Our Game Plan (for now at least)

Here’s the deal: I actually felt slightly terrified to put a game plan in writing on the Internet, for our major viewership (ha!) to see. What if it doesn’t work out? What if we decide to take a different route? Life can change quickly, so I’m making a plan, while welcoming changes if it’s for the best of our family.

So without further adieu, here is our super awesome (and intimidating) plan for a Streamlined Life:

We might just need to have a purple floor, like this brand spanking new Airstream has, in our future rehabbed trailer. Or not.

Stage One

Build up our savings and pay off credit card debt
Sell the majority of our things, retaining a few of our favorite pieces of furniture and other household items for the future
Sell our house in Oklahoma, hopefully taking advantage of the current seller’s market and high demand for houses in our neighborhood
Have several panic attacks and second guess our decision (first rule of making crazy life changes: know thyself)
Pack what’s left of our belongings in a small, moving trailer hitched to our 4runner and move to Indiana

Stage Two

Move in with Kate’s parents for 3-4 months while prepping the Airstream
Locate a suitable vintage trailer and have a Michigan Airstream renovation company gut remodel it for us to make it more homelike and suited to our needs (Note: this could always change, so don’t hold us to it!)
Enjoy an Indiana summer on Lake Michigan and spend time with family
