Roadtrip Series: The Journey Home


Goodbye Colorado, Hello adventures in Nebraska.

There were definitely tears as we drove across the state of Nebraska this afternoon.

Now, don’t worry. Most of the tears came from hysterically laughing due to the fact we almost ran out of gas in the middle of the open plains of Nebraska! We discovered Chloe the Corolla has a longer range than estimated once it hits zero miles until empty. Praise Jesus. Although some don’t agree, it would have made for another interesting twist to our adventure.

The last couple of days we spent at HB’s aunt & uncle’s house near Denver.  We were able to catch up with friends and family in the Denver area along with hunting down some pretty sweet thrift stores!

We will be back in Minnesota tomorrow. 
Please pray for safe travels and boldness as we continue our support raising!


Ready to investigate Golden, CO!
Golden, CO has lots of fish
(they are a little bigger than normal too)
He was a keeper
HB and her lovely Colorado family
who gave us a place to lay our heads and fill our empty bellies
Yes, ladies and gents HB owns her own pair of chaco brand chacos
Welcome to Nebraska: the land of milk & honey (when you find a gas station)!
Notice Buffalo Bill in the background...

 It has been an exciting adventure... but there's no place like home.

Yeah for Colorado Springs!



We are in Colorado Springs!

It was a road trip to remember!

After two days of traveling, it was great to arrive at
“The Glen” (as it is known) and finally be out of the seated position.

“The Glen” is one of the most beautiful places ever!
No worries, pictures will be coming (you’re welcome Mom).

Our roommates are from Texas and Tennessee.
HB has already picked up the word “y’all”.
& many others enjoy our lovely Midwest accents.

But after some hiking and delicious food, sleep is a must.
We will update all that we are up to soon.

Until then, enjoy the photo montage ….

Gothenburg, NE & the pony express!

The Midwest Edgers... minus Kristin. Notice our AWESOME free pot holders that "Deb's grandma" [the owner of the bakery] gave us at the local donut shop! 

We are finally friends.

Welcome to COLORADO!
(can you find Patrick?)

Flying by Denver.

...AND, We're Off!


Life update: We are in Nebraska!

We started off bright and early from Minneapolis and after a full day of driving we are safe and sound in Gothenburg, Nebraska! Tomorrow, after we hit up the local donut shop, we will be on our way to COLORADO! 


Today's trip went smoothly, and included some napping, lots of snacking, and a healthy dose of dancing. We played a version of "yellow car" for the majority of the trip, learned more about each other, and even talked engineering a bit! [We have two rocket scientists in our midsts, people!]


Here are some highlights from today:

Ready to hit the road!
It's a man thing
Sadly, no discounts were given.


P.S. You'll be getting a full group picture of the 7 of us roadtrippers tomorrow!
