What is pushing this couple to be nomads ?

Hello ladies and gents ,

Hope everyone is getting what they want in life . Some people don't understand there is so much opertunities out there to live different .   There is no best way to  live right ? But there is always time to improve your living arangments . I dont mind anyones elses life style its there choose there will there bodies , Although I do have  to say  i really don't understand why at night every one flocks to the bars why ? I only say that cause A good portion of the  city of manchester is always at the bars drinking there lives away ? I mean choose your life who am i to tell you your wasting away but look around is all I'm saying people who are not creative think there is nothing to do i mean nowhere to go in the city besides the bars i don't like to drink happy hour is when I'm with my husband or I am just playing around enjoying out side Bon fires cookouts and music by music I mean live entertainment with friends and family . I cant wait to not see these things all the time and see different areas when i feel like i need to go and have some adventure in our lives . There is nothing better then being able to move your scenery :) . I need to tell you what is bringing us to this point in our life's and I will get to that point just bare with me haha . I believe we've done a lot all ready to get started but there is so much more left . So what do we need to do ? . We need to let our hair down enjoy nature and get out and live together as a married couple . And to do that we have to have another yard sale we have done two yard sales and we are going to need a third  one only because we sold the small stuff  we have so much more to sell and  this sat is the day we will be trying to sell more of our stuff permitting the weather is good . If this one doesn't sell the rest of our stuff we are going to start posting our stuff online to sell it and make extra cash . But we will see how this yard sale is compared to the last two. I do feel a pull to get this done faster then ever i think because , It's  been one of the hardest years for me , I haven't seen my husband on a regular basis he's always gone working or I'm always gone and time together has been rare but in the event we do spend time together it is how I want everyday to be and that is why I thrive this life style change with him I feel like time is flying by and to much time passed already . I and my husband  have been stressed from everyday life  apartments roommates and landlords electric bills , gas bills ,schedules , being stuck in the apartment , stuck in a box of four walls . When I waited for him to come home  I used to not be able to move i felt an over whelming feeling of being in jail and was depressed i have to admit i would just stay in bed all day I had to force my self up just to enjoy anything and that was very hard to do I saw the same stuff everyday . I spent what 26 yrs of my life virtually on wheels . I'm not made for a regular life  Why is  that you ask  ?because that is not what made me happy remember I grew up so different I traveled and my house had wheels so my house went with me and going from that to regular huge apartment stuck in a box with a picket fence and strapped with tie downs like electric bills and leases was a hard thing to step over . Even when I first got married to my husband we were camping he met me in a campground in my 33 foot camper and we got married in the hall that was located in the same camp ground haha . So you can imagine how difficult it must be to go from that to staring at a wall not knowing what to do next cause I feel out of place I tried and I just believe I need my freedom I am a gypsy not a thief or a liar or a trixter I am a nomad a traveler . And I know that no career , no amount of money , no shopping experience will every fill my emptiness of not having traveling freedom . I thank my lord everyday that I have what I have I am thankful very thankful . But some times I feel like I am even closer to my god when I am looking at his stars in the sky and hear all the natural noises and feel the grass on my feet and smell the fresh air and listen to the crickets chirping . Wow is all I have to say we take our life for granted and people are just to fast paced . Slow down and enjoy your life and the people in your life . That is my advise to all the readers evaluate what you have and what you took for granted cause your not granted tomorrow and neither are your loved ones so make some memories good ones . that is all for this entry . To be continued ............

