Roadtrip!!! Arizona to Maryland in three days.. Day One.

What an amazing eventful past four weeks it has been!  Change has come to all parts of my life and I couldn't be happier that I made them.  Let me catch you up on all that has happened, and all that I have seen.

On June 7th I accepted a position with "Palate Pleasers" catering/bakery as a full time cake decorator.  In this position I will be responsible for being the sole creator of all wedding cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes, etc.  I could not be happier that I am now able to slow down and spend my time making beautiful cakes instead of having to finish 30-50 cakes in a day.





After putting in my notice to Albertson's Bakery in Phoenix, I began to play the waiting game.. waiting to sell stuff, waiting to pack, waiting to leave.  I was getting more anxious by the day knowing that this immense 2300 mile journey was imminent.

Day One: Arizona to Oklahoma

I left the Grand Canyon State of Arizona on Saturday June 26th around 7am with intentions to end the day in Oklahoma City.  The idea was there, however by the time I said goodbye to everyone I was out by 9am!  I drove all day through boring state after boring state.. cough, New Mexico, and Texas!  Arriving in Oklahoma city by 11:00pm only to find out that the hotel had been overbooked.  I was transferred to a hotel about 25 minutes away and didn't have to pay one penny for the hotel's mistake.


During the drive I saw some of the most basic scenery for the desert southwest, cactus, dirt, shrubs, dead grass, massive white crosses out in the middle of nowhere.  You heard it right... I saw two massive crosses on my journey through the four states.  They weren't really attached to anything in particular, they just kind of stood there as a sign of peace in the barren wastelands of Texas.  As I left Texas and began the evening drive into Oklahoma, I saw the sun peacefully set as Arizona, friends, and family were left behind.




Day two was the day of beauty and calm...  but that's a story for tomorrow
