So I was reminded that we set up a blogger account a little while back and maybe a good place to continue writing about our adventures. Brittany brings up a good point that she does lots of pictures and Snippets on her Instagram, so if you haven't been seeing those already that is a great place to check up on some of the dailies. Otherwise, what is there to talk about...
Things have been shifting into place more and more. We are down to the last few boxes, which has been fantastic having most of our floor space available for walking and doing other things with. It has been quite a challenge to get everything organized in different ways and figure out where everything should go, but also feels like a rather large accomplishment having put almost all of it away now.
We moved out of our three bedroom house, and into a two-bedroom RV. Although it is substantially less space we know that we really didn't use a lot of our space previously, and although it may feel a little cramped at times we have been enjoying the space and find it suits us well. Just like at home, we have to get out of the house every day or two stay sane, but otherwise we just enjoy all hanging together in the same couple rooms anyway.
About a month and a half ago our little family moved into an RV. It feels like a long time ago because so much has happened since then, but it has been a fun experience. There have been a lot of things to learn along the way, and we expected it to be like that.
We now know where every Walmart is in about a 10 mile radius around us. We have also been working on taking advantage of buying expensive items from our tax-free neighbor, Oregon. And it's hard to believe that there's an Ikea 10 minutes from our house once again. Needless to say, we have found a variety of pieces to help with our organization at the large, awesome furniture store.
The area itself is beautiful. It's amazing seeing some place so green after living in high desert's for the better part of a decade. I have missed the greenery of the West Coast, and once the weather gets better we will start going on lots of hikes. Apparently that is one of the big things to do here in Vancouver Washington, and the surrounding areas.
Brittany and I are getting close to being able to work again. She has been offered a PRN position and that she will begin in February, and my license for nursing went active within the last week. Now it's just a matter of applying and visiting potential work sites.
Hopefully we can get more posts like this in the future. Those of you who see this, just shoot Brittany or myself a text to let us know you saw it. Just want to make sure that everything is still running smoothly through blogger since the last time we used it. On a side note, we might be transitioning to another blog-type service, so also shoot us the email you would like to receive notifications through.
For the most part things have been falling into place. Our home is very close to being fully organized, we are starting to figure out job stuff once again, and we might be moving on to a more permanent property to park our RV by the end of this month. We are excited to continue our journey in our little home. The boys seem to be enjoying it, and usually when they are happy we are happy. Because then they are not driving us batty.
