Homeward BOUND! Iced In in Nashville!!!!

We left Disney's Fort Wilderness on February 28th. 

We stopped for lunch at a Rest Area

We were running behind AS ALWAYS HA HA

Our goal was to make it to my friend Vanessa's house by 4pm.

We got there at 8pm.

Got the RV all parked and settled in and 

We were greeted with a FULL MEXICAN SPREAD of Street Tacos.

SO YUMMY!

All of the kiddos had a BLAST!!!!

Making memories with friends is PRICELESS!

After we ate, we headed up the street to our friend Ronda and Ray's house for a quick visit! The Captain and Ray get along SWIMMINGLY!!!  They are both "REWIRED" Wrappers!

God brought Ronda, Vanessa and I together through THIS CRAZY WRAP THING!

We laughed till we peed, shared a glass of wine and enjoyed each other for a couple hours.

Vanessa is a STRONG WOMAN!

Her husband is a Major in the Army serving in Afghanistan right now.

He will be home one week in June and then their entire family of 5 will head to Korea for 2 years. Strange to think that this may be the last time I see her for years.

She does an unbelievable job of handling EVERYTHING while her hubby is away.

She was the lady who drove 3 hours to watch our sick kids when we attended our Son-In-Law Matt's Memorial Service. She has a loving, giving heart and I am SO thankful for her friendship!

We spent 15 hours in Atlanta and then it was ON TO Murfreesboro, TN!

We enjoyed WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP with My friend Gretchen's Family!!

We ate some YUMMY BBQ!

12 kiddos under one roof just having a GREAT TIME!!!!

Then it was time to GET OUR TRAINING ON with Gretchen's BIG TEAM in Tennessee!

She has grown SO QUICKLY with 64 Distributors on her team in just a few months!
She just snagged a $10,000 bonus and will be getting a $15,000 bonus this month!

This business has CHANGED HER LIFE!!! God brought us together through this blog! She has four bio kids and two adopted precious ones. We are truly like SISTERS! It is SO CRAZY! I am SO THANKFUL for her Sisterhood and friendship! It is such a BLESSING to see her life change physically and financially through THESE CRAZY WRAPS!

The Captain trained on how a guy gets involved int he biz and what his role is!

I LOVE watching him lead!

This is our whole team of Wrap Stars that attended training!! THESE WOMEN are going to CHANGE SOME LIVES and see their lives changed very quickly!! I was almost in tears as we went around the room and they all shared how the products have already changed their lives! THE GREENS were the #1 topic! I heard everything from helping insomia, lupus, migraines, restless leg, giving lots of energy, weight loss and so much more! SO MUCH happens when our bodies are in an ALKALINE and Detoxified state!!!

We said goodbye LATE into the night as the kids played and we charted out the course of some of the girls businesses!  That's when we CHECKED THE WEATHER and realized that leaving the next day was NOT going to happen. We Boondocked in a Wal-Mart parking lot, stocked the RV with all the necessary supplies and decided to hole up in Nashville for a couple of days until Winter Storm Titan blew over! It was COLD in Nashville! COLD!

It was SO FUN to just snuggle in for 2 days! We watched church via the web and made Grilled Cheese, tomato soup, burned a beachy smelling candle and watched some new movies! Nick practiced his banjo. It was some good down time after going strong the last few days!

We headed out Tuesday morning for my parents house in KS! I LOVE LOVE LOVE listening to motivational speakers and leadership material. Caty and Brendan chose to ride with me the entire 11 hours! Caty sat in the back watching movies with her headphones on while Brendan and I listened to music and LOTS of motivational speakers! His favorite was John Maxwell!!  You are NEVER TOO YOUNG to start working on YOU!

We ate dinner with both sets of our parents and The Captain did a little banjo concert!

They were IMPRESSED! Especially my dad who is a former Band teacher!

Here he is with his Dad looking on :)

We got up and hung with my parents for the morning and got a surprise visit from my Dad's brother Daryl! SO MUCH FUN!! His daughter, my cousin Sarah is a leader with It Works Also!

We left for home around 1pm.

It Snowed on the way home.

