Well if you plan to motor west
Just take my way it's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
~ Route 66 by Chuck Berry
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope your work week is going well so far! It's nice to be home and settling back into the norm after a drama-filled weekend with the fam.
While I was out of town this weekend Molly and I had a great talk about finding the balance between being practical, and yet not giving up on our dreams at this delicate time of our lives, and it made me realize something. I want to travel. I've wanted to for years, but lately I've been trying to stuff the idea down because it seemed so impossible. But now... now I have a plan.
I'm currently saving up for a pickup truck that I hope to get by the end of the year (prayers much appreciated!) after that I'm going to dive head first into saving up for a vintage trailer - another of my teenage-long dreams, and after I get that, I hope to have it in working order and have enough money saved up for a trip along the course Route 66 took: all the way from Chicago out to L.A.. It's been a dream of mine for years and I don't want to get married and settle down without being able to say that I at least tried to make that trip happen. How sad would that be?
So that's my plan, and I'm really excited! I know it's kind of a long shot, but I'm going to do my best to make it happen! Life's no fun if we can't dream, right?

I love your dress and of course your Doctor Who shoes :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's okay to dream, i'm definitely saying yes to traveling. I'm going to Greece this summer with one of my best friends and i'm so looking forward to it :)
I would love to do Route 66 but for a European girl like me it's quite expensive so i'll shall have to save some money.

Amazing dress! I love how unique and fun it is.
ReplyDeleteI want to do a US road trip, only along route 50. I've currently driven a lot of it, and I don't think I can do it all in one trip, but I'm aiming to get Ocean City to Cincinnati done soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE how you can pull off chucks with dresses so well. I can't do it anymore.
You are so darn cute. Seriously. How do you take a denim jacket and Converse and look like the sweetest thing on earth? Genius! Oh, and your hair is flawless. Following you now!
ReplyDeleteMay the force be with you.
