Well folks, our life just took another crazy turn—this time in a fun and exciting direction!
For those who don’t know, Shane and I left Lowe’s back in 2012 to take an extended vacation (which is actually why I started this blog in the first place) and then pursue new careers. Shane eventually got a job as a part-time USPS carrier, and we really tried to make it work for about a year. Unfortunately, he was only getting about 8–16 hours a week, and a full-time position didn’t seem likely anytime soon.
So in 2014, we decided it was time to make some big changes to help create a better future for ourselves.
Shane made the decision to go back to Lowe’s and take the fast track back into management. After applying for several positions across the United States, he finally landed an interview with a store in Utah. Long story short—he absolutely nailed the interview, and within two and a half weeks we were saying goodbye to Tucson and hello to Orem, Utah!
This crazy move has definitely sparked my adventurous side. I’m so excited to explore our new home and everything around it. My goal is to create a checklist of destinations and share our experiences as we explore them.
Right now I’m unemployed, which has made getting started on this project a little easier. I will be getting a job soon though, so our adventures may slow down a bit—but I’ll still make a point to share them here whenever we get the chance.
Hopefully some of our experiences will be helpful for others looking to explore this area too. Stay tuned for fun updates and more checks off my adventure checklist!
For now, here’s a little photo story of what life has looked like over the past few weeks…
