These Days Were Made for Preppin'...

...and that's just what they'll do.

Its official - we leave a week from yesterday and we don't have a single solid plan. We know we have to get to DC for Holly's cousin's wedding on June 10th. Between next Wednesday (May 16th) and then we will be driving around the country with several purposes in mind. 1. Have an adventure 2. Experience God's beautiful creation 3. Enjoy the last month before becoming real adults and entering the workforce. There are several National and State parks that we are committed to seeing, and our route will be dictated by those points. We bought a big map a while ago that is now littered with colored arrows pointing out both the places we desire to visit and the people we might stay with along the way. Our goal is to stay in only one hotel room - our night in Vegas to celebrate Holly's birthday. Besides that we will be camping and couch surfing. We pray for the Lord's hand to be on this trip - not only for the sake of coming back in one piece, but in hopes of having a wild experience full of unexpected encounters with our Father and His creation. May the planning be His task and not mine.
We plan on updating this blog regularly along the way so that our friends can keep up with the trip and so that we can remember the trip for years to come. We welcome your prayers for the trip. We are planning to listen to the entire Bible on mp3 while we drive, to use the trip as a Prayer Journey of sorts in seeking the Lord for ourselves and praying for God's will and presence to come in this nation, and to be real with people we encouter along the way about our lives and our God. We welcome your prayers toward the trip - for revelation through God's Word, unity and loving sisterhood between the two of us, and for the Lord to use us during this time.
Thanks for reading and for caring. And now back to prepping.
