Happy New Year! 2021 we're ready for you!

Christmas was quiet but still wonderful just our little family of four together. We didn't get to do our normal Christmas 'events' around town like we usually do but that was okay - we decorated the house, listened to Christmas music and watched Christmas movies and just spent time together. It was a blessing to have a quiet simple day filled with enjoying each others company.

New Years brings for our family many changes for the upcoming year. We were blessed with an older vintage RV, a 1981 Holiday Rambler Presidential 33 ft and we're going to make it our new temporary home on wheels come spring time this year. Our family is off on an adventure for a few months...then back to our beloved farm and homesteading life. 

We have plans to go out to California to see family, head back across Arizona to see more family then hit the road to to New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. And who knows where else! And of course make stops along the way to explore, take in new sights and enjoy all the beautiful USA has to offer in a few states we've never been to.

Our classy RV definitely needs some interior love and we're ready to take on this project as a family and paint, re carpet, get her all cleaned up and tuned up to get ready to hit the road! 

Here's some before photos....before any updates have been made!

The day we went to go pick her up and drive her home....Classy right!? We love the lines and think the RV is definitely good looking and got some personality compared to new rigs. We officially named her 'Eleanor' (since she's the Presidential model).

Interior - very dark, we're looking forward to lightening it up and replacing the carpet. We already removed the futon/and wood shelf and have a couch/bed for the front living space that will pull out to a queen and also have storage underneath.

Again - more BROWN walls to be painted. And brown cabinets. Kitchen will be sage green cabinets with a butcher block-type look for the counter tops. Not 100% decided if we will immediately replace the backsplash or just wait since its in decent condition.

We even have a tiny bit of counter space! Microwave and stove/oven.

Down the hall is the fridge and freezer/and kitchen cabinets across from the kitchen. Then next is the pull out door and wardrobe cabinets and drawers. Across from the wardrobe is the bathroom/shower. Then in the back is the bedroom with two twin beds.

Tiny bathroom with tub/shower, toilet and upper and lower cabinets.

Back bedroom. Bed on left will be ripped out so it will be a single twin and a desk along that wall. Window tint that is peeling will be taken off and curtains instead of blinds put up.

A few more exteriors:  (hubbie had the front off to get into the engine etc...

Going to repaint these logos. We all love the red-white-blue striping on the side!

The model we have.

We're excited to see where God leads us through our adventure and prayer and being together bonding as a family. We're looking forward to exploring and spending time together before our children are grown/moved out/on their own and living their own lives. There is no better time than NOW to soak up all life has to offer, embrace change and adventure and take a leap of faith...together.
