The Midwest (Week 3 & 4)
I have found myself feeling sentimental about home and reminiscing about the beginning of this journey. It was almost exactly one year ago that we packed up the camper and started off across the country to my first assignment. It seems like forever ago and yesterday at the same time (time is strange that way).…

The Midwest (Week 2)
My husband made it home from Arizona this past week. He dropped the horses off in Texas and came to visit us (hopefully we find a place for them here soon). Can you tell how much Wookie missed him? I think the feeling was mutual. The weather has been bitter cold here and it snowed…

We explored the surrounding area, attended the Pony Express Rodeo in Gothenburg, and found a terrific state lake/beach area to…

Week 11 (Somewhere in the mountains)
How beautiful is this place?! We found it by happenstance while my husband was visiting. The weather was hot, so we searched for a place to swim and found this! It is considered the local swimming pool, but is more like a swimming hole. This naturally warm pool is fed by a spring and the…
