Pregnant Living in an RV
On top of our already challenging life situation let’s just add pregnancy into the mix and see what happens next. We are finally staying in one place for longer than a week.

Christmas 2018
We celebrated the birth of our Lord yesterday and I prayed that my girls would experience the true meaning of Christmas. My family prefers quality time over presents all the time.
