I've gotten so many messages and questions about our current circumstances, I thought it was time to start blogging again.
We decided many months ago to list our house for sale. (We haven't quite yet).. There's several reasons why, but a big factor is that we just really desire some space for the kids to safely play.. with the house market being as it is, and our current financial situation, we decided to embark on a special adventure to live in our RV trailer, parked on a family members' property, save and pay off debt, and wait for God's guidance in where and what to buy next.
We decided to move into the trailer sooner, rather than later for a few reasons. 1. We have several home updates that while in process make living in the home tricky with small kids (refinishing countertops, painting ect)... 2. Once the house is listed for sale, we can have the house set, clean, and staged, and won't have to constantly keep it spotless, and also won't have to pick up and leave anytime someone wants to view the house.
So. Here we are. Trailer living with 2 small kids. Some say we're nuts. Some say they wish they "could do that"... but regardless, we're in it for the long haul, and the duration of our trailer life could be a couple months or many longer. We don't know yet.
Meanwhile, my mission in life is to simplify, teach the kids the value of being grateful for the space and things we do have, practicing patience, grace, flexibility, and have fun along the way.
We are well and healthy and happy, and excited to see where this new chapter takes the Holmes family! :D
