at any other time in my life or with any other person in my life.
These are the days we will remember forever.
Hey! So glad you're enjoying the drive out west. My son jokes and one day says it's only a day to get to CA. Another time he'll say it takes two weeks. He's five.
