Happy 2019!
The last part of 2018 flew by but rewarded us with memories that will last a lifetime. It was in April of 2018 that we decided to at least try for full time living and traveling. We weren’t sure if it was even a possibility between work, our home, and school. If we failed, then at least we tried. And look at us now! We have learned a lot about ourselves and have grown closer as a family, not only because of proximate living quarters, as we wandered the country.

As we head into 2019, we have been discussing as a family what we want to accomplish, where we want to visit, things we want to see, and what we hope to learn. This will be a very interesting year as we head West with hopes of seeing wildlife, visiting numerous National Parks, and attending the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
