I’m BACK!!! (with info about our trip across the country!)

September 4, 2012 By Erica Deuel 2 Comments

Last time I posted, I was leaving for the beach and needed a media silence.  That was almost exactly one month ago.  I am back and here to tell you that beach trip was only the beginning of our travels!!   I am sorry I could not reveal the full extent of our trip, but we were gone for almost a month. For all the stalkers and house toilet paper rollers out there, we didn’t want it to be hugely wide known that our house would be vacant for weeks on end.  This little blog of mine is not huge by any means, but you know, a girls gotta be careful!

We left August 8 and headed to Florida, from there we started our travels to the west coast!  Our goal was to see our beloved friends in California, and we did that and had so many awesome stops before and after!

We got back this past Saturday, and we have been adjusting to life back at home, doing laundry, and seeing family.  Its been bitter sweet to get back from such an incredible trip.  In the coming days, I will be sharing more details from our trip.  The post I am most excited to share with you is the FACTS from living on the road for 25 days, while driving across the United States, with a 5, 3, and 1 year old.

Thank you for being patient with my while I took time away from social media.  This was a great time for me to just enjoy my family.  That was my only “to-do”. While gone, I really got to recenter my priorities, process what I am doing and where I am going, and just be FREE!  Matt and I had some amazing talks and got to dream together.  It’s incredible how pulling yourself out of your “norm” and being freeed up can bring you back to the root of who you are, what you want to be about, and what matters in life.  We had an amazing trip, and I can’t wait to share more of it with you!!

For all of our friends/family that we didn’t get to see on this road trip, we will get to you next time!!  There will be more road trips!  Isn’t that a success alone?!  I can honestly say, I can’t wait to get back on the road.  More coming along these lines too!!  I have some great ideas for blog posts (well, that are exciting to me!?!  I hope you enjoy them as well!) and series that I can’t wait to share!  I missed this little outlet of mine!

For now, let me leave you with some fun shots from our travels:

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

    Can’t wait to see more pictures! The road trip my family took in a van around the country is still one of my best childhood memories. I’m so glad you had this opportunity and hope for many more 🙂
