RV Virgins No More (KJ)

24. June 2008

I am writing you from the top bunk of our RV. It’s a little after midnight, but I can’t get to sleep.

Long story short, we failed miserably at meeting our goal! We decided to take the kids to the Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. We actually had a great time, but that meant that we didn’t get anything done with the packing the RV. Sunday we put a lot of [...]

Hindsight 20/20 (KJ)

Most of the time when people say that, it’s because they are regretting some past action. Maybe they went right when they should have went left. Maybe they left a secure job for a higher paying job and then got fired. Today I can honestly say that I’m glad I made the [...]

Self-Psychoanalysis (KJ)

So I have two sewing machines. (Well actually, one is a sewing machine and the other is a serger.) This summer I was planning on buying a coverstitch machine. There’s only one problem: I rarely sew. In the last year, I’ve probably only sewn 1 thing — a pair of pajama pants for [...]

CM & I want EVERYTHING out of the house by Sunday. That’s going to give us a week to get all of the walls painted. It’s a tall order, but I think we can do it. I guess it’s mostly me, because CM is constantly reminding me that all of this stuff [...]

CM vs. KJ (KJ)

2 Halloweens ago, CM & I decided to buy costumes that would last for the ages. So we bought a Ketchup & Mustard Costume set! How awesome is that? Too awesome for words, I know. And now he wants to toss it! What? So the jumbo space bag that [...]

Cable TV, The Internet, and Other Conveniences (KJ)

This topic has been on my mind for quite some time now, but I didn’t know how to address it. Like I said before, we are not simply moving into an RV, we are supposed to be changing our lives. That being said, next week we are turning in our cable boxes. [...]

Time For Some Horn-Tootin’ (KJ)

I am on my way out the door, but I’ve got some good news: I kicked purging-butt yesterday! I got rid of a ton of books and clothes and other crap that I didn’t need. I figured I spent so much time on the days that I can’t bear to get rid of anything, that I [...]

Hollywood, Small Towns, and Me (KJ)

19. June 2008

I am just going to put this out there. I have seen so many scary movies that take place in small towns, that I’m a little scared to visit them. Maybe it’s just that positive movies about small towns just don’t become blockbusters. While films like “Jeepers Creepers”, “A Time to Kill”, [...]

On Friday, I found out my next assignment! We had to choose a list of ten places we wanted to go. I was really crushed when we got the list and Japan wasn’t on there. However, when life gives you lemons…..

Long story short — We’re moving to Korea!!! Someone told me “It’s just like Japan, only dirtier.” We’re all super excited. We plan to use Korea for a launching pad to Asia. We’d like to go to Japan, China, and Thailand!!

Woohooo!

Wow!

So I was setting up another blog and I ran across this one!

So we eventually we had to leave Glacier National Park. A reader of our blog had suggested that we travel to Bozeman hot spring and Butte. I was pretty psyched about taking the advice of a complete stranger, and I was surprised that CM seemed to be going for it as well. About 200 miles later our RV broke down.

We were at Glacier National Park for only 3 days, but so much happened. I just need to share a few more things and then I will move on to the calamity that struck us after we left.

I had really been feeling like the trip was a bust. I had wanted to show the kids all of these different things and they really weren’t too interested. CM and I were feeling that we spent more time with our back on them (because we were driving) than we did when we had an apartment. Some days it seemed like the only time that we really talked to them was to tell them “Stop hitting” or “Share!” I really felt that the hike in Montana really changed that.

Two words: Pure exhaustion. At the time of my last post, we were having terrible problems getting any kind of internet signal and we were headed to Glacier National Park in Montana. Well, when we got there what we thought was a 1.5 mile hike, turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike (thank you, CM).