Second day of yard sale

Sell it at the yard sale 
Hi guys this is my second day doing the yard sale . I had mentioned how I felt about the first day and how I believe I made more money then I thought I would and I still have all my stuff . I have to encourage anyone who is thinking about doing a yard sale to just do it get on with it it works and it's amazing it's my second day and I already made 200.00 bucks with silly stuff at my yard sale I would be crazy not to do another . Here is the continued story ......
I woke up the next day being more tired then the first because of the sun beaming  down I have to give advise if you do a yard sale stay in the shade and drink plenty of water . So Me and my lovely husband started to set things up this time he stays all day for the yard sale and I know have a partner in crime :) 
We set it all up a little different but the same and I was ready this time I thought well I exceeded my expectations on the first day so what ever today brings me will be amazing even if it is only $10 bucks it would of been amazing to me cause I made more then I thought I would make on the first day . The first hr we sold a psp and some games to go with it $80.00 boom already I have $280.00 from these two days and I feel like it hasn't even started yet . I did notice it was slower then the first day and not a lot of people came but that kinda was a good thing I was worn down from the sun the first day and was tired of tear down and set up . So slow was not a bad thing again I sold my old jewelry and some shoes again and movies books and my curtains some anti aging creams that we're new in the boxes . And some other things I didn't think we're going to sell haha . But I was wowed again the second day cause toward the end around three I started counting and we made $400.00 all together for two days of selling small stuff and I still have all my good stuff to sell and I have some more stuff for anouther yard sale or two I might even sell some of the more expensive nicer items on Craigslist or eBay and still do anouther yard sale for the smaller non expensive items to finish it off . I still have a lot to sell to get rid of all my stuff . But I do have to say in just two days $400.00 goes in my bank account to go toward my rv fund and I am super shocked and happy . That almost was way to easy to make money . Since that was easy I have been thinking about maybe even trying to start a career selling at flea markets but first I'll have to try it out and see if it was as good as my yard sale ? So remember when you think you have nothing to sell and you think you won't get a lot of $ for the stuff you do have , that you think is not worth it well think again cause that saying is right one mans junk is another's treasure . ! Well that is my second amazing day at the yard sale and I still have more stuff to sell I am going to get anouther permit and sell some stuff online to so I'll keep you posted on we're we are and how close we are getting on our big adventure of getting rid of our stuff to full time rv thanks for reading .
                Sincerely ,
            Faith and big Mike 

