Wow, well, the Airstream just got paid for.  The day after we buy it we sell Jen's white '94 Wrangler.  Now, to sell the black one and we'll be sitting pretty.  Now for a remembrance...

Well, we talked about it and now we DID IT!  We found an Airstream within an hour and a half of us for CHEAP!  It's in pretty decent condition as well.  No MAJOR problems, simple cosmetic and upgrades.  Now we just have to sell these 2 Jeeps which we cleaned up and posted on craigslist this weekend.  Got a couple lookers already.  Then, we plan a trip to Atlanta to visit some friends and IKEA for upgrades.


Here's the game plan:  We got the Airstream, so we fix it up as quickly as possible and try to save up some money to survive for a few months around Salt Lake City and then get jobs to save some more.  We also need to find an inexpensive vehicle to pull it.  During that time, we'll gather supplies and make plans for Montello and obviously do some work on the land while we're out there.  The Airstream will be our home wherever we decide to land and we can drag it to Montello on weekends and what not.  We also plan to do quite a bit of traveling once we get out West.  We sorta understand how JT & Sandy felt when they won their 5th wheel on Ebay!  :) 



Long overdue update.

Well, it's been awhile since our last post.  A lot of has happened since February.  To try and make a long story short...we both quit our jobs in Nashville and moved to West Tennessee (2-1/2 hours away) with my sister & bro-in-law to take over a small lunch truck restaurant that they started a year ago.  It's a big hit here in this small town and too much for them to do by themselves with their other businesses.  It's just a stepping stone for us but it helped us to detach ourselves from Nashville and everything keeping us there. Basically, the only things standing between us and Salt Lake City is the restaurant and selling 2 Jeeps.

We're still not sure what date we're going to leave for Utah but it's more real now than ever.  For us to take a leap in the direction we needed is a relief.  It's nice to be close to family here and it's nice that we'll get to spend a lot of time with them before we go but we are so anxious that it's hard to be happy anywhere BUT Montello.

It's been nice to see the direction Geoff & Ellen are headed as well.  That all seems so exciting and we're jealous!  Preston keeps getting to visit his land and the pictures that him and the Trevathans post all the time give us hope.

In the last week, Jen & I have discussed selling all 3 Jeeps, buying an Airstream to fix up and a truck that can haul it.  It's something we've talked about for years as a fun project towards minimalism.  We'll see what happens there.  It'll all depend on how little we can spend and how far we'd have to travel to pick one up.


I hope everyone hasn't forgotten about us!  We're still here and still there in our hearts.  The good news is, it's not simply an "idea" anymore, it's a reality that's just a matter of time.  Keep on keepin on Montello.
