Anywho!
I am joining/committing/linking up to the annual 31 days(read all about that here) for the month of October. I am looking forward to writing about our day to day experiences as we jumped right into full time RVing. This is my third year to journey along with the Nester and the other 31 Dayers. Pull up a chair and let's roll down the road together!
Welcome to 31 days of RV Living
If you would have asked me a year ago if I would be living in an RV full time within the next year I would not have answered you yes probably not even maybe! Surrrrrre that was the plan, albeit a vague one for down the road when we retired, like for when we really retired, retired but within the year, yeah, no! After all, we were only retiring from the military not really retiring. So how did we get here?
We just jumped right in feet first, bought our 31 feet of Bliss and the rest is history. Once we made the decision we just went for it. We really did! We didn't actually have a solid post military retirement plan job wise but we did have a few plans; such as to be in Omaha, NE to see our daughter graduate college in May and then be there again for her wedding in July. We knew we wanted to be able to experience both of these major events with no time constraints. We hadn't come to a decision on where our new home would be after 27 years of military living, had no clue really, so in our minds the best thing to do while we made this transition (and decision) was to go mobile! We now own a a home on wheels. So here we are living the dream in a 31 foot RV. Yeah, for no mortgage!!!
Sunny!
We have now been at this full-timing thing for nine, yes I said NINE, months and we haven't looked back...in fact, we like it so much that we are thinking of keeping at it longer then those initial 18 months we committed to. Which ohbytheway was originally 12 months and was quickly tweaked to 18!
It's been an adventure and the next 31 days will highlight part of our journey!
There have been a few oops moments (think bottle of syrup falling from the top shelf), lots of OJT and several laughs (heat on in the back with air going in front) and a few tears! But we have so enjoyed the freedom it has brought. We aren't always sure where we will go next, we take it one day at a time (though as a cost savings factor we do try to stay in one place for a month as that usually makes the slot space cheaper) and hope to end up in Florida at some point and with a job of some kind, well that's a maybe on the job! But Florida IS the goal at this point!
