Living simply while loving the journey

Living a simple life while trying to thrive in everything we do. If we don't do what we love, it isn't worth doing!

The poor man's remodel...PAINT!

So we have started painting our new home. Travis is also fixing the things that we knew needed to be done. Overall, and we have been looking, not much needs to happen as far as fixing this 33 year old beauty!
Needs a new toilet, we are getting a stabilizing hitch, new propane tanks, one new knob for the frig, some plumbing stuff, new carpet, two new cushions and new curtains.

For some reason God blessed us with an amazing desire to live freely and in a compact space. So far I've only been hit in the head once, Travis' response, "You weren't there a second ago." Lookin' forward to a much simpler life!

Thank you for joining in with us living wild and free. We are leaving in exactly 2 weeks for our first road trip to Kings Canyon, Hume Lake. I am sure there will be some news to report but overall should be a great time with the family!!

We have a home!!!!!

Our little family, that is rapidly growing. Yes, we have another bun cooking in the oven! We finally own a home! This is our 1979 Road Ranger Fifth wheel travel trailer. We couldn't be happier!

Pulling our house from Santa Ana to the mountains.

Got it unplugged and went straight to work. 

Travis is pulling up the 33 year old carpets. He even found a little bit of treasure, a mercury dime worth at least $3!

Some before pics. Mainly we are just tearing up carpet and painting. Travis is also going to build a storage box that our KING bed will fit on.

The stairs were moved into the living room, ha ha, just to get that section of carpet out.

Sale-O-Mania

This is our living room at the moment. Full of stuff that needs to go so that we can move into our much smaller home. I never thought I would be so excited to get rid of it all. But seeing it all out like this makes me so happy to see it go!!!!

The kitchen is also full of stuff that has to go!!!
