Perfect end, perfect weekend!

It's been a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday.  Much better than any of us anticipated in a campground.  This is the end of this year's festivities.  Now we are sitting around a nice fire together to bring it to a close.  Until next year...

Life. At. This. Moment.

Have you ever briefly pondered what you thought was a cool idea and then just jumped in with both feet?  Well, that is exactly what our family did this summer.  We walked away from living in a house and moved into a 44' fifth wheel camper.  

We are a military family  (22 years) that moves quite often...at least every 2.5 years. Within the last year our 3 oldest children moved out to chase their own dreams, so we are down to only having our 2 youngest daughters living at home.  The timing was perfect. We had just received new orders from Virginia to Alabama.  Now here we are.  Living the dream!

We had talked about taking this step a few times, but I don't think we ever really thought that it would happen for us.  Until now.  We have always home schooled our children so there was no crazy transition there.  Being quite accustomed to living in 2000 sqft at a minimum...big adjustment there!  The art of minimalism is an ongoing study for me.  Will I ever "arrive"?  Probably not.  But I am certainly traveling in the right direction.

So we've been living in our camper now since July 2015.  It. Is. Amazing.  Everyday feels like vacation.  A very relaxing vacation.  We are still learning the ropes of this new tiny life, but we're in no hurry.  No need to be.  

I decided to blog about this part of our life's journey for several reasons.  First, I thought it would be a cool way to document the adventure.  Second, I thought just maybe some of my friends and family would like to read it and keep up with the goings on with our life...cause we are interesting after all.  Ha.  Lastly, I thought that this might be a good way to ask for tips when I have a challenge that is stumping my, all too often, befuddled brain!

So if you have chosen to join our family on this adventure...welcome, we are glad to have you.  Please comment if you have questions, comments or tips.   

So there you have it.  Life at this moment...in a nutshell!
