If I’ve learned anything in the past year, it’s that life’s too short.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s true.

I’m quitting my job in 3 months and Kyle and I are hitting the road for a 10 week road trip covering 17 states and 23 national parks.

What started out as a dream is quickly becoming reality.

It’s now or never.

We are so excited for what adventures lay ahead on our great American road trip!
