Living Our Dream

 
 
Do you ever wonder what your life will be 5 years from now? In 2017 if you had told me we would be living in an RV and living in different places I would have said "Yeah Right!" A friend of ours kept saying how we needed a motor home and in the back our minds we kept saying "there's no way we could afford one"  Yeah we all dream that one day we would own one and take it camping or "Glamping" but in reality we didn't think it would happen.
 
 
In October in 2016 our dream came true and we were able to snatch up a cute little 19 foot trailer. When we walked inside it was like a brand new trailer and we knew we had to take it home! We had inquired in many others but the sellers never responded or the trailer wasn't something we liked.  When we bought the "Road Runner" trailer we took it camping that same weekend and we were in heaven. Its funny how when you get something you see them all over. We kept seeing trailers and we were amazed we were part of that Trailer world. Yeah it was small but we made it work and we loved it. If the problems we had with the truck didn't happen we would probably still be living in the "Road Runner"
 
 
So now we live a little more comfortably in our 30 Ft Pace Arrow Motor home.  Again when we walked in we knew this was home! When you know it you know it! Its an older model and doesn't have slides but again we make it work and we love it. Its been amazing traveling in it and calling it home. 
 
We belong to an RV group called Escapees RV club and they have many RV parks around the US. We are currently parked in an Escapees park in Congress AZ which is about an hour or so from Phoenix.
 
 
Tonight we were sitting outside enjoying the warm sunny evening and an older man who is parked across from us came over and chit chatted with us. He and his wife will be here until May then head back to North Dakota. The other day another man came and was talking to Benny and said he was also going to be here until May.  The people we meet here are so friendly and its so awesome to hear their stories and hear where they have gone. That's one thing we love about the RV Life. They are either Full Timers or they are soon to be Full Timers. When we broke down earlier this year I felt like why is this happening to us but come to find out every RVer has had a bad experience as well. The RV community is always willing to help out and give advice. Some have more than 20 years being on the road so they have seen and done it all.  
 
We are blessed to be able to live this life and I don't think we want to go back to Sticks and Bricks for a long time.  Maybe sometime in the near future we may buy some property to park our motor home when we need to sit for a bit. Its been an awesome ride and like I said earlier we would have never thought we'd be doing this.
