I'll miss you bed

Goodbye nice soft pillow. Head, get used to sleeping on wadded up shirts for the next 2.5 months. Legs, get used to working overtime (extra, extra, overtime). Butt, well…… what can I say? Become buns of steel? Maybe I can hope for that but I’ll be content with just being able to sit down everyday. I am ecstatic about starting this long, and much anticipated event. Although I don’t want to be deluded into thinking that biking across America will a bucket full of peaches and cream (or cherries). In fact, in a sense these next 2.5 months could very well be the toughest and most challenging time of my life. Yet I feel that these next few months will also be saturated with many laughs, thrills, good times and in short, adventure. The unknown is what scares but it’s also what enthuses me. And I can’t wait to start building houses for people. Yeah, I’ll have fun. Yeah, I’ll be extremely tired. Yeah, I’ll fall a few times. Yeah, I’ll hit my hand with the hammer (I’ll just stay away from the nail gun!) But it will be one amazing ride.

P.S. Thanks to all who have supported me. Thanks to all who have read this blog. I’m not taking my computer on the trip so my blogs might be far between. But I promise I’ll document the trip every chance I get. Keep me in your prayers. I’ll need it! Thanks!
