MASCOT UPDATE: The truck is fixed for real this time and they are back on the road. And speaking of road trips, Dearest is on his way to meet our newest grandson in the NICU. “Marine Two” is doing well, gaining weight slowly, but gaining. Please keep praying for him and his precious mom, dad, and brother! Thanks.

When Make Believe Meets Real

Jay Austin (vegan) and Lauren Geoghegan (vegetarian) decided they were wasting their lives working and quit their DC office jobs to embark on a year-long journey to see the world.

“I’ve grown tired of spending the best hours of my day in front of a glowing rectangle, of coloring the best years of my life in swaths of grey and beige,” Austin wrote on his blog before he quit. “I’ve missed too many sunsets while my back was turned. Too many thunderstorms went unwatched, too many gentle breezes unnoticed.”

They documented their journey and their philosophical musings on social media.
