Hubs and and I are absolute about things. Big things. Huge decisions.
Sometimes I think we make the huge life decisions on a whim and then run Head first all the way towards those decisions.
Years and years worth of effort.
Then we change our minds.
The thing is... We always decide together.
We talk IT TO DEATH. We rationalize every single senerio. We work. We plan. We hypothesize. We ratonlize.
And we are at that point, place, time again.
It's terrifying and at the same time a huge weight is lifted.
We have a different direction.
It feels so good. It feels right.
But after years of this... This boatlife... This kind of promise, it's like the dream we were dreaming isn't valid.
But it is. Because we have always been dreaming. We have been doing. We have been living a beautiful life of hope and future and love.
We've just realized what freedom means for us.
And there is no point in prolonging a life that isn't ours. It's time to claim the life that is for us.
That's one of the reasons we are moving on and heading back.
So to all of the naysayers and... I told you so's... GUESS WHAT!?
We are still living the dream. Still on our own terms. Still with hope and love and optimism.
It's hard to swallow some of the bumps along the way. It doesn't matter though.
What matters is what's right for our family in this place and in this time.
Very long story short (the ways, hows and whys are for another post), we sold our boat.
Yep. You read that right.
We bought an rv and are now taking this adventure on the road.
Airabess is our family mantra. It was coined by our Coco.
It's our way of life.
Airabess isn't (wasn't) just our boats name~ it's us. It's our freedom, as a family, to want and to be who we are.
With no regrets.
Quick turn around, right. Yeah... We don't do anything by halves.
Naysayers, are you kidding? I am so blown away by how you and your family are traveling thru your lives. Nothing is permanent. But as much as you plan for the future, you are living a life that demands your presence.
