A summary with the good, bad, and the ugly

Well now that we made it here I feel, I would say the best word is, deflated.
So many days working so hard for this goal to get here and then we are here and the hustle and bustle of establishing our family here makes me a little lost.
So what I'm going to do is hopefully each day take a part our trip on this blog, just to give me something nostalgic to do....
I first need to point out that when Jeremy and I bought our 26ft. home on wheels we kind of just jumped off the cliff and did it. Admittedly Jeremy did a ton more research than I did (shocker) but we literally one night decided to do this and we did it. Most books like "RVing for dummies" and "10 must know tips before buying an RV" say to rent an RV for a small trip (not 18days) before purchasing, we don't do that we jump and hold our breath and hope we land on something soft!!
We honestly weren't sure how we were going to like it or eachother after 18 days.
I'd like to report it an outstanding experience. I truly believe every family should do something different and off the wall together. Not specifically cramming yourself into an RV for 18 days while touring 4000 miles but something LIKE this, definetly something that takes you outside of your comfort zone. You get to know eachother all over again, the good, the bad, the ugly.....
The kids sayings become even more hilarious than when your life is day to day because you ARE eachothers entertainment.....
Sean asking if God or Jesus has a honey? (Sean is the only 5 year old male child that i know that can't wait to get married, so he's very concerned when someone is not, he is very distressed that God and not even Jesus are married and have a honey to share life with...)
Evan screaming out that "SEE MOM I TOLD YOU THAT SEAN IS ACTING LIKE A KING"....what? what am I supposed to say to that? Well what i did do was turn around and ask Sean if he would please stop acting like a monarchial tyrant....it seemed to work...
and then
Aaron, o man, Aaron, we have lovingly nicknamed him the FLEE (flea) Foremost Leading Expert on Everything. The child is a running tape of facts, and I mean running.....
The one negative that I do need to point out is that living in an RV can sometimes feel like well, you know those days that you seem to keep stubbing the same toe, hitting your funny bone repeatedly, or knocking your head on the same dad gum kitchen cabinet? Well this is most days in an RV, everytime I opened a cabinet to grab a bowl or a pan, something would attack me water bottle, plates, graham cracker boxes...etc. or you go to brush your teeth and 5 different things fall out of the medicine cabinet all landing on your miniscule baby toe......the words that would fall from my lips sometimes made since and sometimes should not have been said!!!!
But all in all we had a good time, I have lots of specific stories and I will post those and pictures to go with sooon......
