After 18 hours and 1100 miles, I have finally parked my car in Dallas for the night. To say all of this feels surreal is an understatement...I am well aware that this whole idea has not yet sunk in. But today at about 4:15 Central Time, I had a moment. I was driving West on I-30 and came to the top of a hill and as I looked down to the bottom, I saw this incredible portrait. There was some huge lake and the skyline of Dallas was off in the distance. Because I had been on the road for so long, I felt a little bit numb to everything and was just ready for the road trip to be complete. But when I actually laid eyes on Dallas for the first time today, the butterflies in my stomach went crazy and I was covered with a wave of emotion. I have no idea what awaits me under this big Texas sky, but something feels right.
