Portland/Seattle, you treated me well.
I am so thankful to have been able to take this trip. I saw so much and really learned a lot about myself. It was very eye opening and over the 29 hour drive out there, I realized how much I feel Ive been missing out on. Wisconsin will always be my home state yet I cant shake the feeling that I need to escape, get out. Portland really stole my heart in more ways than one. The city was beautiful, the people were, well, eccentric. The entire place had such a pulse to it. Every street corner a new surprise. I am also SO very thankful that I got to experience it all with my boyfriend. Some may call me crazy and some may think I am out of my mind but I say, let them. The five days I was able to have with him was more than I could have asked for. One long deployment to come and then he will be back in the states and I will be no longer waiting.
ANYWAYS, as I have said before, take that trip. Leap into the uncharted and put yourself out there. You wont regret it if you go into it with positive thoughts and looking to learn. Its a trip I will never forget. 2012, you sure have started off great.

I’ve been terrible at updating and keeping everyone up to speed on how my adventure has been going. After my evening catching a few Zs in my car I pounded out a 19 hour straight drive, putting me at my destination across country in a mere day and a half. How I did it, I don’t have a clue. Since arriving I have explored the colorful streets of Portland, have done quite a bit of people watching, and sucking down some IPAs at some awesome places along with fantastic company. I will be back.
Oh yeah,
I didn’t realize how cold it got at night in this area. Windows frosted and I’m huddled up like a burrito (face and all) submerged into this blanket in my makeshift ‘car bed’.
Car Camp?
I just woke up in my car from a few hour sleep. I knocked out ten hours of driving last night. I was able to stay from nodding off and also proove Deno wrong, I can to drive ten hours. ;) I am about an hour from Montana and not sure how far from Portland. I’ve been making fantastic time so far.
Now breakfast and back on the dusty trail…
And I’m about to take off… Enjoying some time up north with the family before I get headed on the road. What an adventure I have in store! Traveling alone cross country and living out of my car for a couple days usually would have made me much more nervous a few years back. I’ve opened my mind and opened myself to more adventure lately and it has only brought good things and great experiences. Go explore! You won’t regret it.
