Today is my 18th day on the road. I've traveled over 2700 miles across the US, stopped in 18 cities in more than a dozen states...met hundreds of new people. I've been inspired, in love, amazed, overwhelmed...more times than I can count.

Somehow we found we this off-the-map campground in a random part of Missouri. It's right on the river and decorated with an interesting, eclectic mix of people and things. It's peaceful. It's different. It somehow feels like we belong here.

Every day we wake up in a new city. Every day we get to make a child's wish come true. We get to watch their eyes light up as they open up presents, cards, new worlds. We get to be part of something special. I can't imagine being anywhere else but here.

But, as crazy as it is, there is one thing that I haven't been able to let go. I know its crazy. I know its silly and childish and probably something I'll laugh about someday. But still, its there. This one thing I can't have.