First day at the yard sale

Sell it to start it at the yard sale 
So today I am telling everyone I did my first two yard sales I still got to do a couple more sounds like a lot because it is a lot I am selling everything I possibly  own haha I love it . 
   Ok I am going to tell you what I expected what my outcome was and how I did it .
I started out by tagging everything I boxed up everything and put it in categories then I scheduled a day got my permit for two days cost me 5 bucks me and nabor split it because   I asked my nabor if they wanted to join so they said yes and we maid a plan a two family yard sale and we worked as a team and made about 20 signs around my naborhood   we stapled them to post about a week before the yard sale .We also posted on Craigslist that we were throwing a 2 family yard sale posted some of our nicer items for sale on there so people can see what they maybe looking at and then there is a yard sale app on my iPad I found and that helps pin point all the yard sales in the area to the yard sale  experts  out there that have that app and that helped so much . After  our yard sale advertising we were ready to go and had a day In between to rest before our first yard sale ever . I kept thinking (" no one is going to buy my stuff ? What if people steal my good stuff? What do I charge ? am i only going to be making maybe $75.00  . I do have a lot of stuff though ." ) So many thoughts went threw my mind but bed time came fast and I had to much going threw my Braine , Am I going to be able to sleep ? I asked myself . I fell asleep finally .....
   Before I knew it i opened my eyes and it was morning ! 
Yard sale day I better start it was 6:00 in the morning and if i am going to get it ready for all the early birds I better start now . So I did I grabbed our stuff with my husband big mike and we started putting things in order and put shelves up and tarp on the ground set up the table and it looked pretty good like a out door store in a way . There were a few things I was thinking that was not going to sell like my used fake jewels haha they look tarnished and I wouldn't buy them but who knows one mans trash is another's treasure . I had other items that I thought wasn't good like old books and movies and shoes and purses and old projector and things like that I thought maybe I can sell them but I wasn't going to be making barely any thing on my stuff I thought . Me and my husband had some nice stuff like a glass table , gun safe , some bobs nick nacks , curtains and panels that went with the curtains , a computer monitor and a steamer for your clothes , a digital camera and a dog kennel , a book shelf and a beautiful mantel I thought for sure everyone was going to fight for haha really it was in really  good condition . I had expectations to sell my good stuff and barely sell the other stuff who would want that although I wanted them at one point that is why I had them to sell right and that is why I still put them out . My husband had to leave after he helped set me all up he went to work as planed and my niece only 4 yrs younger then me helped with the rest of the stuff and sat with me for this yard sale im glad i am not alone . So here I go my first customer super excited ready to go with my change in my cute leopard print apron  haha . So my first customer went for the books and movies she tried to buy my movies for 25 bucks keep in mind I had over 150 movies in there and I was selling them for 1 buck a piece and that was my game plan and same with the books . And when she offered that I said I'm sorry there a dollar a piece you can get 25 movies for that price and so she was actually kinda mean and snapped at me got in her car a drove off , but I wasn't doing anything wrong I thought or am I ? I questioned myself man what am I doing wrong and then among my thoughts another customer (#2)walked up to me and said don't let anyone talk like that to you that is a great deal ! As she was picking up the movies she bought a few and started looking at other things but before I knew it I was running around collecting money for things I thought was not going to sell good "wow I thought ".
I took a minute to look around and I noticed none of my so called nicer things were selling it was all my junk that I was selling haha . My nabor mentioned to me how she thought I had some really nice things and that  I was going to make a lot of money . I guess I didn't know what I had till I sold them . I was also selling some soda and my nabor was selling some water that I was there best customer I drank a lot of water while I was doing these transactions . 
Before I knew it time flew by and  it was 3:30 and I was now able to sit and relax I posted yard sale ended at 3:00 and it went a little past but I was ok with that I was making some money . So it's over my first day is done and I have all my good stuff still ? It doesn't look like I sold any thing haha . I still had a ton of movies even though I think that was my best seller there was a lot left ? So I guess I have to pack things away thank good ness I have help my niece helped me so much I gave her a bunch of stuff for helping  . We packed up the stuff in boxes and put it down cellar for tomorrows yard sale . Good thing I got two days I still have all my stuff and I made so much already I counted it I made 200.00 my first day with just junk ? Old jewelry that I thought looked like crap sold well and movies books shoes purses clothes wow I was surprised . All my nicer stuff was still here to sell tomorrow and I still had left over of my crap stuff to sell tomorrow to haha that is how I felt about some of my stuff . Any how that was my first day of the yard sale and i have my second day of the yard sale to talk about but later so for now this blog is to be continued ............

Yard sale my first step of the rest of my life

Hello my lovely friends ,
    I want to start and say thank you for reading my blogs  , And because I know its been some while since i wrote i wanted to give a quick updated on we're we are at now . Tomorrow  i am emptying out my storage or at least trying to work on it so I can bring it here to my apartments cellar so I can pre pair for this  weekends yard sale . I've started tagging things with what I think the items are worth to me but are also willing  to be  talked down in price on a few items of course . I do have a lot to do and I absolutely  want to advertise  starting tomorrow  . This is exciting and hard at the same time to get rid of things that I had for a very long time man how did I accumulate so much stuff . But this is the first step of the rest of my life . Pretty soon time will fly and I will be off in my rv but till then I have to start and what better way then to have a yard sale and get rid of everything I own yes everything except my iPad and some clothes and blankets and  little things . I do have to say I have found things that my farther gave me before he died that I don't want to get rid of like his 1916 old news papers still in the paper bags of the olden days wow there super amazing , and I have to figure out which family member I can ask to help me hold that stuff  for a little while till I figure something else out . I think that is one of my biggest personal challenges . So this saturday is the big day I hope everything sells but I must prepare for the worst that it is possible that not everything will sell in that case I'm giving it away to people that need it and that alone is going to feel amazing . I feel like either way the outcome is going to be refreshing .After this yard sale we plan on saving a little bit more so by the end of sept or oct we will be buying our camper and be able to put a few belongings we have and start fresh with this exciting adventure . We plan on preparing before we leave and we have to still do the solar panels and battery banks . And just check everything  over . I have to say that I also feel that we may dip our feet in first before we go full blown so we know what to expect I mean live in the apt an extra month save and just camp a few days a week so we can prepare our selfs and if we feel we are not ready well we will give our selfs a little more time to build our security blanket $. Anyways it was good writing I guess I'll talked to you all again soon going to do some more tagging and finish some more laundry I'll talk to you guys soon take care . Remember home is where your feet are .

