Today started off very hectic and rushed, as we tried to get all the last-minute things done before we left. We finished up our sign and put everything on the car. We set up a camera on the dashboard to record the drive, so we might be using that footage in a video at some point. Now that we’ve gotten on the road we are a lot more relaxed. We have this time while we’re driving to really savor the moment and how we feel right now, right before we embark on a new adventure together and start a new chapter of our lives. We left at around 10 in the morning, so we have all day to drive through Austin to Brownwood and can take our time and make a few stops along the way.

Our first stop, of course, was at Buc-ee’s, a chain of travel centers in Texas. We filled up on gas and coffee and also bought beef jerky and some other food to snack on in the car. With that, we’re now ready to get back on the road and continue on our way.
