T-Minus 11 days. Crap.

Can you believe we leave in 11 days?! Oh my, people! We both are a mix of stress, excitement, and overwhelmed with the current to-do list. I mean, let's be honest, we are slackers! We have been trying to enjoy the company of those we won't see for a long time and the list is just getting l o n g e r and l o n g e r.

But it's okay.

Miraculously, we have managed to really help each other out with out biting each others heads off. While still trying to finish summer school and his last week at work, we've made a great team. On Saturday, I took my Praxis 2 test which is my last and final test to receive my license to teach. This gentleman woke up at 5am just to make me breakfast; it was his day off, too. It's been a nice and fairly smooth planning process. We are 11 days away. Yes, our journey across the world for 5 months is 11 days away.

All of this has brought us so many new topics of discussion. When I was planning my trip to Africa, it was a solo endeavor. Now, I'm expected to share an agenda? YES and I'm happy about it! It's been a research project, duo style. We both are very excited not only to grow and experience as individuals, but as a young couple c r a z y about each other. It's not everyday that you get to wake up and anticipate the unknown. It's enigmatic. Each day closer I get stronger butterflies, only because my life is about to change...considerably.

We've sat down and jotted some goals; a mission.

Here's a glimpse, only a small excerpt.

Pray continually.
Spend an entire day, with out knowing the time.
To smell fresh, Italian homemade bread from a tiny cafe and write about it.
To sip wine accompanying random people in Barcelona.
Skydive over the Swiss Alps.
Meet a Liechtenstein fellow.
To be indiscriminate.
Plan to be unsystematic (oxymoron, perhaps?)
Devote an entire day to hearing.
Fight, and make up.
Savor a pint at Oktoberfest in Munich.
Flirt in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Fancy a stress-free day.
Enjoy the scene of our favorite European futbol game.
Indulge in café au lait.
Write. Read. Sketch. Get lost.


"We seek to delve into the world unknown; The foreign physical latitudes alongside the foreign conscious. We carry ambitions to grow individually and as two people devoted to our adoration. Above all, we desire a shit load of fun."

Our apologies, although were promising to share MOST of our life with the world, some stuff is better kept unpublished. Not in a perverted context. Rather, a camaraderie, esoteric kind of manner. It keeps us fun, fond, and guarded.

We will continue to post our adventures packing and preparing. As of now, we really should attempt getting some rest.

If anyone has any tips or places that are a "must see" please let us know. We are walking in blind and totally open to all suggestions. Keep checking back for updates!!!

Cheerio!
