Hello! Hello!
We're the Oakleys.
We would like to invite you to follow along as we
start our adventure on the Appalachian Trail stretching from GA --> ME.
Together we will be spending half of our 23rd year of life away from the demands of school and work and be focusing on the basics of living.
and a lot of walking.
Our motives:
-seeking the truth through beauty
-growing together as one
-taking the time to think & pray
-the love of simplicity
As we've been preparing for our journey, we have been overwhelmed with the love and encouragement from our families, dear friends, co-workers and friends of our faith community.
With grateful hearts, we say to all of you, thankyou.
truly, thankyou for supporting us.
