T-32 days

In just 32 days, we hope to have sold our home, all of our belongings, one Toyota pickup truck, leave our jobs, our friends and family behind us for a new adventure. The name of this adventure is Operation Family Truckster or OFT for short. 

"If you're thinkin' of taking the tribe cross country, this is the automobile you should be using... the Wagon Queen Family Truckster. You think you hate it now, but wait until you drive it."

OFT will take us through America, detouring for friends and family, weddings, sights, campgrounds, food, amusement parks and National Parks and Monuments along the way. We have roughly 11,000 miles to cover in just 60 days. Which is why we've got all our best hippie friends "puttin' good energy and positive vibes out there in the universe" and one Southerner who refuses to do that. In lieu of vibes he recommended I give blood. When I told him he should give blood for our cause since he's incapable of vibing the universe he said, "I cant give blood... I get migraines." To which I replied, "DO YOU EVEN WANT US TO GO?!?!? WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!" We settled on giving to charity, which I did later that afternoon. 

We actually did receive an offer on the house that very day... not a fabulous offer, but hopefully it's something to work with. (See 'positive vibes in the universe' above and keep em' coming). 

Fingers crossed, we'll be truckin' real soon.
