The Journey Begins... Late June 2011

Okay!  So what is going on with the Ballingers?  Many of our friends and family are asking this very question!

First, let me assure you that we haven't lost our minds  - although some days it feels like we are very close :) !!  We are still at least 4 years from being able to retire and we are relatively healthy!  Then how do we explain the seemingly radical and strange notion to sell our house and a good portions of our stuff and move into our 5th wheel trailer?  Like my Dad used to say, "It's just time!" 

We have been talking about going full time RVing for a long time now, so it just seems "like time" to make the transition.  No, we are not heading out on the road just quite yet!  We still have our jobs and in this economy a job in hand is worth alot!   What better time to begin the downsizing process and learn what we can live without  and what we really need. Better to find out before we hit the road if this is really something that we can do!  We will either just love it or kill each other within several months!  :)

And so our journey begins ...  we pray that you will enjoy reading our blog.  If not, no worries!  We're inviting you once and returning is your option!  Feel free to share it with others that might like to read along.  We would love to hear your comments and thoughts!
