Hello There! 


Much has changed since the last time I wrote! I didn't read the last post, so I don't even know what was happening but I'll fill you in on what's been going on over the last couple of months.

The biggest thing is that we sold our home in Lakeland!! It was on the market for 30 (very stress filled) days! In those 30 days we only had 4 showings - that alone was stressful. As the days drug on, and we had very little interest I continuously told myself "it only takes one."  It only takes one showing to sell your home. Plus a whole lot of prayer & guidance.

I only thought those first 30 days was stressful - The 30 days after we went under contract was even worse! Moving is not fun in a normal situation but our situation was ANYTHING but normal! Not only were we moving out of our home but we were moving into a travel trailer. a 36' travel trailer. 288 square feet, to be exact.

From a 2100 sqft house on 1/2 ac with a storage shed & a garage to a 288sqft travel trailer.  Yah. Bring.On.The.Stress.

Thankfully I had the foresight to sell most of our big belongings before we even listed our house for sale; it was the smaller stuff that drove me crazy!

Bye-Bye Crestwood Street 

Hello tiny livin'

We've been in the travel trailer full time for just about a month - We stayed in my Mom's house for the first month. We slowly moved our stuff into the camper & set up our new home.

I think we have adjusted pretty well - It's only been a month, so I don't have much experience under my belt....ask me in a few more months.

I will say that the hardest part, for me, has been sleeping. I sleep terribly. Aubrey is Aubrey. She's not a big sleeper. Her wake up time is 5:15am - every day, no matter what.

Other than that, I don't feel like a whole lot has changed. We have less stuff, a lot less stuff. We play outside. We play LOTS of playdoh! Color lots of pictures! Trips to the playground are fun. We love SeaWorld & we love playing with cousins & friends!


We LOVE SeaWorld! We took Liam with us for a fun-filled cousin day! 

We went camping in our pop-up for 4 days with our best friends the Kemper Fam 
Oh, and Paisley got a horse! His name is EZ! 








 We also spent 6 days in Daytona Beach when Daddy had to work in Port Orange! 



Overall, this has been a great move for our family! We are enjoying the intimacy that living in close quarters creates. The kids don't argue any more or any less. They have plenty of room to play. I think most people would be surprised at how much space they actually have & how much they actually need. They don't miss any of the toys we got rid of - mostly because they never played with them anyways.


It's been great catchin' up! See ya soon.

Harn's out.

don’t stay gone so long next time
