Our New Adventure

We have sold our 3,000 square foot home (shown above) and have recently purchased this 2006 Fleetwood Providence 39S Diesel RV. We have placed the majority of our belongings in storage and plan to full-time in the RV for at least a year. Here is the interesting part....we are not a retired couple. My husband is 37 and I'm almost 36 and we have two young children....ages 3 and 4. We decided that we did not want to wait until we were retired to do what we truly enjoyed and that none of us have guarantees of a tomorrow. So, we decided to do what we wanted to do now instead of waiting until retirement. We owned a 1997 Fleetwood Southwind 34L previously and sold it two weeks ago. We figured if we were going to full-time it for a while, we'd do so with the creature comforts that we had become accustomed to....minus a lot of square footage.

We will still be in our current home town during the weekdays as we still have jobs. But, on the weekends we will be on the road to where ever our heart desires to nearby towns and states. For our longer vacation trips, we'll be journeying across the country.

Our children aren't in school full time yet and they are the perfect age where a large amount of space isn't required. We felt we had this window of opportunity so we are taking advantage of this time period. We will buy another home eventually but it will be much smaller than we what previously owned. Instead of having our money tied up in a home, we'd prefer to keep our finances free to continue doing what we enjoy the most---traveling. I'm sure there will be a day we'll be ready for another home but for now, we are going to try the nomad life style.

This journal will be dedicated describing our travels over the next year so that our family and friends can see what we've been up to. Hopefully, it'll be an inspiration to others....Carpe Diem!
