What All Good Things Must Do

I'm crazy stoked and utterly deflated all at the same time.

As anyone who has ever experienced any happiness in their life knows, at some point, it must come to an end. But I must say that if I were any more excited about what's to come, I would certainly wet my pants with elated fervor.

I don't think your ready for this jelly, this plan I'm about to reveal to you (not my butt), but here it is...

On or around October 15th of this year, Arlo, Damascus, and I will be road tripping once again across the states to return to our roots in PA/NJ.

We're excited to come back, but terribly sad to leave our beloved city of Portland, OR. I won't go into all the reasons right now, but I can say I will live here again someday. The biggest thing pushing us to move along is because it's hard to see the world by sitting in one place. Which brings me to another part of the plan...

BUT FIRST!!!

I think this would be easier to understand if I made bullet points...


  • Road trip back to PA/NJ via the southern route through the states.
  • Consume lots of pizza, Dunkin Donuts iced coffee, WaWa/Quick Chek sandwiches, cheese steaks, and other delectable, dearly missed favorites
  • Catch up with family & friends
  • Get full time jobs that pay more than $9 an hour and have OT opportunities
  • Spend more time working than sleeping/eating and make bank $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
  • Work until May, and then fly to Australia with a six month work visa
  • Find work and live in Australia for 6+ months!!
  • Make more  $C$A$S$H $M$O$N$E$Y$
  • Spend cash money on exploring Europe/other parts of the world yet unseen


Anything beyond that is still a bit beyond me. We would both like to go back to college. Honestly, I can see us owning our own business someday. Like, a dinner theater or something. Who knows! There's still too much exploring to do before we start putting down some deep roots again. 

I'll go into detail later about why we're doing this, what we'll miss, what we're looking forward to, our trip itinerary, when we expect to be back, blah, blah, blah! 


So excited. 

So sad.





Closing time. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