Working to get where I need to be

Hello readers ,
     So today I have to let everyone know We had sold our  truck Yay so we got some cash for that and we also picked up a few jobs big mike works tow jobs a telemarketing and a barbershop and me I work at a hotel cleaning rooms we are doing the yard sale in a few weeks to get more cash and once that happens we will be on our way to being able to look around for wich camper we want we are taking little steps at a time .
      I'm trying to come up with other money making ideas to get us going . There was a set back we got a parking ticket blah so. We have to pay that but at least it wasn't hundreds of dollors .
  I went to a family gathering this week that was fun. Now today I have off but we go back to work tommorrow and plan more for our camper . We feel like we will be in it by sept I hope the hard part is thinking about winter but I think it is possable I had camped in the winter before in fact it really wasn't all that bad . Just block off one room and keep a good heating source near you and you will save some money . There is plenty to do in the winter ski , tube , and plenty of winter activities that are fun on the road . So I am still super excited maybe I'll get my camper before the leaves turn that will be awsome to see drive around and take pictures have a quick lunch in our camper and find anouther spot to take some pictures . We will see we still are super duper excited . Did I tell you about the time I camped in a tent in the winter yeah I did that . I was in a three room tent an nice big one put my stuff in one of the other rooms closed of the room I was sleeping in took a metal bucket dryer hose and coal and a fire and a battery and a little vent fan and connected it up to blow heat in the tent? Put the coal around the metal can or bucket close it put dryer house connecting that to inside the tent with a fan in the dryer house on the tent side and connect the fan to a battery and you got heat blowing in your tent   .not bad . But cold once it where's down. Anyways the camper will be a whole lot different in so many ways I have also camped in the winter with a camper to but I just wanted to share it is possable with even a tent . Well that is it for now have a great day guys .

A cool child hood memory of my rv bus and why I like that life style now

It's faith here,
  I wanted to share some childhood memories of when I used to go camping . I believe that my love for freedom started young . One of my favorite memories is when my farther turned a school bus into a camper . What a cool idea .

So I'll see if I can paint a picture in your mind of what it looked like .this was a cool project . It started of yellow of course and my farther wanted a more earthly look so he pick a cream color beige with a brown strip on it he painted the entire bus and built a storage compartment on the top and painted that to . I looked pretty cool on the outside . But on the inside is where my favorite part of my life came into play . We drove around a lot in it and he wanted us to be very comfy so he put a couch in there tv looked like a regular living room it was nice then you go threw the bunk bed area one bunk on top of the other I loved those bunks it was like my own little fort  then if you keep going threw till you get to the back he just put a lil Porte potty  in there for our long drives , wich i was thrilled to take rides in that thing haha . I remember I had to be about six and he would take me everywhere . Sometimes we would pull over and he would climb to the top of the bus where storage was and grab my bike out of there so I can ride my bike and play with all my toys in our big back yard meaning were every we stopped , sometimes it would be at the beach others it would be at the mountains it was always to somewhere new I had a very fulfilling childhood everything was new to me all the time I learned so much and  learned not to take life for granted .  My favorite is falling asleep and waking up in the different spots and the feeling of never being bored. I used to swim a lot so we would take the old tires the ones that used to have the inner tubes in them and we would recycle those and use them as our floats haha . Mom would reuse them also she and dad made planters dad would cut out shapes and turn the tire inside out and mom would paint them and people always wanted to buy them cause they were very  creative they made money when they needed it and boy I loved to see them create them . We have 1 picture of me and my lil brother (lil mike)   on the bus   sitting on the hood of it  . I will have to add that some other time it's in my storage I need to get that out anyways . So because of my child hood and all the fun times I had with different scenery I think that contributes to how I am now . I just love that way of living and I am blessed to have a great fun family to teach me how to enjoy my life . That's all guys hope you have fun reading my interesting stories . Till the next time keep your mind opened that life can change if you want it to and it truly can be a beautiful thing .
Sincerely ,.
          Faith and big mike

Planning our start and telling stories of the past camping we've done when we got married .


