Here's the back story: All growing up people would ask me, "Are you from Challis, ID", "Were you born there", "Have you been to Challis" ..... you get the picture. So, I decided that since I had never been there before, I would take the voyage for my 30th birthday. We dropped the kids off at my moms for the night and just the two of us left on our adventure. I was hoping for a little self discovery along the way. Now for the next 30 years I will have a different response to the never ending, redundant, and expected questions associated with my name.
(My parents got the name from a girl that my dad knew before my parents were married.
That is an entirely different story that I haven't got to the bottom of yet.)
My cute escort!!!
By the way, I officially visited Challis Park, as you can see! Somehow it was so funny while we were there. How many people have actually reach their own destination? ha ha
As you can see, it was a giant town. It is actually amazing beautiful this time of year.
As my CRAZY journey towards self discovery came to an end, I realized that I am no closer to discovering who I really am than before I left. What I did discover is how each day I am blessed to have an amazing best friend by my side to help me figure it all out. He pushes me to become better and embraces all the junk in between. Muah, love ya Brandon.
