Life is one grand adventure. Occasionally this adventure seems to take on a life of its own. When I started traveling in my early 20’s I developed a passion for seeing new places and meeting new people. The desire for greater adventure and experiences seemed to be coursing through my veins at an exponential speed. I was hooked.
After seven years of pretty much non-stop travel I needed a break. I needed a steady home life and some sort of normalcy. Boy did I ever get that.
I finally settled down, got married, had my first kid and I was ….. settled. Second kid comes along and all of a sudden ’settled’ felt like stuck. My sense of adventure never left me, I simply shelved it for a period.

Now, after ten years of stationary adventure my life has taken a recent turn. You see, one day while driving in our car, it’s as if God deposited the most brilliant idea into my husband and I. We were so excited we had to stop at a cafe with a notebook just to hash some things out on paper.
Well after much deliberation and prayer we are embarking on a new adventure. One that seems larger than life. One that we want to share with all of you. We’re moving. From Iowa. To …. The…. Road. Yes, you heard right. We are getting rid of all the things that tie us down and we’re leaving in a vehicle of some sort to travel the US for a year. See the video here.
What?!?! Seems a bit crazy, right? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of someone taking on such a crazy journey. Which is beside the point since we’re not looking to mimic anyone else’s lives. This isn’t about keeping up with the Jones’s, nor has it ever been. We’re blazing our own trail.
Details:
How? This does involve me road schooling my two little boys with a program we found through Enlightium Christian Academy. (By the Lord’s infinite grace) Marc will be able to work remotely so there’s no issue there.
When? (edited) August 4th
Where? (edited) Marc has an event to attend in Vegas so that'll be the first stop ...then we head to Talent, OR for a month....to know the rest you've got to keep up with the blog:)
Why? We’re not sure where we want to move next so why not tour the US, educate the kids (and us) and find a place to fall in love with and go from there.
So what about you? How do you fit into this equation? We would LOVE you to come along for the ride. We’ll be posting videos, pictures, stories and even Facebook Lives all along the way. Would you please share this with a friend? A family member? A neighbor? If not, cool, just keep up with us for motivation, inspiration, and education.
Have you ever had a dream or a goal so big you’d need a major miracle for things to line up so that dream can become reality? That’s where I’m at.
We’re forging ahead. Taking one step at a time. We hope you’ll join the journey.
Go in Peace,
Blu Wyatt and family
