Wait.....You're what? When?

     Lots of ideas floating around lately.  The one that seems to have stuck?  Hitting the road in an RV for a year.  Yup.  That is our new goal.  I can put into writing our plans, but this does not mean that they are cemented.  What we know for sure is that we are going to leave the lovely house we are in now, and down-size.  A LOT.  July 1st we will live somewhere else.  That somewhere else is as of yet undetermined.  The goal is a fully furnished apartment in the city.  Cost will be half what we pay now, and the money saving will begin!  In a few months from that time, we hope to have saved and purchased an RV and a truck to trailer it with.  Then we are off!!!!!!!
     Scott and I realize there are a lot of moving parts to this plan.  That is why we can only give one sure thing at a time.  So for now, we know we are selling much of what we have, and looking for a one or two bedroom/one bath residence.  In the meantime we are having a blast looking at campers!  Kids and I think these tours beat open houses any day.  We are also kind of enjoying letting much of our "stuff" go.  The cash in hand makes the sting of letting go much easier.
     Another big deal?  Scott and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary last week.  We took the kids out with us to a great Japanese restaurant.  I tried Sake for the first time, and Fiona tried "The Fun Marble Drink"!  You force a glass marble into the glass bottle and drink the soda.    Scott and I agree that the best thing we have done since saying "I do" is raising these two awesome kids.

The sake came in this cool decanter.

Mmmmm...Bento box.

Great meal with the best of company.

No, having a glass marble in your bottle is not a choking hazard...

Here we are right before we left for the rodeo!  Yeee! Haw!

O.K.  Cat is worming her way into the house and our hearts.  

End of a great science lesson.

Random throwback.  This is my sister and I on our old horse Brandy.

The roses are in full bloom.

We toured campers yesterday.  Fiona loves how the kitchens are perfectly proportioned to her!

This was in a HUGE RV.  It is the upstairs!

This would be our room.  Not too bad.

This is the model we like best so far.

I think this is the 30 foot Winnebego.
