maybe this time...

Angela and I have been married for nine years, and throughout our time “maybe we’ll…” has been the start of too-numerous-to-count conversations. Maybe we’ll live on a boat? Maybe we’ll live in the city, in the country, on an island? Maybe we’ll just keep trying somewhere new. Maybe we’ll end up staying here, or maybe we'll end up there. Maybe we’ll try dancing. Maybe we’ll learn Spanish. Maybe we’ll just armchair travel. We've spent a lot of effort brainstorming and trying out our many maybe's but most of our maybe's turn into short lived babies. We've moved all over, made many memories, and many mistakes, and learned from them all.
Now it's time to put one of our oldest maybe's into action, and it's never felt like a better choice. It's time to take the final steps into our happiness. It's time to shed it all and live our life long dream of full time rv'ing.
So we’re going to do it. We’re going to live in an travel trailer…and the serious research has begun, as has the sweet joy of getting rid of all our unneeded possessions, which even after shedding our stuff over the last five years to an uncluttered 620 square foot house of belongings, I still look around and 90% of these “things” are just excess unnecessary useless baggage. Dead weight.
So this is an open invitation to you for our Estate Sale, be ready…your invitation is coming.
Friday we took our first grand tour of a 16 foot Airstream International. It was an experience that we mutually have not felt walking into any standing structure, any house, or apartment. I can’t describe the excitement stepping into that aluminum tube gave me…and to think we’ll have a 19 foot International in just a few years!
It’s nice to finally have a direction, and even nicer to share it with someone.
right right, what what, and hey hey to the future!
