 So, we made another change in our life. We moved from St. Louis Missouri to Memphis Tennessee! 

It was not because we weren't happy living in St. Louis because we were very happy living there and loved the house we lived in, but unfortunately things happen in life that are out of your control. My husband got a new job that lead us here to Memphis. 

I will say that this time around moving was not as easy, everything bad that could happen, happened. I mean there was a point where you just had to laugh when something else bad happened. I was just a never ending of horrible things. If it could go wrong, it did. What was crazy about it was that we were moving 2 hours less than when we moved to St. Louis. At one point it all just felt like a mistake. But we made it through... barely. And here we are.... living in a camper at Graceland Rv Campground. 

You know, I would watch these families living in an old school bus, making it work and living a very happy simple life. I'd think, man I wanna do that. How fun to just pick up and find some place new and exciting! Yeah, it's not like that for us. It didn't start off very well. Our camper is older and wasn't in perfect working order. Little by little we are getting it there so that we can be a little more comfortable. 

Are we planning on living in a camper forever? No. Why are we living a camper? Well, with everything going on in the world with covid (yeah, I know how could covid be affecting our living situation) it has become very hard to find house's or even apartments to live in. We didn't want to do what we did when we were moving to St. Louis where Matthew would move there and live alone until we found a home. And the kids and I could not stay in St. Louis because we STILL, yes, STILL own our house back in Ohio. So there was no way we could afford to have the house in St. Louis, house in Ohio AND him living in Memphis. It would have been too much. We could have went back to Ohio to live with family, but then we would be living away from Matthew again and when we did that when he got the new job in St. Louis it didn't go so well.  

So here we are living our... somewhat best life in a 32 ft. camper in Memphis.
