Hello Again, New Adventures Ahead

January 1, 2019 by Mariah Leave a Comment

It’s so weird to know where to start, to come back to this space and summarize the past 3 years (I don’t even know how it could be three years!).

So let’s start with some of why I’m firing FBB back up and writing this today. The long and the short of it is we are starting a new adventure, and I want to document it.

I never intentionally decided to abandon this space for so long to begin with, I never really called it quits, I just didn’t have the time/energy.

I always wanted to come back to add back in our travels/our adventures/our lives. FBB very much acts as my scrapbooking, it’s a wonderful way for us to re-live our adventures and mark time. Plus I can never remember the names of things so it’s a great resource for me to just tell people to look it up on the blog. 😜

I’ll write another post and try to summarize some of what the last three years have held (don’t worry it’s not going to be a novel).

I almost feel like a different person writing this, starting my own business has been challenging, but also a journey of extreme personal growth, and self evaluation. It’s crazy how much I feel like I’ve changed mentally.

But back to the subject at hand, Philip and I are hitting the road to live full-time in an Airstream Globetrotter starting in March. 😁 We are both working full-time still and plan on staying mostly on the West coast.

We are committing to 1 year on the road, and then we will see what happens next. 🤷‍♀️And I’m going to be documenting it all right here! I’m excited and nervous.

How did this come about? Well, after a trip to Denver in April (which was a great trip), I decided we were never going to get to see ALL THE THINGS. That our time was limited and there was so much to see and do and experience that could never be done just by vacationing.

P use to joke/mention living in an RV years ago. So one Saturday morning, I said what if when our lease is up, we hit the road. And well, now we own a big ass truck and an Airstream.

I hope you will join us for our year on the road. I’ll be sharing some of the logistics of the rv life but mostly the adventure of places to see, foods to eat, and new beverages to try. All the baggage just now fits inside a space smaller than our current bedroom.

2019 the year we live in an Airstream…

I’m Going to be a Cali Girl

New Adventures via Food, Booze, & Baggage

I have some major news…P and I are moving to California, specifically to San Diego!! I’m freaked out and SO excited all at the same time!! Basically, I’m flipping my F-ing lid 🙂 We are thinking it will happen September (ish).

Ok, so this is going to be a short post, because my mind is fried and I cannot focus. Any recommendations on where to live, things to do, places to eat and places to drink? I know that San Diego has over 80 breweries….WHAT!!?!

Things I’m worried about  (there is a million things I’m worried about but here are a few):

  • How are we going to survive a cross-country road-trip in a Mini with a Lab and a kitty? Even without the animals, I’ve never driven that far before.  I’m dead set on driving, I will not fly Sam. I read this terrible post about a dog dying on a plane and just will not risk it.
  • Moving cross-country and all the logistics of that.
  • Finding a place to live (ok this is like #1), also despite San Diego being rumored a dog friendly city, it does not seem to hold true for the rental market.
  • Fitting-in, in California (actually I’m not overly worried about this, as P points out I can get along anywhere). Still.
  • Moving to a city I’ve never even visited.
  • Getting in shape, since I plan on living in a bathing suit half the year.
  • Being cold most of the year…lower 70s does not seem warm enough to me.

Worries aside, I’m over the moon excited!! I love being able to have a new adventure and I’m so grateful for the opportunity! My mind is spinning with all the new opportunities and planning to do!

Confession: I’m writing this after 3 bottles of champagne 🙂 okay two champagne and one cava. Stop grilling me 😉
