The misadventures

Okay, so I’m going to be real with you. Believe it or not, it’s not all fun times and great memories happening out here. Yes, we do have some great adventures and get to see some pretty amazing sites, but we have had our fair share of mishaps, messes, and melees. Thank God we love each other and can forgive… there’s a lot of forgiveness going on in this 260 sq. ft. space.

I don’t know if you know this, but I used to be a pretty strong individual. I was able to handle a lot of difficult situations without buckling under pressure. Uncertainty was just a part of whatever life threw at me, and I rolled with it. It wasn’t uncommon for me to even seek the unknown and potentially uncomfortable. I enjoyed learning that way.

Not so much anymore.

Having a family changes a lot of that. Having an infant changes it even more. Honestly, most of the time I just want to rock James to sleep in our bedroom and be able to cook in a normal kitchen. I want to be able to give the kids space to play and explore. And all of that is just not possible right now. God willing I will have that again. In the meantime, I’m trying to hold it together and see the positive in all of this. It’s really hard to do, and I want to give up sometimes and move into a hotel. But in the end, I know I will grow from the whole experience. We all will. Wherever we end up, we will be so grateful to be there.
