I am utterly embarrassed to admit that it has been nearly 20 days since I updated my site! Unfortunately, I do not think today is going to be much different other than apologizing and promising to update all of you with the details of the road trip in the upcoming weeks.

We have already hit some minor roadblocks with regard to our pledge to be completely mobile - namely the problems associated with banking across the country.

I will send out an email when things start to become updated. Thanks for reading, check back soon : )
