US

A little background on Todd and I.

We met in MD where I lived my whole life, Todd had recently moved there for a job. He turned out to be my boss, we ended up dating then 3 months later we decided to get married in July 2009. After being married he got a job offer in Hawaii so in July of 2009 we started our journey together.

 I was 22 he was 41 yes there is a 18 year age difference but whatever, we get along better than most.
We moved to Hawaii and lived there for about 2 months things did not work out so we requested to move back to the states, we decided to go Michigan where Todd is from and we lived there for 6 months.  Todd got a great job offer in Arizona with a very large account in California, so we went to CA.  

So in California we lived in a hotel for 2 months.  Todd got the account straightened out and then off to work at the corp offices in Arizona.  We went back to Michigan and pack up everything and moved to Arizona. We lived in Arizona for almost 2 years. I fell in love with Arizona we made a lot of life long friends through a poker club we played in.I decided I missed snow so back to Michigan, After being there most of the winter, we decided that we needed to be somewhere warm so 

our next state was Florida where we lived on 2nd street in Jacksonville Beach where from my balcony I woke to the beach and ocean every morning.  Then Todd started his own business in Facilities maintenance and picked up two corporate accounts on the west side of Jacksonville to Orange Park far away from the beach.  We lived there for almost a year.
Todd and I were researching workcamping and becoming full time RVers. So in about 2 months time we decided that we were going to start the ultimate journey living the full-time rver dream. So we started to downsize all our stuff and decide what really needed to go with us and we have a HUGE yard sale and sell everything else. 9 days before we were supposed to be out of the house I was admitted into the hospital

 to have emergency gall bladder surgery I was in the hospital on the June 21st surgery was on June 23rd I was released June 24th and were were supposed to be out of our house on June 27th. So my wonderful husband did all the hard work to get ready for our journey I could not do anything because I could not lift anything for 2 weeks. We get to the day we are supposed to be out most of the stuff is in the camper and we decide that we need one more day to square things away. So the last day we put finishing touches on packing everything in and the next morning June 28th we packed the last bit in the house and said our goodbyes to the house and to Florida and we started our maiden journey June28th 2014 it was scary at first and felt different but we knew it was exactly what we wanted to do with our lives!!!!
