So Many Blessings
Aug 27 2009
This entry is from the “other half” of the Wahls Across America Board of Directors. As we enter our 11th month of traveling in an RV, I am full of mixed emotions.
First, I can’t believe we are already at this point. Where did the time go? We have been so busy exploring new sights, learning about our nation’s history and diverse cultures, re-connecting with friends and relatives, and meeting so many new people, that we have barely had time to sit and reflect on what this adventure has done for us, both as individuals and as a family.
Second though, I am starting to feel a bit anxious to “settle down.” I’d love to be part of a community, to get to know my neighbors, to get involved in church and school activities—basically to do what most people do normally. (Notice I didn’t mention “work?” After 22 years of active duty service, I am still contemplating that.)
However, when I think of ending our trip, I feel a little sad! I’ve gotten used to the five of us living in such a small space, and having only 1 bathroom to clean. When we get tired of the local weather, we simply move on. There are no crazy hectic kid schedules—juggling piano lessons, soccer practice, scouting, and homework are not challenges for me now.
But, the journey continues and we have more people and places to see, as well as find a job (for Tom) and a place to call home.
Yes it is now your time to stay home with the children and put Tom to work full time.
But then again I know the kids will have all sorts of activities and a hectic schedule so maybe you might want to work full time 
Live close to us…we’ll help you juggle! Of course, we need a place to live ourselves…..
@Susan – you’ll move from CO if we go there.
