Instagram post 2225252724168380850_7755483542 There’s nothing quite like the pure joy on a child’s face.
Instagram post 2223755714997129609_7755483542 How you choose to live matters. Not the things. Not the home. Not the dinners you cook or the clothes you wear. No matter what happens in life... no matter where you land... you have the choice to make the most of our life. I’m learning this in my 30s thankfully. The people I surround myself with, the thoughts I allow to pass through my mind, the activities I choose to do... that’s what I want to look back on when I’m older. Collect memories. They’re worth more than anything else.
Instagram post 2220929590629915006_7755483542 We’re looking to put our jacks down and stay a while. Nothing is set in stone yet. In fact, we can’t officially put those jacks down until Nate finds employment. So for now we’re navigating some goals and dreaming of what comes next. We’re enjoying the winter in Arizona for sure. Nothing quite beats 60 and sunny nearly everyday. We don’t want to make snap decisions but we do want to do what’s best for our family. Just remember even if you take 6 months or a year to travel you get to decide what that’s going to look like. You make memories and learn more about yourself and your loved ones that you can take back into your daily life with roots. We still plan to travel. We’d really like to discover Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana & the PNW. There’s SO much to see. But for now we’re focusing our efforts on slowing down and taking things step by step to set ourselves up for the future we envision.
Instagram post 2219108490252001875_7755483542 “I’m coming to terms with the fact that traveling has an expiration date.” I was talking to my skoolie friend Tina from @weliveonabus about this recently. There are things I miss about living in a house with walls, amenities and stability. You know what I crave the most of sticks and bricks? Routine. The one thing I thought I wanted to get rid of it turns out I desire the most. I have flourished into a different person this last year. I can honestly say what we thought travel was going to give us wasn’t what we expected. Okay maybe in part. But what I got from traveling together for nearly a year so far has been this... 👫 Our marriage matters. This relationship takes work and we have learned a new way to work together. 👩‍👧‍👧 My relationship with my girls matters. It breaks me down into pieces when I realize that our oldest daughter leaves the nest in this decade. They are only little for so long and they won’t always ask me to help them do their hair or get them dressed. 👩🏻 I matter. For so long I neglected myself. I neglected my mental health, my physical health and emotional health. I neglected the desire to do things that I enjoyed. But most of all I neglected the fact that I have a voice and I should listen to it from time to time. You see no matter what happens this year.. if we decide to come off the road and put our jacks down somewhere permanently traveling will always be part of our life. For now we’re enjoying Tucson and having family so close that we have a ton in common with. The girls have cousins to play with and we have a place that offers nearly all our favorite hobbies. If you’re reading this and contemplating travel just know it may have an expiration date and that’s okay. Just make sure it’s for the right reasons. If I were to go back into a house now and settle back down you can rest assured I’d do things a lot differently.
Instagram post 2216436535455595627_7755483542 Take me to the mountains where the weight of the world falls away. I live for the moments where I can finally breathe and silence the noise in my head. Take me to the mountains.
Instagram post 2214363860776008846_7755483542 Hey friends, I think it’s time for introductions again. We’ve lost a lot of dead weight lately and gained new followers. If you’re new here welcome. If I were to meet you in person there’s a good chance I’d welcome you in and offer you an iced tea. I’m Heather and I’m the thumbs behind this little account. In 2018, my husband and I decided to sell all of our worldly possessions and buy an RV. In 2019, we started our maiden voyage. Next month will mark a year since we moved into our RV full-time. We didn’t want to wait until we were older to travel. So here we are nearly a year later. I for one am craving stability and routine again so we have decided to put down roots in Tucson for the winter near family. All of this is to say welcome to our little corner of the internet. We are so happy you’re here. If you enjoy thoughtful posts, hiking, biking and the occasional jump into cold water you’ll feel right at home. Tell us about you so we can get to know each other a bit.
Instagram post 2212092384492611595_7755483542 Without this guy our travels wouldn’t be possible. He can drive our motorhome like a boss, back it into anywhere and he takes care of all the maintenance. I couldn’t imagine taking this adventure with anyone else. Not to mention... that beard. Here’s to many more years of going where the wind blows us.
Instagram post 2211125473210490290_7755483542 Wow, what a year. And I didn’t even include the 2 months prior to moving into the RV. 2019 was a year of growth. We learned a lot about each other and ourselves. We learned a lot about balancing work and travel and growing a business. Which by the way is incredibly hard. We found healing in Florida, fell in love with Michigan and felt like we were on top of the world in NYC. I met some of my friends for the first time and reconnected with old ones. Nate met up with one of his friends from high school and he introduced us to rock climbing. I think 2020 will include quite a lot of that new hobby. We met up with family in South Dakota for our annual off-roading trip. Now we are ending 2019 in Texas journeying to Arizona for the winter. Here’s to many more adventures and memories in the years to come. We are wishing you and yours all the best in 2020.
