Blue: A Fantastic Start Thanks To A Dear Friend

Look at this, we still have another five days before we start our trip and already we are on our third post. A bit excessive possibly, but there has been a huge improvement for our trip and I do mean HUGE! It is a package for the trip that came from one of our followers and closest friend.

Patrick Monreal (shout-out to Pat yay!) decided there are a few things no cross-country trip should be without. So what did he do? He decided to go out, buy all necessary supplies, throw them in a huge box and overnight them to me. Patrick, thank you so much for caring and giving us these much needed supplies.

As for what Patrick sent us, I feel I should include some info about what all was included just so you can understand exactly how big of a deal this was.

So, in said box was, but not limited too: The most attractive shirt and jacket ever crafted by human hands (see picture), Spiderman flash cards so Justina and I can keep our minds fresh and running, baseball cards, a Mr. Potato head, a pony book, handcuffs, army men, box of non-frozen freeze pops to piss me off and of course a package of meatloaf because, as Pat explained in the note with the package, Meatloaf will indeed do anything for love but he WILL not do that!

Thank you Patrick for your kind donations. I do not think Justina nor I could have survived without this. Such staples like these are what really bring a trip together and without you we are sure to have not had them and spent all summer failing.

The Epic Start

So this will begin the start of the "lego" blog. To begin with, an explanation of why you will run into the term "lego" so much. Justina (Red Lego) and myself (Blue Lego) decided a while back that we are tight and fit together like........ well, Legos and thus you have the name.

Anyway, we have begun our journey. I am currently dealing with taking care of some final things at the apartment. Leaving Miller with the now preggo cat and her brother (also the soon- to-be father) as well as obligations of rent and electric. Not to mention I have officially finished my job at Famous Footwear!

Justina is working on tying up some loose ends as well. She is figuring things out with Mr. Kevin who has been away in Spain all last semester. Now Justina will be gone all summer so things are being worked on there. However its all coming together and she is relaxing. Red even just ordered her new Macbook!

In general, there is a lot we are giving up with this trip. Relationships, friends, freedom to do whatever we wish, summers on the lake (for me at least), and so much else. We are however completely confident that this will be more than worth it. After all two legos, one bus and a trip around the U.S., what could go wrong?
