Shall we begin?

The past few years of my life have been pretty crazy! And I don’t mean that in a good way. Yes, I’ve had some AMAZING moments, but unfortunately the bad ones have been outweighing the good. I’m not going to to into all that right now, maybe sometime in the future I’ll share but that’s not really what this blog is meant to be.

I’ve been seeing this great man for about 2 years now and we really enjoy going camping and visiting all these beautiful places. Through our entire relationship we’ve been toying with the idea of one day living in an RV and seeing as much of the United States as possible. He has the ability to work remotely and I’m going to school so I can finish that up remotely and then with my chosen path I too can work remotely, so why not? There’s honestly nothing but benefits! You get to travel and see so many amazing places you’ve read about or seen on T.V., save money, meet amazing people and hear some amazing stories, grow as a person, and the best part is you’re free! If you don’t like where you live, you can just leave! You don’t have anyone breathing down your neck, if you’re wanting some peace and quiet then all you have to do is boondock somewhere and BAM! No one’s around. Feeling social? Go to a RV park or even a meetup and you’ll be in the socializing hot spot. Seriously it’s a win-win.

OK let me get back on track here. So only a hand full of people know this but my boyfriend and I bought ourselves a rig! I couldn’t be happier (unless we were living in it full-time). We’ve been spending as much time as possible going out and trying different situations as much as possible! We picked her up in Reno and stayed in a RV park there (which I LOVE and will go back again) then we stopped in Tahoe for a few nights before bringing her home. The next weekend we tried our hand at boondocking… ok so here’s my problem with boondocking at this stage in our journey. We don’t have a generator, solar, or extra batteries besides the two that came with our rig! Yeeeeeaaaah, not the best of times! Thank god for jumper cables and a awesome truck! We also tried our hands at stealth boondocking that weekend, I’m also not a fan of that lol. Don’t get me wrong, I love boondocking! We had a rooftop tent on our truck that we used all over and it’s great! However with the RV and all the outlets, AC/heater, cooking possibilities, shower, TV, and everything else that makes it more homey, I wanna use it all!

So what to do now? SOLAR! Yup we ordered some batteries and now we need to order some solar panels and slowly start that process because our end game is to be full time RV living! The sooner the better! So because we know nothing about RVing I thought it would be fun to keep a journal of this adventure. Then I thought about how I’d want to share all these different moments with my family (I don’t have friends, I have family! If I let you into my life and heart then you’re stuck with me fam!) Honestly who wants to tell the same story multiple times, ESPECIALLY when it’s an embarrassing one? Plus you forget if you’ve told a specific person so then you end up telling them multiple times and now you’re being annoying SO, why not blog it up and let everyone read to good, bad, ugly, and embarrassing stuff that goes on? Everything I’ve learned about RVing so far is from blogs and YouTube! Maybe I can help someone some day too? I like helping people so why not? Plus I think I’m entertaining haha well I’d probably be more entertaining in person or doing a vlog, but I REALLY don’t want to get all into the editing and buying equipment and all that jazz! I’ve got my school laptop and my cell phone now! PLUS I’M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY! I’ll post pictures on my journey and probably video’s… ok definitely video’s and snapchats and all that ESPECIALLY when I’m bored or we’re on a long drive!

Oh, I thought I had typed up a lot more then I actually have but I was wrong! Eesh I feel like I should say more but really I don’t have anything else to say at the moment because I’m so comfortable in my rocking chair listening to the birds. Super relaxing and I just wanna take a nap! All right I’m gonna post a few pics and call this blog started! SOMEONE GET ME A BOTTLE TO CELEBRATE THE MOMENT!
