Almost Ready to Leave Jonesboro

We've had a busy week. Joe went to Springfield last week to get the veggie oil system installed (he'll write about that soon---a fun adventure!), came back to Jonesboro for a day, then headed up to MI with a load of our stuff to store at his parent's house....and then drove over to Detroit to get a 5th wheel hitch and our RV! He returned to Jonesboro on Sunday--so we're spending a few last days saying goodbye and getting everything packed onto the RV.

The RV is in great shape. Joe had done a lot of research...but still, we bought it after only seeing pictures. So we were more than pleased to find it in great shape....almost looks new. It's a 2002, 35' Dutchmen with 2 slides (and 2 toilets! More than our house!) When we get to Michigan, we're going to spend some time making some cosmetic changes so that it feels more like "home" to us....we'll be sure to post good before and after pictures!


This picture just gives you an idea of the interior--plus there's a "bunk room" for Rowan, and a bedroom for us with a Queen bed. Not too shabby! That's our neighbor and good friend, Daniel, checking out the RV with us.

Yesterday we spent a good portion of the day saying goodbye to people---a pretty emotional day. By the end, Rowan asked me "are you going to cry again mommy?" Yes, I probably will.

Our plan is to leave Jonesboro on Thursday morning, make a stop at Golden Fuel, make a stop at our good friend Jeff and Ruby's in Missouri, see Joe's grandparents, and land in GR on Saturday or Sunday. This is it!
