Plans changed and new update

Well the date for Richard's call-up changed and he reported to Virginia on June 15th. I am still at "home" finishing up the house, getting our daughter moved into her apartment and doing all the final stuff that you have to do when you are moving. Our storage unit is filling up fast. We already had to move into a larger unit to hold our stuff. Whatever is left has to fit in this unit.

This is my final week in Florida. And we are almost done. The house is up for sale, but with the slow market right now, we don't expect it to sell anytime soon.

And on top of all this, I have started college courses! I'm going through Western Governor's University to get my teacher certification. If you are interested in an alternative to a traditional college check them out at www.wgu.edu .

This could be the final post from sunny Florida.

Down to the wire!

I can't believe its been 4 months since I've posted to the blog. Time has flown by. Our departure has been delayed, we are still waiting on the official date and orders from the Army. They are estimating mid-June now.

Time has flown by. I resigned from my job in April. We have been busy going through all the "stuff" that has accumulated over the years. Had one successful yard sale in March and we are getting ready for another in a couple weeks.

We have about 2 weeks to get the rest of the work done, then its off to Georgia for Richard's parents 50th anniversary party. After that we will have about a week or so to finish up, get the house on the market and hopefully our daughter's apartment will come open in the next few weeks. Richard will head to Virginia when he gets work on his report date. I will head up after we get our daughter settled into her place.

Thats it for now...

Overwhelmed....its normal right?

I'm sure everyone who has been through the transition from stick house to fulltime RVing knows how we are feeling. We are at 14 weeks and counting. A house to sell, an apartment for daughter to find, 20+ years worth of "stuff' to go through. It seems since we have had to expedite our plans by several months, the stuff in the house just seems to have multiplied. Everywhere I look adds another "to do" to the list.

I know they say to take baby steps, one step at a time and all that....so why do I feel like we are getting farther and farther behind?

For all you fulltimers out there...its normal to feel totally overwhelmed right?

2007....Many changes for the year!

Happy 2007! We hope this year is all you want it to be!

Stay tuned for a new direction to the blog. We will soon be documenting our progress toward selling the house and living fulltime in our motorhome. We will not be traveling much in the motorhome for the first couple years as Richard will be working with the military in the DC area.
Our extended traveling will be coming after our stint with the military.

Stay tuned...........
