Day 2 ~ Albuquerque, NM to Bakersfield, CA

It was a very monotonous day today. We stayed on I-40 about ten hours. During the two hours of rain, I was very proud that Will took the 10/2 position on the steering wheel. The weather was definitely strange. We went from 48 degrees in Flagstaff, Arizona to 100 degrees in the Mojave Desert. My favorite quote from Will happened after we had started our twelve hour trip. I asked Will where the directions were and he replied with, "it's all in my head." I reminded him of our little detour yesterday. After a couple of hours, I was able to find the directions which prevented us from another detour. We are excited that tomorrow's trip will only last four hours.

Day 1 ~ Harker Heights, TX to Albuquerque, NM

Today was a very difficult day. We left my family and dear friends and started our road trip. I was not able to go two straight hours without crying. Will was amazing and held my hand the entire time. He said that today was my "free pass," which allowed me to listen to music that I like ~ yay! Some of the pictures below include some of the more interesting things we saw comparitively. The Big Spring picture is kudos to my mom who was born there.

Will decided we needed to take a detour from the directions (read them wrong) and we were literally the only people on the road, similar to a horror movie scene. We decided to make the best of it. Will reenacted a scene from some "college movie" whereas I decided to be road kill. Also, we stayed at the most southwest-y hotel ever. It was awesome. Will called it "interesting." More to come tomorrow...
