"Cramper" Life...

For those who already know me, my family and I made a choice to travel together for my husband's pipeline job for 1.5 years at one point, part time travel for about 2 years, settle in AL then LA over a span of 3 years, and now we are part time traveling again.  Here's the brilliant part, we traded in the larger camper for a smaller one before we decided to travel again... Here we are now in MONW (middle of no where) TX with daily rain and minimal square footage.  I am seriously trying not to lose it.  I must remember I can handle my home whether it is under 300 square feet or close to 3000.  I've got this!!

I promise you ALL, I WILL get over my attitude about this and replace it with grace and thankfulness!
