It has been close to a year since been started fulltime rv'ing in our friends front yard. From a moving to Texas and becoming oil field gate guards to having to replace the rv unexpectantly in October and the recent birth of our granddaughter Aria, it has been quite the adventure.
Little did we know what challenges awaited, from generator problems to emptying the tanks without making a huge mess. getting sunburnt, freezing temperatures, tire blow outs and the occasional wild animal we have risen to the occasion each and every time.
One of the biggest lessons we have learned is that this lifestyle is definitely not for the weak hearted or the insecure. This is not a vacation but rather a lifestyle choice, we work just as hard, if not harder than some to be able to enjoy the "perks."
Another lesson learned was to slow down and enjoy the journey. Society has become so focused on goals and destinations we often forget that the journey itself is part of the adventure and many times we miss out on what happens along the way. We may not move long distances as often as some but in this line of work we move much more often than others.
As we had begin our second year a whole new set of challenges will need to be met. We hope that the experience we have gained will make these mere speed bumps in our road.
