We Are Downsizing!!

Hello Friends and Followers!

I hope everyone is having a great start to March. This month brings in the start of Spring soon. The time for rebirth and fresh starts. This is the perfect time for changes.

Yes, my blog title suggest changes for my family and I. They are actually pretty big changes, so here goes.

After long thought and discussion we have decided to move. First move will be into an RV. The area we want to move to is pretty much impossible if you are not already established near by. If you can afford to live in a motel/hotel then you will be fine. For us however this was not going to work. So, the RV route seemed our best option. Also, it will be cheaper to pay a monthly note and rv park cost than to rent a house and pay utilities.

It was suggested to me that I should share this RV Living journey, so here I am. If I am going to share I am going to share from the beginning.

We went to NW Arkansas where we plan on moving to last week. We decided last week this was home and looked at some rentals. This is when we found the roadblock when it comes to renting a home. Mind you we have talked about moving to NWA for not even a year now. We just didn't settle fully on which area.

We had given ourselves the goal to move by October of this year. This Spring or Summer, can't remember which, will mark one year of our decision to move. Well to move to Arkansas. A few months prior we actually were looking at Texas. Less than one week later after visiting up north we found our new home. Green light was given a week later and we will be getting it in our possession Monday. One and a half weeks after we said "this is home" and began working toward moving.

When things are meant to happen, they happen fast.

So, now we are past the shopping phase. We are now on to the planning and downsizing phase. Granted we are moving from a single wide mobile home into a 37' trailer, but you can honestly fit a lot of un-needed items into a 16 x 80. Now it is just all about weeding out what we don't need. Then it will be all about what to do with items we will need when we get a home. The items that won't be able to go inside the RV.

So what's to come in the future of this blog?

Tips, How Tos (this will be on what works for us), our adventure, Cooking and much more. Heck, I might even give YouTube another go. So stick around and see where this adventure takes us!

Until Next Time!
