O O to the Oregon!

I can’t even type how happy I am. I’ve been wanting to come here for a few years and I have finally entered the state. We’re not even in Portland yet, and I love it.
It’s so beautiful here. I’m so excited. It’s lovely, prettier than your favorite tooth.
I can’t stop grinning. Thank you God, you really are an amazing artist.

Pharoah, Pharoah

So, the drive from Illinois is the longest I’ve been in a car for. Me&A-dog were completely delirious and laughed at a specific topic for 15 minutes. My cheeks were hurting, I couldn’t breathe, and our stomachs were in pain. We kept talking about these crazy scenes with Jes in them. With. A. Jug. Of. Water. Stuck. On. Her. Head…. Perhaps it sounds lame, but it was one of the funniest imageries that has ever entered my mind. I’ve never laughed so hard for so long in all my life.

Cornerstone was super duper!

It was filled with the following: Laughter. New people. Cool spiders. Gothic tents. Raves. Similar stories that only church kids could possibly relate to. Hardcoreness. Boarder perspectives. No service. Hairy pits. Lost red Chile key. Staying up all night. Mr. Armand look alike. Vintage bikes. Much appreciated folk music. Much. More.
I really had a wonderful time. Yay!
For this whole summer I’ve just been a body, now there’s a soul. That is alive.
I could go through each person I met ,and say something nice. But, I kind of want to say something mean…. HAHAHAHA! Just joking.
I don’t really have anything to say….. Now I feel awkward. Bye….

The keyboard feels like the beach. Ew.
We have passed through Iowa and currently in Nebraska.
While we were in Iowa, we saw one building that looked like it belonged in India and stopped at “Kum and Go”.
Also, Iowa is formally known as the state that crushes and ruins young teens college dreams. It is where standardize tests are created. Home of the devil.

Now in Nebraska, a deer ran across the road! Jes was centimeters from hitting this genius creature, known as a deer. We screamed, then laughed, then cried, and then had stomachaches from laughing too hard. The wind is very strong here.
And a woman in the gas station told me I looked tired.

“Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic zeros. Awesome song. We sat in a circle near a tent that gave us free ramen noodles. We sat with our new friends and tried to make musical sounds from the grass. Then we sang that song it was indeed a “good time”

And the adventure begins….

Earlier I was laying down, in a blue sleeping bag. As I was lying down I heard the wheels turning, turning, and turning. My thoughts were spinning with them. The wheels turned and my mind begins to go somewhere as well. I begin to think about all the possibilities that may take place on this trip, all the faces I may encounter, and I’ll the stories I will be able to tell.
The time is now.
The road trip has begun.
The good times are beginin’ to roll.


We’re on our way to a corn field in Bushnell, Illinois
