Mommy's anxiety meds will be available on the road! Yep, major load off for everyone! We'd much rather you hear about us this way than "Mom goes insane and finds out husband really can pierce the side of a fifth wheel with own head". 300 square feet is a REALLY small space to go nutso in! So, once again, our super team at Three Oaks Family medicine comes through. Love Dr. Temple and Wonder Val!
Lots of you have been asking about how the boys are coping, and while they have the occasional second thought they are really ready to get on the road. I have posted some pictures below of their bunk areas. Keep in mind, as Aiden loves to point out, if the curtains are closed, we CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!
Being able to spend a month living in here, working out the kinks but still being at the ranch has been invaluable. It kept the kids calm, we knew there was a house if we needed it while we worked out kinks, (like the whole shower issue!) and it's been fantastic to spend time with the family before going out. We've had fabulous opportunities to say goodbye to friends in town and just enough time to fill the last cavities, see the doc and repack the storage unit. But, as every good gypsy knows, it's time to GO! So we are bumping up the date, (Come on, you had to see that coming!) and we are heading up to Gunnison for a few days of fishing with Al and Cyndi, Alan's Dad and step-mom. We don't have to be in Montrose for the Full Time Family Rally until the 1st so we are going to try and get out of the non-stop wind down here and head up to the mountains a bit early.
So here is the plan so far.... Gunnison for a few days, to Montrose, then up through Idaho for about a week on the way to Montana to see my folks for two days before heading out on a mind-blowing, Walmart sleeping, sprint halfway across the country. We'll land in Minnesota, stopping at Cabelas along the way. (Did you know you can camp there and they have dog kennels, dumpsites and fudge!!! I don't care for fudge but a free sump site sets my heart aflutter. What more could a girl want?)
Keep up people, we are on the move!
