Tuesday night I was cooking dinner and there was a knock on
our trailer door. No one EVER knocks on our trailer door.
Josh opened the door and in walked my
Mama! I was completely surprised. Remember, my mom lives in the Seattle area
and we are west of Sacramento! It turns out she had
an unexpected business trip to Sacramento this week and drove out to surprise
us. The boys and I were so excited to
see her in the middle of our tour! What
a gift! We spent the evening chatting
and playing “Trouble”. What a fun
surprise!
After she left that evening Josh and I were talking about
how this was the first time we have had a visitor in our trailer. Of course, we have family and friends who
have been inside the trailer, but this was the first official visitor. Josh even had to bring in a lawn chair so we
all had someplace to sit for dinner. J
This got me thinking that some of you
might think it was fun to know a little bit more about what our “normal” looks
like – what it’s like to live (every day, all year) in a trailer. So, I took some pictures of some of the
creative ways that we make living/touring/managing a ministry/homeschooling in
our trailer work.
This is Thing 1's bed (the bottom bunk) aka play space, "desk", wrestling ring, and LEGO construction site. You can see papers taped to the wall. I provide the boys with an unlimited supply of blue tape so that can hang artwork, memory verses, and as you see on the right - chore charts.
Here you see our multifunctional “cubby”. We store our printer, wii, and bread here. J Next to it you see some of the boy’s artwork and a
reminder to think only about what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely,
admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. J

Our microwave doubles as cereal and potato chip storage!
And last but not least - this is our new truck... Josh's office.
