First Trip: Amos and Big Mama

Good Morning! We’re locked and loaded (literally), heading to THE BEACH!!!! Ya’ll, camper life is not for the faint of heart. We were up at 5:30 this morning getting things situated, packed up, and still deciding what to keep and what to send to goodwill or storage. Downsizing from almost 3,000 square feet to under 500 has definitely been a challenge. Also, I’ve just learned I have hoarding tendencies… Seriously though, I brought all 9 house plants with me! Like, who flippin’ needs 9 house plants in a 445 square foot 5th wheel??? Me, that’s who. The crazy plant lady.

We closed on the house yesterday. Everything went great. Copper, the kitty cat settled in with Mrs. Fran, our neighbor. We were able to spend a little bit of time with them both before leaving. Honey and Thor went to their new home yesterday as well with Ms. Tammy. Huge shout out to Mercy, our realtor for putting up with us the last 10 + years. Thank you to everyone who has helped us and prayed for us and this transition. We appreciate you more than you know.

All 4 of us have settled in well to camper life. It was a tad stressful yesterday trying to get everything done, but we made it out alive. The kiddos have adjusted just like they always do. Always ready for an adventure. We decided the truck and camper needed names, so Amos and Big Mama is what the kids came up with. Extra points if you can name the movie it came from. Just passed Clanton, still have a few hours until we reach the salty sea water and that amazing gulf breeze. This mama is tired y’all, I’m taking a nap! Stay tuned..
