Let’s talk fears Am I SUPER excited about this new journey?? Absolutely YES! Am I scared, too? Absolutely YES!
What am I scared of?
It would probably be easier to ask what I am not scared of, but just to give you an idea…
- I’m scared of missing family and friends
- I’m scared of leaving the towns where I am comfortable and know where things are located
- I’m scared of missing being able to tell the kids to go outside and play
- I’m scared of not having a job
- I’m scared of having too much together time with my kids
- I’m scared of my kids hating it
- I’m scared of selling everything and then hating it myself
- I’m scared the camper will fall apart
- I’m scared of never having alone time
- I’m scared I won’t be able to drive the truck and fifth wheel…
Despite these fears, there are 2 important things that I know to be true:
1. I can’t let my fears control my life.
2. If I let my fears win, I would regret not trying.
If you ask my husband, he will tell you that I worry about things before I even have things to worry about. This is probably why it took me a while to see how this adventure could be both scary and amazing.
So yes, this could end up as a failure. We could end up having to start all over again. And after MANY late night talks, we have decided that this is a chance we are willing to take. Why? Because it could also end up as a life-changing family adventure we would never have gotten if we had been too scared to try in the first place.

I’m so happy for all of you. This is going to be a great new adventure. As a current homeschool mom I can tell you there are days where I look at these two and think, “Why and I doing this?” But those days are very few and far between. The togetherness makes them stronger and better children and adults. 😘 Have fun, let your hair down, and be ready to enjoy all the fun sights!