Dear , Friends
    This is my planning blog today I'm gonna talk where are we ? And whats are plan ? Plans are have to fit in with our  schedule and budget , but as of now we are thinking more and more about our freedom .we have become in trapped with just things . We have way to much stuff .

      What do we do about this problem ? Well we need to think of strategies that will make us money to get rid of these things that are holding us down.
So our first strategy to sell or scrap one of our broken down cars , the suv doesn't run it's a 97 Nissan pathfinder 4door under 139 miles but it has a bad timing chain and need a muffler and there rust above the front wheel well . 
     So I really need to get rid of it and put the money away. Then I am planning a yard sale to get rid of all the brand news stuff I bought that I shouldn't have bought . (It will be a nice yard sale at least . ) then I have storage and with the yard sale happening I can free up some of that money. 

    After I've put that in the bank we can put everything we make from our jobs in our savings as well as the sales of the yard sale and the Nissan and have enough for a start . It still with our calculations is going to take a couple of months because we do have a lot of bills . We were thinking about the winter and we have many options for the winter time . We are still gonna work our reg job even after we move into our camper so that we can save a little bit more but this time with less bills and stay in one area that will accumulate very fast and by the point were we will find our selfs saved up enough of a cushion .
  
My husband (Big Mike)  and I  , have been talking about traveling for a while so when we get to this moment it will be our glory . Now remember when we first met I was living in a campground full time in a honey 33 footer camper and he moved in with me after we got married . I left one thing out we had our ceremony with all our friends at that camp ground in epsom nh circle nine ranch it was a beautiful hall they usually do line dancing there it was already decorated, And all they wanted was $50 an hr we did four hrs there we had the wedding and the reception part there and went back to our camp after to get ready for our honey moon in north Conway .  So we are used to camping full time . We got married in the middle of camping ! 
    Now I wouldn't recommend camping with no knowledge of winterizing your rig cause we learned how to deal with no water we didn't have it hooked up in our camper we did winterize the rest of it cover the windows got rid of drafts mostly . How did we take showers do our laundry and wash our hands and go the bathroom ? Well we walked to the reck hall sometimes it wasn't so bad it gave us exercise  gave us some kinda excitement to just get to some water everyday . We were on the top of the hill and in the winters ice builds heavy on those hills so we slipped a lot in the freezing temperatures .  

Summer time was gorgeous . We can walk to my mothers camper around the bin and visit my mother and my brother . They had a  separate  camper they moved into . So that was nice we still had our family there .the campground itself was .  Full of trees we can walk to the lake and take a  long walk to the bathroom that wasn't bad gave us  exercise . There was a pool there we swam at all the time . We walked our puppy we got together at the park . We had free wifi hookup . And the best part the fires at night . I have a projector so when I wanted to watch something on the big screen I could just pull it out sit next to the fire and watch a movie out side on the big screen . That was nice . But the hard part is that when we wanted to move we felt stuck we didn't know how to do all this attachment stuff to the camper we couldn't move it we had to sell it . I like the rv better no hook ups you can just drive it away and not have these kinds of problems . So i had to sell it even though it sounded like a nice place I was getting antsy and it's the place my farther had a heart attack and got picked up by an ambulance there it was really not a happy moment after that , and we ended up moving with a friend and then to apartments which I didn't feel like home .  Now remember I was left that camper when my dad had a heart attack there at that campground before me and mike came about and that  camper was left with my mother and I and my brother  after dad died me and mike met and got married in that time frame , and my Farther was the one who hooked it up to move it there in the first place , when he was alive so when he died we just took it over lived in it for a while and had to leave those memories behind . That was a hard time in my life to get over that . So we've been in apartments for five yrs. and now here we are planning again to be at home on the road .but this time in an rv we can hook up and more knowledge then when  first started and not being in the same campground dad had his heart attack . So this is going to be special I think in a way I will feel like dad is camping with me . In memory of my dad  and our marriage maybe we will visit that place maybe we won't . There certainly good and bad memories there . But the road life is my home I'll tell you another story   Of camping some other time till then we are getting ready to sell things so talk to you guys later .

