This series of posts chronicles the journey that brought us from the Free State Project to the decision to embark on a nomadic life in an RV.
We got our RV! And broke it on the first dayĀ š¦ Not what we wanted, but there are three things we have learnedĀ from times like this: Things go wrong in RVs, as in life ā sometimes minor, sometimes major. Accept that there will be problemsĀ & trust we'll figure themĀ out. UnderstandĀ that challenges make us smarter &… Continue reading Roll with it, baby
If you've followed our story so far, you may have realized that previous posts made frequent mention of the business Brian built and has run for the last several years, and the one we'll spin off from that. So, where am I in all this? I mean, besides being the supportive spouse who has dinner… Continue reading My Legs Ain’t Broke
I kept waking up last night. I was cold. Or I had a foot or leg cramp. Or my brain simply decided 1:05, 2:30, 4:17, etc., were good times to try thinking through situations I hadn't settled during normal waking hours.
