Funny how life works. 3 weeks ago we had an income to be able to afford a vacation or celebration, just not the time. Now we have all the time in the world but no income. We actually spent a good part of one of our days talking and actually physically calculating out if we could afford to sell our house, ride out unemployment and live for a year in the pop-up while we cross the country. I guarantee our children would learn more in a year living in the wilderness than they would ever learn in school. We actually already came up with the title of the book we would write in that year...something like -
Pregnant in a Pop-Up
Unemployed & Pregnant living in 70sq. feet with our almost family of 5
I dunno. Sounds like a good read to me. So good, I almost want to live it. lol. You think I'm joking.
Until then...we spent 3 days getting eaten alive by mosquitos, getting a sun burn (in October?!) on the beach & spent 2 nights sweaty with ear plugs cause of a non-working a/c and stupid loud crickets - but it was perfect - we were lazy, read books, played cards, talked, ate, sat in silence, held hands, took long walks....Felt like it had been awhile since we spent that kind of time together :*
Thankfully & gratefully Grandma & Grandpa were able to come over to keep the kiddos safe, fed and loved while we were gone. Also to be noted - we came back to a stuffed full fridge :) Thank you ... you both went above and beyond the call of duty.
7 years strong.
