When we started this path in October 2005 and I can still remember sitting on the couch in the den with Joeleen.  She said, "Why couldn’t we just travel all the time and live out of an R.V.?"  It was weird to think about.  "Can we do that?"  Was what we kept asking each other.  We have a 3 year old, a dog, 2 cats, we live close to all of our family, what about our house, how would we make money, how can we afford an R.V., were just some of the concerns…and still are for the most part. 

    It wasn’t but a few days after we made the decision to follow Jesus completely that we were given a 99 Chevy Silverado free!  Joeleen’s mom said God had been telling her for a couple of months to give us the truck, it wasn’t until after we made the decision (which she didn’t know about) that she actually gave it to us.  That was a blessing and a nice confirmation.  Also, my son had a seizure right after this decision was made, that was an attack…but still a nice confirmation that we were becoming a threat to the devil.  We made it through the situation fine.

    So, here it is, exactly 1 year later and what has happened??  We have our R.V.!  It was a blessing from Joeleen’s mom and dad in Oklahoma City.  So, here are some of the pictures of me working on it (it’s a little older so it needs a few repairs, no sweat though!).

These are some pictures I took when I first saw it.
 
 
 
 
Paw Paw in the trailer the 1st night. He’s the overseer. His demands are "Milk, Movie, and go night night in the trailer.
Joeleen doing what she does best!! Throwing stuff away.
Look at ‘er go!!!
Here we go…there were ants crawling all over the right bed, so I had to take a look.
She doesn’t stop….ever.
Break time.
He’s out!
Do I look like a man??
No, now I look like a man!!!
Oh crap…what have I just done?
Just look away and maybe it will fix itself.
Nope.
What in the world!?
Yeah…I really messed up…I should’ve left it all alone.
Can we just paint over this?
It looks fine!!! Nobody will notice.
Nice cabinet though.
How did all these ants get here?
I think I’m in a little deep.
Definitely too deep. I know nothing about how to fix this.
   Or this…
   Or this…
Yeah…I know….I have no idea how I’ll put this back together…anybody have duct tape?
Ahhhhh…new wood.
This is the front…Joeleen ripped out all the carpet. Notice that little corner at the left…yeah, I’m going to have to redo the front also.
STOP JOELEEN!!!!!
This was Joeleen making more work for me.
Look at that!! 3 new pieces of wood…it’s like I know what I’m doing.
‘At a girl…go’head.
Floor….replaced!!!! We danced in the corner and it held us up!
Would you look at that…
Back left corner…done! On to the right..I think I can actually do this.