Our housekeeper came a few days after we left for FL.

It was SO NICE to come home to a SPOTLESS HOUSE! 

I missed VERY FEW things about our House. One thing I did miss was our bathtub! You can't take a bath in an RV!! As soon as dinner was done, we had a NICE LONG BATH! We pondered what we would do different next winter. One thing is STAYING LONGER!! We both agreed that we came home too soon. We had such a BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL time living as Snowbirds. The memories, friendships and fun our kids had are irreplaceable. We thank our God for allowing us to LIVE THE DREAM with our kids. 

We are busy getting unpacked, organized, getting back into a routine and planning our next RV Trip in June!!!  

Welcome to our 432 Square Foot HOME!

WELCOME to our HOME on WHEELS!!!! 

We've spent a MONTH in our RV before but never the entire winter!!

I tell you this not to brag but because it was a DREAM I HAVE ALWAYS HAD!

I have ALWAYS disliked the cold... Always dreamed of being in the warmth and sun when it's cold at our home in Kansas.  I also tell you this because I am LIVING PROOF that if YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN DO IT! I never really DREAMED BIG until 2 years ago when we started our LITTLE WRAP BUSINESS! It has been wonderful to be SURROUNDED by DREAMERS and not just ANY Dreamers but Dreamers who LOVE JESUS and have GOD SIZED DREAMS!

With The Captain being "REWIRED" and us owning our own business, we are blessed to go wherever our hearts desire! WE CAN WORK FROM ANYWHERE! 

Having the FREEDOM of time is truly undescribable.

This is the view as you walk up the steps into our RV! We have been living in this space for almost 2 months straight now!! By the time we get home we will have been living in our RV for 67 days! It is imperative to KEEP IT NEAT and tidy with 9 people in here!

 Many have asked how we do it and it is simple really! 

We have EVERYTHING WE NEED RIGHT in these 432 square feet!

The dinette folds out into a bed. Jett and Wyatt sleep there.

The couch folds out into a bed. Tori and Myah sleep here!

This is a view from the front into the kitchen/living area. We have a small counter space but we make it work. During meals and school, we set up a small table that  3 can sit at.

This is the kitchen. We have a microwave, stove, oven and a small fridge and freezer! It is about 1/2 the size of ours at home. We grocery shop every few days because the fridge is so small.

This is a view from the TV area to the front! There are 3 chairs up front. The Captain's chair, my Co-Captains chair and an extra chair.

I LOVE this sign hanging above the couch!!

We have a set of bunks in the hallway! Brendan is on top and Caty is on the bottom. During the day we store our school tubs, blankets and pillows on the top bunk. Blakely likes to lay on the bottom and watch movies!

Across from the bunks is a 2nd TV, our Map of where we've been, our goals and dreams on a bullentin board AND... the bathroom.

The view from our bedroom up to the front of the coach.

Welcome to the LOVE NEST. Blakely still sleeps with us!

The Captain has a small closet by his side, I have a small closet by my side and we can also store a lot under the bed!

Across from the bed is a large closet and lots of drawers as well as the Master bedroom TV!

All the kids clothes hang in the closet and socks and undies are in the drawer below.

Here is our bathroom across from the bunks! It is SMALL! 

But DEFINITELY DOABLE with 9 people! 

It has EVERYTHING WE NEED!

Here is our setup from the outside!

Lots of scooters, bikes, our XL golf cart and BIG CAR!

NO RV site is complete without a sign out front telling where you're from!

The weather here has been BEAUTIFUL here! The coldest day was 55 degrees!!!

We have had a BLESSED, BLESSED time here!!  The time has FLOWN BY!

One thing we have decided is that we will most likely NEVER spend another winter in Kansas!

It's OFFICIAL, We are Florida SNOWBIRDS!! Sunshine... on my shoulders..makes me HAPPY!! The Sun REALLY does put you in a good mood!  All 9 of us hardly spend ANY TIME inside the RV at the same time so it's very easy! 

We ride bikes, walk, jog, swim and go out adventuring every day!

We only have 5 more days here! 

We are taking off the 21st to meet some friends at Disney's Fort Wilderness for the last week of February!
