The Unasked Question (KJ)

3. June 2008

As you all know as we get closer and closer to picking up our RV I’m freaking out more and more. A couple is coming to pick up the last of our couches today and I dragged myself out of bed to get dressed. Then out of the blue a thought hit me; [...]

“Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” (KJ)

That’s the name of the book I bought when I was trying to be a better Mary Kay salesperson. I never finished it, but I see it on the book shelf from time to time and I think about reading. I’ve been thinking about fear a lot lately. We just watched “Apocalypto” the other [...]

Somehow we got the interest of a journalist here in NYC, and he did a small write up on us. Here is the link if you are interested in viewing it. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/05/brooklyn_parents_leave_it_all.html I have to say that he is a great writer. How he took a short interview and made it seem interesting amazes me. I loved [...]

What’s the Plan? (CM)

29. May 2008

0 Comments

What is most important in life? That is the basic question my family is dealing with. When I look on my life the things I cherish are the things I’ve done, not the things I have bought. Although possessions are great in the moment, I never look back and say remember when we had that [...]

Show Me The Money (KJ)

A lot of people have written me concerning our Fire Sale ads on Craigslist and eBay. If we sell just the few things that we were written about then we will easily meet our goal and be on our way to starting a new life. However, there’s a huge difference between writing to say you’re [...]

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).
