  1. We do plan on hanging some of my stuff, but a lot of it is larger and won't fit. I have a large picture that I took myself when I was in Russia and my dad made it into a canvass for me. It actually is over 3 canvasses and is the largest thing we have on our walls. I doubt it will fin on the RV walls, but it is my favorite. I will probably hang it up in the mobile home that my in laws are letting us use as our permanent residence/domicile. Some of the smaller stuff will definitely go in our RV, though.
  2. Joining the 2019 class and wow, now I feel a bit impulsive. So many people here have been planning this for years. My husband and I talked about living in an RV full time a couple of months ago and decided against it because I am not a minimalist. Actually, giving up my decorations is what I am having the hardest time with. Not all the other stuff, just all the pictures and art I have on the walls. Anyways, the reason we were considering living in an RV full time is because of my husband's job. We move frequently, at least once a year, usually more like every 6 months. It can be unpredictable as well. Sometimes they only give a couple of weeks notice of when you need to move. With our last move my husband got a week and a half notice. I actually had to stay behind with our 9 month old and 3 year old for 3 weeks trying to get the apartment packed and cleaned, then we had to pay considerable fines for breaking our lease early. We are looking at moving again in the next couple of months and my husband again brought up buying an RV and living in it. I think he was surprised when I actually jumped on board this time. As much as I love my pretty pictures everything else about living in an RV will be better. I love the idea of being able to settle into our home and not have to pack it all up again in a few months. Also, my husband and I are both excited about the idea of traveling more. Sometimes there can be a few weeks in between jobs for my husband, so we can go where ever we want in those times. My husband is also thinking about getting into something where he would only be at a job for a few weeks at a time, so we could travel even more. Anyways, we started talking about this again a couple of months ago. I became slightly obsessed with it and started spending all my free time on the computer researching it. Last Saturday we went and looked at some (after I had looked at more than a hundred online), and we decided that this is for sure what we want to do. We are in the process of getting financing sorted out and will buy the RV as soon as we get that sorted. We are wanting to do this a bit quickly because, while my husband thinks his work will be transferring him again in early June, there is always the possibility of him getting transferred earlier, and we would prefer to already be settled by the time that happens. It also helps that we are renting an apartment on a month to month basis since we didn't want to have to deal with breaking another lease. We are wanting to get a 40 foot 5th wheel. We have not chosen an exact one, but we know the floor plan we want, one with a small room in the middle for the kids, and we have found a few that we like. The dealership that we will probably buy from has an open house this Saturday, so we might go and try to narrow down exactly what we want. If financing comes through by then we might go ahead and buy something. I am really nervous, but also super excited to be starting this adventure!
