Just as a little back story, my husband has been driving for his family's trucking company for going on 5 years and most of the last three I've gone with him and when our son came along he started traveling with us too. As a result of his job, we are already very used to sleeping and spending all week and part of the weekends in the truck.
Some things about living on the road are completely normal to us, however, some things will be different and for those reasons we are doing this to begin with.
1. No more paying $1300.00 a month on rent plus utilities, etc.
2. No more rush to get home while we are off 36 hours every week. This also means more time to spend as a family doing fun activities or exploring!
3.We do not have a lease to keep to so we can go wherever whenever!
3. Since we no longer spend our time off at home we have more time for hobbies which we never had before, I.e. working out, gardening, blogging, taking our son to the zoo or park etc...
5. Ability to invest in others: we gave several things away to friends, we are are helping a friend with a garden this next year, and we get to spend more time with our families!
6. No Loud or Pesky Neighbors like when we were living right next to a public university.
7.Nothing to clean besides windows of the truck and wiping down the dash, I used to spend almost our whole weekend off cleaning.
8. Ability to save for a house more easily and quickly.
9. Cultivating grateful attitudes while having only what we need and nothing more.
10. Without a house to live in, I have no excuse not to follow my husband everywhere. Iam so blessed.
We love this new adventure and can't wait to share more about it soon!
