While searching for a Bird

     I think I should start by saying that first and foremost our children and our family are most important to us.  I am sure that most don't understand our lifestyle and that is okay.  But please keep your judgements to yourself and stop asking when we are going to settle down.  We are completely content in our life and so are our children. We are settled, God comes first and our family next.

The beautiful Southern California coastline. 


    Things have been going well.  We set out in June to find a Bluebird bus so that we could travel safely with our daughter. I spent the two- three prior years looking at bluebird buses, motorhomes, class A's, class C's.  This is a huge undertaking but it was so worth it.

Beautiful and hot our next stop. Phoenix Arizona.  This is where we call home physically. Our home is where God is at that is where we are all at.  God is everywhere! 


    Our daughter has to travel for her medical care.  We made a choice to sell our home and our belongings and give away the rest in order to rehabilitate our child.  This is happening.  We are thankful for those who are supportive in this whatever means that you have contributed. Our only desire and goal as individuals and a family is to make her well.



    This is not an easy task always and it requires almost always giving more of yourself and being a servant rather than being selfish. This is not for the selfish at heart. I have no me time and if that is what it takes then so be it. I am not suppose to spend my life on this earth to serve myself. Jesus never did that and neither will I.

  We left in June and have covered a lot of states. We looked at several buses with different brands. We looked new, used and some where in between.  We met some really wonderful and helpful people along the way that helped to educate us on the coaches and it was really wonderful to have that help.

   We finally found a coach in Missourri.  The gentleman needed to sell it. It was Fourteen years old. We found one in Tennesse as well but the one in Missourri we looked at several times and it just felt like home.  It looked like home and it was immaculate. Well we have had to replace a few things that wear out after almost Fifteen years some hoses, tires, etc. We wanted to stay in it and travel to see what sort of modifications would need to be made. We already had a list of some interior things but its more realistic to live in it and daily.

  Our Abi has done extremely well and has had so much fun in this coach.  It has been fun for all of us but not without things happening. Just like a house.

  We hope to have all the renovations done prior to doing therapy in the fall this year, well maybe winter.  We are on our way now to get more modifications and renovations done.

  I will be sharing some of our travel journey when I get our new website up and running.  I will be moving the data from this website and exporting it to our new website. I also hope to share some of our awesome photos along the way.

  We are excited about our girl and how well she is doing. We are even more excited to see how well she will do with therapy this winter :)

  God has been with us all along the way. Yes we have had mishaps, we have had trials.  It is all part of living as stewards on this earth.

  Please check out our other blogs and pages.  Also we are doing a fundraiser to raise funds for travel expenses and to help with therapy.  Our physical therapy is not covered by insurance.

May God bless you

  1. Paris, I'm sure there were those that asked the same thing of the children of Israel as they followed God's guidance. You and your husband know what you need to do and when. You keep following the guidance of the Lord, and let the naysayers just babble on.
