I went out to take a picture of something pertaining to our great adventure, but was captivated by this butterfly on a lilac. And here you have it. The capture for our next year. It embodies hope. Hope for so many things. It's going to be a good year.

In light of my present need for order, I have decided to make an easy page to refer to and follow along this road to financial freedom/extended camping trip/adventure of insanity.
So, if you were wondering what on earth is going on in the life of the Riddles six, here you have it, in chronological order:
April, 2010
The Words that Changed our Lives, in which I unveil the great adventure.
The Process, in which the process of letting go to move forward occurs.
Giggle, in which the decision to laugh about the circumstance is made.
Sweet Dreams, in which dreams are made about my little one's future and we find peace.
5 Each, in which the practicalities set in and downsizing begins.
The Reality of Downsizing, in which we take a look into the new, yet temporary reality.
I've Gone All "Reality Show", in which we find out what beloved kitchen appliances make the cut.
1 Week Left & It Just Keeps Getting Better, in which three happy surprises are gushed about.
6 More Days ~ On the Couch, in which I have a slumber party with Jeremy.
Home, in which I quickly share the first few days of life in the trailer.

ReplyDeleteMy husband and I decided to take on a similar adventure almost 6 months ago with our 4 kids....I can relate,even with what little I have read in your adventure, to what you had gone through-and I look forward to reading the rest in the very near future. From my heart to you, thank you for sharing your story!
