The first few weeks

I think that we are adjusting well to our new home.  We have done a TON of down sizing.  Getting the things that we really need set up and storing the things that we will need later.  The kids have their bunks and I am working with my Mom and Aunt on some wall hanging caddies to outfit their storage spaces.  I like the caddies and by the time we are on the road, hope to have several scattered about the place.
The space is tight, but many people make do with this kind of space.

Our routine is getting pretty well set.  We are so busy we really don't spend much more time than the evenings at home.  Sports, work, family, and running around take up our days.  We want to spend as much time as possible with everyone here before we take off.  We have another busy week ahead of us, and I am trying to get as much done to the trailer as possible.  We have more ideas to make our space more efficient. I read other blogs from people doing the same thing we are doing to get more inspiration.  It helps to know that we are not alone in our feelings of the adventure.  Many people around this great country are doing the same thing.  Fed up with getting by and setting out to experience what must have been the feelings of the pioneers.  There is something better out there.  We just need to find it.  Be brave and fight thru the tough times.  Great things come with sacrifice.

I ran into an ex co-worker from my non family oriented job at the grocery store last night.  I was good to see him.  He gave me the scoop on what has been going on.  Two more of the great people that worked there have quit.  Sounds like they were also fed up with the direction that they were being taken.  I told him about our plans and he couldn't believe it.  He said that he is going to be doing the same thing in about a year, once he retires.  We are just jumping earlier in life.
