It Begins...

Remember the scene in the Wizard of Oz where the tornado encompises the whole house and everything is flying around it in utter chaos? Well these past two and a half months have been just that. My husband Phillip just finished and graduated dental school, we got to go on a 7 day Disney cruise, we had family in town for visits, we took a weekend trip to St. George with friends, we went on a road trip to Idaho to drop off our small car and visit family, and then we headed back down to Utah to visit more family. Somehow we managed to make it home to Las Vegas on Monday night (June 25) in one piece. However, we didn't get much time to settle down because on Thursday of that same week the movers were at our house bright and early to pack us up and kick us out.

By Friday night our house was completely empty and everything we owned was boxed up and in 8 crates waiting to be shipped to Japan. One day we had a house that was fully furnished and then I blinked and our house was completely empty.

We started off the summer with 3 motor vehicals, a home full of appliances, a playground in our backyard, an inflatable swimming pool, and loads of toys. As time got closer to moving day we began auctioning off all of our things until we were left with 1 car, no appliances, no playground, no pool, and only one toy per kid. Fortunately for our kids, we didn't actually sell all of their toys. They were safely packed away on their way to Japan.

We loaded up into our house on wheels with what we managed to keep hidden from the movers and started our nomadic journey for the summer.
