✨WE MOVED INTO AN RV!✨
*I haven’t written a proper IG caption in so long, and I have to much to catch you up on - I’m really struggling over what to write.*
So, let’s just start with a simple, straightforward update on the move.
I’ve spent the past 8 weeks pretty much uprooting every single aspect of my life & turning the page to start a whole new chapter.
I sold 90% of my possessions, sold my house, sold my car, packed up, drove across the country with Chris, my dad and the pups & hopped into an RV!
🤗My dream come true.🤗
If you’ve been here for any length of time, you know that this is MY dream… NOT 🫠
So, we compromised to make it happen.
✨We’re living RV life for 1 month in a rented RV.
✨We’re bouncing around Arizona & heading to the Grand Canyon throughout May.
✨During our time in RV, we’re looking for a home to rent in AZ.
✨We hope to find a place we can rent for 6 months.
✨After 6 months, the plan is to repeat - get into another RV for 1 month, go somewhere else (Colorado, Utah & California have all been discussed) & ind another home to rent for another 6 months.
✨And then in 6 months… repeat.
*All the while, trying to get Chris to fall in love with RV life so we can just move into one full time for a year. 😉
I’ve dreamt of being a nomad since I was a teenager.
But like so many of our lifelong soul dreams… I let that dream take a backseat to other practical priorities like buying my own home at 25, living close to my family, building stability & security in my career, paying off my mortgage & never having to rent, etc.
My soul has always CRAVED being a wanderer, but my mind was convinced that certainty, stability & security were more valuable.
Until I felt TRAPPED.
I built a life that, on paper, was absolutely fu***ng delightful. And I’m still so proud of myself for that.
But I spent 2021 in pure misery… feeling trapped & suffocated by everything I had worked so hard for.
And as it did for so many people - the 🌎 🦠 situation shone a bright fu***ng spotlight on everything & illuminated (in the most painful way possible), what needed to change in my life.
To be continued tomorrow…
