We've got to get out of this place!

We're back! 

A lot's happened since that weird Wyoming trip in 2014.

There were new kittens: 

River Song

River Tam

Lots of amigurumi:

 


Lots of stuck in place wanting to go places and do stuff, but not being in a place to just do it.

Guess what - that changed!

In July of this year, the wife came home one night and declared that we were going to buy an RV and run away.  

The husband's response - after asking if she was okay - was "Ikimasho!"  (That's Japanese for "Let's Go!")

After that, we were a snowball in July - literally. (This will make more sense in a minute.)

That Saturday, we bought a 2017 Coachman Leprechaun that was decorated like it was built in the 1970s and began planning our escape.  
"Let's go to Seattle!"
"Let's go RIGHT NOW!"

A couple weeks later, we picked up the RV, christened it the H.F.S. Impetuous (AKA The Imp) and began tearing it apart.

First thing to go were the swish-mark decals on the outside. Now the Imp was NAKED!  (Fun fact: an RV with no decals is called a snowball.)

Then we ripped out the brown and gold suede window coverings, partitions, overhead bunk and dinette.

Over the next 6 weeks, we went to our jobs, slept and worked on rebuilding the interior of the RV while also cleaning up the condo we'd been living in for 8 years, selling our stuff and disengaging from obligations.  We were READY! We were running away in September!

Then we remembered......the wife had promised to participate in Pugs in the Park for the Colorado Pug Rescue in mid-September AND we'd planned and paid for a 10 day trip to Greece in early November.

So much for leaving - and really, we weren't' ready yet. We hadn't quite gotten the condo on the market, the wife didn't have many amigurumi pugs made and both of use were still working and hadn't given notice yet.

So, we gave notice, called the awesome Realtor Vanessa Holmes, moved out of the condo and into the RV and  made a ton of pugs. And then we waited.....

Then we waited some more. And so on. We're still waiting on:
The closing for the condo
The wife's last day of work
The first travel day on our way to Greece 
Our return so we can grab the RV and kittens, say goodbye for now to all of our awesome Colorado peoples and hit the damn road! 

(And no, we're not going to Seattle - yet. More on that in the next post 😸😸😸😸😸 )
