Today we take a big step towards our dream. Terri is home having a huge yard sale. We had been going through the house, gathering items that we no longer want or need and know that we will not be able to take them with us. It took us a couple of weeks to get prepared and we know that we will probably have to do it again at least 1 more time. I am hoping that the next time, we can just open the house up and let people pick what ever they want and make us an offer.
We actually went to an RV show on Sunday to look at some 5Th wheels just to see what's out there. Unfortunately the RV show was not a very big one and there really wasn't many 5Th wheels that would work for us or that we liked. About the only brand that peaked any interest was the Cardinal line by Forest River. But, all was not lost, cause while we were driving to and from the show we had a chance to do some planning and form a rough time line of the way we see things going. We actually had talked about selling the TT and tow truck at the yard sale but decided against that. We decided start by focusing on our debt first and get that out of the way. We hope to be done with everything except the house, TT and a little left on the truck by the end of 2010. This will free us up to start to look for or 5'er and start to get the house ready to sell sometime in 2011. Once those 2 things are complete we would move into the 5th wheel and live in the area for another year or 2 to save up a nest egg and finish other preparations. We know that we will have to work while we are on the road so we are looking at some different options of work available and opportunities that we may be able to do with our current jobs (if any one has some suggestions, let us know). Our original target date was 10/7/2012 and we are shooting for that, we may just have to extend it a little longer if needed. We know that it will be worth it and we want to make sure that nothing stops us from living this dream.
Well I will try and keep you updated of our progress as we go along. Oh yeah, you may actually get to read Terri's perspective as she has said that she would like to blog. She likes to write and I personally think she does a good job.
