La vida loca


Rachel's folks at the Pyramids in Egypt this Monday! How cool is this?!?

Sorry to have gone so long between posts- we are livin’ la vida loca- (also sorry for the Ricky Martin quote). In the past two weeks we held our yard sale and peddled off all of our wares, also we sold our house and finally we have been house-sitting for Dan’s folks, who were in Thailand- wow do we have jet setting families or what !?! Wonder where we got our wanderlust???

In the midst of all of this we have been trying to pack up the rest of our belongings and putting our ducks in their various rows prior to our departure. With the sale of our house comes an expedited moving plan. We had sort of counted on being able to gradually move out throughout June, but now we are planning on being in the camper on June 13th. This leaves a mere 17 days for us to condense our lives down from 1000 square feet into our 8x11 mobile aluminum can.

Additionally I am training my replacement at work and since Dan’s mother is also my boss, I was training while filling in for her. My normal amount of free time (and thereby blog maintenance time) at work has been greatly diminished.

I am guessing things aren’t going to get any calmer in the next few weeks so I trust you’ll all forgive me if my posts are infrequent until we are on the road. However, I am happy to answer any specific pre-trip questions if you’d care to email us. Cheers to all, and check back soon.
