Proud of the House We Built

I came across Brooks and Dunn's song "Proud of the House We Built" today.  We might live in a messy, crazy, toy filled, loud, sticky, leaky roof, shoes everywhere house; but it is ours.  We found a perfect life there and I could not be happier. Don't let what people might think of your house stop you from living in a cluttered world.  It is not about a spotless perfect house.  I truly believe the dirtier your house, the happier you are (not like gross dirty to clarify).  It means you live life to the fullest.  You live and love there.  And it is not about where you call home.  It's about who you call it home WITH.  We turned our house into a home and we are incredibly proud of that life. 

For the love of Manwich

Travis and I are all out fans of a good can of Manwich.  I was terribly sick yesterday (ewwwwwwww as Travis would say) and did not feel like cooking much of anything.  And as a college student we don't have any money! $350 a week just does not cut it.  So we shop at Aldi and buy everything cheap, off brand, and in bulk.  Manwich is one of those things. Nothing beats a warm sloppy joe after a cold day of walking all over campus! A pound of hamburger, a can of Manwich, and a couple boxes of knock off mac and cheese and we are two happy people.  Travis usually likes simple stuff like that better than a meal that I slave in the kitchen for hours over anyways.  Works for me!

Plus little does he know he'll be eating it for lunch today :)

And so it begins!

Well everyone, I am officially starting my blog.  Travis and I just bought our new motorhome and hopefully it will be ready to go in the next two months! I could not be more excited.  It's old (frowny face) but it it ours completely ours! It is our first "house" that we will be owning together and getting to start a new adventure.    

My dream would to be able to take it south (hopefully Florida starting in January!) and be a work-camper.  What's a work-camper you ask?  Well I would be working at a campground in exchange for a site. Working 20 hours a week and I don't have to pay rent or electric...I'M IN! Now I just have to find the work camper job.  Anyone out there know of anything...Let me know!

This week will be filled with cleaning and tuning up of our new unit with the hopes of taking it home in about a month to show the family! Wish us luck!
