We did it! We left!

 We did it! We left in April on our family RV adventure together! 

 Our trip started with a few long driving days between dropping off Jordan's pigeons, stopping by to see our sweet piggy girls at their boarding place and a couple minor hick ups. Only a few days in we were still trying to figure out our routine, figure out how to be better organized with 4 people and 2 dogs in a 33 ft RV tiny living space - - but also the first mornings waking up in the RV  all together in a new place we felt overwhelmingly thankful and grateful for this time together.

 We came to this decision to live in the RV/travel for a few months through a lot of prayer and will continue on this path to see where God will plant us permanently also through prayer and his guidance. We do not know where it will be although there are several places we'll be checking out but we have faith and just know that God will let us know and lead us where we are supposed to settle.

Then to California to see family - -  

We played tourist and went to the Zoo, tide pools, and the beach- all of our favorite places. We visited where my Nana and Papa lay to rest at Ft. Rosecrans as well and it was a beautiful gorgeous day up there.

 

My son and I tried a vegan fast-food place we've been wanting to check out - he got the 'burger' and fries and I got the 'chicken' sandwich and fries. Next time I really want to taste one of their many flavors of dairy-free shakes!

We had to say good-bye to our sweet buddy boy Rusty at 13 years old at the start of our trip. We were devastated. To say this hurt our families hearts deeply is such an understatement, there are no words. He was our very first dog, first family pet. We adopted him when Jordan was 3 yrs and Teryn was 8. Jordan would always ask when he was tiny how long Rusty would be with us and I would tell him all your childhood- till you are an adult- and he nearly did. Rusty was a family dog- but Jordan's dog, his buddy, sleeping in his room with him. He was always go with the flow as we moved around a lot, and added on farm animals. He was high energy, playful, mischievous and a lover boy. It just doesn't seem real. Loosing a pet-family member is hard but for our son, loosing your best dog friend hits SO very hard. I'm praying for comfort for our family especially Jordan as we grieve our loss and I know God will give us peace and fill us up with the love of knowing we had so many wonderful times and memories.

April was a blessed month seeing family and a little heartache too not only loosing our old Rusty pup but saying good bye to family knowing we weren't sure when we'd see them again. But we were in high spirits at the end of the month for the adventure ahead!
