1st Blog by Tim

 We're not even on the road yet and I feel compelled to blog because my wife and kids did already!  Pathetic, eh?  Actually, I think I have something to say.  This is going to be a wonderful experience for our family to go RVing over the next year.  I really don't how much I will blog, but it could be considerable since my wife is doing all the typing.  :-)  This certainly is a summer like no other summer we've experienced before in our family.  Now I know why the biblical account of the Israelites leaving Egypt came off the way it did.  Just picking up one family and putting them on the road is an ordeal.  Think of a million plus!  Oy veh!  I don't want to repeat my wife's blog, but this house has been a major pain in the boot-ay to get ready for sale.  I'm grateful again to God for a father who taught me how to take care of almost anything from a homeowner's perspective!  Did I mention I hate painting?  Right up there with one arm paper hanging.  I think one reason I'm looking forward to travelling in the RV is that I won't be inside this house looking at another project that needs to be done.  While I'm very grateful for our home, I believe I'll be even more appreciative when I'm not working on it anymore.  I'm counting the days now.  17 days until I officially start my sabbatical.  48 days until we roll up I-75 in a 31 foot class B RV.  And who knows how many more days before we have no more debt!  Hallelujah!  We'll keep you posted.  In His Love,  Tim.
