We got a work camping job

Well we got a work camping job yay.   I have not worked in 9 years or so.  I am happy and nervous all at the same time!  It has been years since I have worked.   But we are in TN working at a camp ground and we have a place to stay.   And if the house sells we will be able to live on the pay!  Cross your fingers for the house selling we got any offer the other day. But enjoy a few pics from the trip here from NC.

Stress

I can't seem to not stress about everything and just relax easy when I need to.

I have treating my ADHD with vitamins and minerals my body is low on and using CBD oil to help with other issues as well. My mind is better than it as been in years. 

But stress of the new life we are living right now of not knowing what is next, who, what, when, where and why.  I am not good at this stuff but I know it is all a part of the fact we are selling our house, just getting started in full time RVing and I am not good with new change.  But I look forward to the chance to work on this part of my self but it is hard I will say for me.  

Hey if anyone has tips on how to help with stressing over everything.

I might have find my thing in life!?

In this journey I have been finding that I am falling in love with knife making and blacksmithing.  I find my self dreaming of knife making and my brain is full of 1000's of idea of things I would love to make and learn to make.   

But sadly after the reality of money and so on and the fact hubby is starting to think if something does not change soon he will have to give up knives making him self he said...   And all I can think is when I finely find my thing in life that it slips away from me and I will never get to do it. 

This is how my life seems to go I feel I am not meant to get to do what anything I want to or love in life.  Hubby would give to the world if I ask so that is not the issue here it is more like life makes sure I can't for what ever reason like is like something out there has a ax to grid with me and or hates me for what ever reason.

I pray to God for help and things to workout and it always go the other way and I even prayed once that if there is a God and he really cares about me this said thing will turn out good and in a good way for me and my family and the worst thing happened instead..  so that was the day I learned there is no God and something out there just hates me and wants me to not have the things I want or need in life. 

The only thing I am thankful for in all of this is I have my awesome hubby and kids  thanks for that at least. 

We started our journey.

Hubby is a bladesmith and he is really good but he has more to learn.  We hope in this journey to travel to other knife makers shops to learn from and we plan to work camp and odd jobs and so on to pay the bills.   And we are home school our kids in a online school so we need Internet and they are all good.

We left our backyard about a week a to before Christmas.  We stayed at a friends place that is a ABS Master Smith and we stayed with them until after Christmas.

Then we moved on to another good friends other in NC and we where there for about a week or so and sadly they had some family pass on both side of there family so we decided it was time to move on to let them have their space.  

So luckily we had another in NC as well blade smith friend we where going to see next anyway and we headed that way.  We get there new years day and stayed for just over a week and hubby had a beautiful chopper camp type knife and I get to learn a little on how to grid a knives. 

I am finding my self in love with knife making myself.  I have always loved metal working of all type my mind I never thought it would be something I would be able to do in my life.  

And that friend tell us about a ABS knife club meeting close to a friend's place close to haywood NC so we head that way to make there the day before the meeting.  We find a RV camp site place for about $20 a night we called and got a spot for that night.  And messaged the friend and it turns out that friend had a teaching job that popped up last minute for sure in a different state.  So here we are still in the park until Monday at noon and no where to go for sure.  We will most likely endup staying in a Walmart parking lot do to the fact unless something happens soon money and credit with runout.   We need to ether sell some knives or find a job to hold us over.

My husand and I have decided to change our lives!

Hubby, I and the kids have been making some big changes to our lives.   We having downsizing everything we our to fit into a 28 feet RV and we are selling house in Charleston SC.  And we are going to travel around for hubby to learn from other knife makers and work camp and find other work as needed to pay bills.   We are homeschooling our kids through a online school as of right now and we plan on going over to more more homeschooling them later if we need more flexibility because as of right now we will have to go back to SC for testing but we can do that at any school in SC.
