Finally here

Took some doing, but finally blogging :)

First let me do the introductions...

I am MIN, my counterpart is JEN... will not apologize for the 'initials' because we prefer to maintain a bit of privacy.  The persons that will know us by this method will be family and close friends.  All are welcome to follow along on our journey.

It began quite some time back.  Procrastination among many other things have prevented me (MIN) from getting this blog going.   I do plan to post as often as possible, however; know that out in the boonies of South Texas where the roadrunners run, the coyote play, the snakes rattle and everything either wants to sting ya, bite ya or EAT ya  .... internet connections are not always very cooperative.

This blog will be in no set order...I will write/blog as the thought comes to mind.  I'll attempt to keep it sane, not for me but for you... least any reader loose his/her sanity.. sure don't want that  on my conscience.

So here we go!

First real post ... we are a couple , that decided nearly two years ago to leave the sticks and bricks life, and enter the full-time RV lifestyle.

The first year was awesome, living in a campground... yea yea ... stayed in the same place for a full year, still it was great and confirmed what we thought.   That we could survive in a very small living space ON WHEELS no less!

Over the years I had always searched the internet for ways to make money from home.  As I am sure many reading this have done.  Most of what you find out there are scams...pure scams, that only want your $$$.  You guessed it, we too, threw dollars away ... chasing a dream.

BUT NO MORE!  One day I was home surfing from site to site on the WWW, and low and behold I found a blogger or two... they talked about something I had never heard of, something that enabled them to travel, see things and places they never had before.  They wrote of having NO RENT to pay, NO WATER BILLS, NO ELECTRIC BILLS.... WHAT?  Surely you jest!  This can't be true.

But it was ... IS TRUE.   They were talking about GATE GUARDING ... in TEXAS!

To make a very long story shorter... That is where we are now, have been for more than half a year now. 

After researching the companies that contract / hire folks to do this work, we decided it was the answer... a means to an end... or the BEGINNING...

Yes it meant leaving the safety of the known...family and friends back home. 
It meant entering into a totally new life, venturing into the unknown, at least for us it did.

But after much prayer and consideration of both the possibilities as well as the probabilities... here we are!

AND... we are loving it, we are making more $$$$ than either of us had before, and actually able to SAVE $$... able to send gifts (just because gifts) back home.  

Life as a full-time RVer and as Gate Guard is just great, we love it.
