The Things You Are Used To (CM)

8. July 2008

I have been thinking about how a lot of the things I deal with in life and my reaction is just what I am used to. Two example are bugs and diesel.

Day 2 – Do Your Clothes Define You? (KJ)

3. July 2008

3 Comments

I once did a little bit of research on a man named Edward Bernays. He is considered the father of modern public relations. While working on an ad campaign for Macy’s he created and popularized the idea that people should use clothing to define themselves. I think this idea is built in [...]

Was It Good For You? (KJ)

I don’t think it was too good for us. About 40 minutes after my last post, CM announced that he was going in because it was too hot. I was a little disappointed at first, but after he left the bunk cooled off quickly. However, I did fall asleep in that short [...]

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

Question: How will you decide where to go first and what to see?

Leaving the Disney Factory (KJ)

13. June 2008

Are you tired of walking through toy stores and passing entire aisles of toys dedicated to Disney/Pixar movies? I am. The other day we were going somewhere on the highway and CM and actually tried to stay along side an 18-wheeler in order to prevent the kids from seeing a gigantic “Wall-e” billboard. [...]

Books, Knowledge, and Me (KJ)

12. June 2008

We have a ton of books. This morning a book dealer came buy and bought about a half of them and all of our children’s books. I think he gave us a fair price, but I still feel violated. I had a lot of books on different software programs and various internet [...]

Now What? (kj)

We have nearly stretched ourselves to our financial breaking point in order to buy the RV and now that we’ve got it, we can’t move it! Then we see the article in the New York Times about oil shooting up 8% to $138 a barrel just because an investment bank said it would hit $150 [...]

The Best Laid Plans – OUCH! (KJ)

Okay, so have you ever thought you were getting a certain amount of money for something and so before you got it you already planned how you were going to spend it? Well that just happened to me. I thought the last 5% of our RV goal was going to be covered by [...]

Conservation (CM)

3. June 2008

2 Comments

To live by the scarcest means available. That is what it means to me to conserve. So the question here is how much will we conserve by living in a 24′ RV? It seems to be two fold. On the one hand we will have to be very conservative when it comes to water and [...]

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).