Our pro and cons list of rving it fulltime hope this helps you

Blog3
Hello guys , 
       I was just thinking I would share with you guys our pros and cons on full time rving I hope this also helps other in the big desition .
Con First there is are you able to live with little amount of water untill you can find a place to fill it up next  ?
Con the bathroom is handy but can be a job in itself to empty and find a suitable dumping ground are you per paired for that ?   
Con parking is a constant job to find the perfect place whether it is a place you pay for or your boon docking it can be a project ?
Con things in your camper can constantly break and need to know how to fix things as well as your home could possibly break down where would you stay ? 
Con gas is expensive unless you stay in a spot for a amount of time but then there are rent cost for that as well .
Con Do you have pets are they used to driving ? 
Now for the pros 
Pro you conserve water and help the environment and technically be self sufficient if you preserve your resources . 
Pro no more light bills guys yes how free is that or even water bill .
Pro if you are small enough class b or c  you can get away for parking for free and boo docking who doesn't want freedom and free living .
Pro you can wake up in a new spot everyday .
Pro you can see the world and finally not take life for granted .
Pro step out of the box stop thinking like everyone else and live your life where and how you please and live it diff everyday.
Pro one of my favorites one min you can be eating lunch at the beach the next min you could be in the mountains and it is all you back yard .
You when storms hit and everyone loses there electricity haha well not you anymore yup no more sitting in the dark unless your battery bank is low .
Pro wake up and drive as far and as long as you want and can live anywhere .
Pro it forces you to be part of nature instead of inside a lil box of a house .
Pro all the gadgets I love them foldable ones , energy saving ones ,fun ones ,useful ones .
Pro there is portable laundry devices no more laundry mats wash your clothes for free . 
From this list it looks like our pros out do our cons I just wanted to share my insights with all you guys and hope you see there's a lot of good in full timing . 
I can hardly wait to live free 
                   That's it for now till next time I have something on my mind .
                           Sincerely,
                          Faith and big mike 

Plans for the future to save energy


So I've introduced myself now it's time to talk about how excited I am to start this thing although I am gonna take a little while longer to get us out of this house I can only imagine life being free . There is something about having cool gadgets that fold up and that you can take anywhere .My favorite saying  home is where my feet is . Talking about cool gadgets ! Heres a question for you?  Have you seen The gadget that boils water from a solar  panel ! Super cool ! Great for all those boon dockers out there . Getting hot water is easy enough even when you're camping off the grid.  Just start a fire, fill that pack-away kettle with water, and leave it to boil.  The Solar kettle it is called . No out let needed perfect saves your electricity for something else like staying longer in a spot . Just start boiling water for my tea using the sun , Brilliant idea . Also another thing I want to buy is those portable washers the hand crank one I believe it's called the wonder washer . Me and big mike accumulate a lot of laundry we really need to start to be better about that . I think that this change in our life style will help us be better about conserving everything like water ,food , electricity and help us get back to whats important . Our high tech world is great don't get me wrong I love it , but I feel that it's crippling everyone too.
Guys there are so many products that can help us conserve better and I really don't see a lot of people using them . Why? Is it cause no one knows about these things ? I'm going crazy in this apartment all I can think about is how I can improve energy and save water and just be better. I look around and I see no one else that agrees with me here  , instead I see wrappers on the ground , lights left on and the water running . I'm constantly picking up trash around my building . When you live with roommates  like we do , sometimes I tend to follow them around to shut of the lights cause I don't want to pay a honking electric bill which I feel is going to happen this month I'm grinding my teeth waiting for it . I understand now that I wasn't meant to live in a apt at all in any way it stresses me out and I can't relax . When I do move into my camper I'm am already imagining the freedom and the relief I will have . I can't hardly wait guys I really can't ! If you have any suggestions for me about picking the perfect camper please feel free to comment the more comments the better . I was thinking I want a small one but with a lot of storage so where do I go from there I'm on a tight budget right now and it will take me awhile to save for something like that . I know that i will get there eventually and i will be able to come up with other cool gadgets to help me conserve energy but for now  i am in this apartment dreaming and planning . Well thanks for reading my post this is a blast .  Love ,
                  Faith and big mike http://www.asseenontv.com/wonder-washer/detail.php?p=295116

