July 2012
The couple decided that it no longer made any sense living in two separate apartments, and that they would move in together. So they did. They once again broke out the camping tent, loaded up the car and hit the road. Putting New Orleans, Houston, Austin, Albuquerque, Denver, Jackson Hole, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, and as many national parks as they could find behind them, 27 days and 6000+ miles later Lindsay and Ben found a new home in Santa Monica, CA. Having not killed each other along the way, the two realized their now five-ish-year relationship could possibly be a long-term thing. In Californina, Lindsay planned for the future by attending business school at UCLA Anderson, while Ben lived the dream of pretenting to make movies.
