The last month has been a hard one on our family. Very difficult and emotional times have punched us in the face and, to be honest, Iām not handling it well- AT ALL. Iām trying so hard to be strong .. but what I really want to do is kidnap my giant babies and hide them from the pain š. Hide under our blanket fort watching Winnie the Pooh on repeat like we did when they were little š
I use to think that my purpose was to help other people, but the older I get, the less I like other people, and the more I love my own š¤
Life really does suck sometimes and each one of my five teenage boys grieves in a different way. I know God wouldnāt give me more than I can handleā¦ but have you seen the size of my boys?? They are big boys with big emotions and my heart is breaking for them!
It really is crazy how the timing of events works out when you look back at things. We lost the dad to 3 of our boys within a month of leaving for our adventure - we were gone for their first Father's Day without him and got to go to some of HIS favorite places!
This adventure was quite a bit different than the last, to start there is 10 of us. The original plan was to buy and take a 15 passenger van, however we could not find one because of the current car market.
Next Options:
- Rent one?! - Nope, NOTHING Available or WWAAYY to expensive
.... the Wanderland bus is almost done.... but not really?!
Travels with 10 comfortably but does NOT sleep 10.
We plan to travel for 21 days and have 12 nights already paid for at AirBnBs.
.... we have done NOTHING to the bus mechanically, but it has ran good for us so far.
We have spent less $$ on the bus than a van rental for three weeks would cost us.
F**K IT - WHY NOT?!