Our steps we are taking to be free in the rv world

Our blog.        
Dear friends ,
  Let me start out with introducing myself and my husband , my name is Faith im 32 yrs. of age and my husbands name is Mike He just turned 27 . 
We met five yrs. ago in a campground in Epsom Nh. 
Funny thing is we also got married 5 yrs. Ago too. Are you confused yet ? 
 Everyone usually is shocked when I tell them I married my husband 2weeks after I met him . Are you interested yet ?   Haha ok so here's the story , I told you about where and when we met now I need To tell you what got us together and how ?  Big Mike had plans with my brother they were friends since jr. high they went to the same school and would hangout often at my house 15yrs. Ago I never bumped into mike but  I knew about him being best friends with my brother . The reason I never bumped into him cause I'm antsy and I am always here and there I can't sit still and was never home . Its also a coincidence my brother and my husband have the same name so I  call my brother lil Mikey and my husband big Mike just so I don't confuse you more with this part of the story . So I'm never home at that point in my life and my brother and my husband are best friends and I never met big Mike before maybe once in church but never talked to him when we were younger .  Later in life i met mike at church again and at church  i became born again and prayed with mike at the altar after that emotional time he then  started talking to me more that day and again the day went by way to fast  .   the next day  We starting talking again but this time about my whole life story I have so much to tell him in so little time I felt like I can share everything with him i told him how i liked to travel and how i am which is a free bird i cant sit still i am always on the move He didn't seem to mind he said he liked that .  he must of loved it cause we sat in the camp ground reck hall and talked for hrs . So back to the point lil Mikey was meeting big Mikey to hang out with him and I was there that day cause it so happened that I left my apt to go camping with my mother and brother . I think lil Mikey was getting ready to leave with big Mike but then big Mike bumped into me He forgot all about my brother and he asked to take a walk and talk haha I didn't realize at that point that I stole my brothers friend from him ooopppps ! sorry Mikey haha , it's been a joke ever since . So big Mike left and came back frequently during the week to take me and my brother out for dinner and bowling for some fun at  that point he told me he liked me and I seen something different in him that I never saw in anyone else . So days went by and me and big Mike continue to be together daily just hanging out . I finally two weeks later he asked me to marry him and I said yes and confronted my family and asked them if they agreed with our marriage which everyone was so we went to the justice of the piece got married and had a ceremony months after with family. We had decided to live regular by that I mean in apartments with regular  jobs and two cars for these past five yrs.  we did have a house fire and struggled after that we moved into were we are now we call this our last and  current apartment  . It really  wasn't till recently were sick of living our life in this rat race so we divided to plan how we can  change and go back to full time camping like we did when we first got married . so we wrote things down that we wanted to do and the pros and cons of each ? Together we decided to rv full time but for now we have a lease and are trying to save for the camper and the funds to do this . Our plan is to work camp and work online for an income and also maybe even doing some fairs and take a half a season off and live off of savings basically early retirement and just learn all over again to enjoy every moment of our life together . So here we are starting a blog and hopefully  we will be able to help others on our way maybe threw people looking threw the struggles of others and how they changed there out look and maybe also threw helping homeless people along the way of our travels as well . And why am I doing this well because I and my husband want to look at life differently and help others as well . So that's it for today guys thanks for reading our introduction blessing to you all . Never say never .
