Day 1

Curtis & Lyndsey's Step by Step Guide to Adventure:
1.  Sell our house
2.  Sell most of our belongings
3.  Quit our jobs
4.  Sell my car
5.  Turn our truck into our new home for the next year
6.  Hit the road!

That sounds like a solid idea, right?   right?

Today is what I'm calling Day 1.  We're technically at step 4 of our plan, but today is the first full day with no house, no jobs, and no car (for me).  We'll see how this all sinks in once the holiday weekend is over and our urge to go to work needs to get reprogrammed.

Monday's to-do list is to tackle the platform and storage for the truck that will hold all of our gear.  I've sketched out the plans for a two level system with gear below and a sleeping platform above.  Hopefully my measuring and planning will come together smoothly and all the totes will fit just right with plenty of room for our bunk.

We'll have more later as the truck house starts to take shape and so much more once we take to the road.  For now, let the countdown officially begin for our departure on Sunday, September 18th.
