About 3-4 months ago, we decided that life was moving too fast. My job was crazy, Lisa's job was crazy, and we felt like our priorities were out of whack. We were spending too much time on things that weren't important to us and not enough time on the things that were most important to us: family, friends, the outdoors (fly-fishing), travel, and new experiences. Simply put, we wanted a change.
So, rather than continue to look forward to that "someday" down the road when all would fall into place and our life miraculously would reach that balanced place we were hoping for, we decided to make that change happen.
Enter the title to this post. "A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step." That quote from the great Taoist master Lao Tzu sums up where we are. We are standing on the precipice of a journey. Exactly what that journey is, or exactly where it will lead, is not totally clear. What we do know is this. We went down to Durango last weekend and bought a 21 foot travel trailer, which looks a little something like this (just click on a photo to see the big version).
(Sorry about the goofy picture posting, still figuring out this whole fandangled bloggy thing)
Anyway, what we do know is this. We are hooking this trailer up to the back of Sasquatch, the mighty Toyota Tundra, and hitting the road, starting in March. Destination ultimately unkown.
What we do know is this. Our goal is to live slow. Enjoy life, family, and new experiences on the road. Visit friends and extended family. Meet new people. Experience new things. Show Maggie some of the world. See new places and, ultimately, lay the foundation for the next chapter of our lives.
Along the way, we plan to share a few of our stories, thoughts, and photos with you. Please check back often and post a comment if you want (hazing is okay too Ashley).
So, jump on board with us, but remember . . . keep it slow.
