The Beginning of our story

So this is our story.....
I met my husband in April 2006, and we got married in May 2008.  From our first date on, all he talked about was how badly he wanted to quit work, and travel the United States to see everything.  I, of course, thought he was nuts, I thought how on earth is that possible??  Well he proved to me it was possible.  After many years of getting on board with the budget, and doing all we could do to set us up for this future, we are finally doing it!!
Now of course there is a lot to tell on how we prepared for this, but I will try to give you the short version.
Here is my husband, Shane, and I when we first met

We love the outdoors!  Which is why we want to see it all. 
In the beginning we lived in my Shane's house, a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 4 car garage home on 5 acres, I know huge right?  Way huge, and we were both in agreement on "no kids", so it was way to big for just us.
So we sold this house and property and moved into a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1 car garage house that we rented, so we way down sized, sold a ton of stuff, but who cares, its just stuff right.

After renting for a year we decided to go ahead and buy our camper, we had sold all of our outdoor toys when we moved, except for the pop up camper, which was getting tons of use.
After shopping around for awhile we found a great deal on the camper we wanted and a truck to pull it, only one small issue... it was in Ohio!!!  so this was our first planned trip with our new camper. 

One of the hardest sacrifices I had to make, was deciding to trade in my beloved truck, my dream truck, we had a good run, but it was time to let her go.  :(

So we take time off work and drove up to Ohio to pick it up, at Holman Motors http://www.holmanrv.com/ , which by the way, we highly recommend, we had a GREAT experience with them, and thank goodness because it is very nerve racking buying something out of state, we didn't know what to expect, we worried that we would get there and things not be what they were supposed to be, but that didn't happen, everything was great, staff was super friendly, and the truck was way nicer than we thought.

And there she is, our new soon to be home!!  We were so excited and you can see it on Shane's face in these next couple of pictures.

 

And that is the beginning, stay tuned and I will continue with the places we stayed on journey back home with our new home.
