“Its seriously the smallest church building you’ve ever seen,” I say to Jess as she wrangles Cara’s dress over her head last Sunday morning. “No way. Really? Are they even going to have a primary for the kids?” she asks. “No idea,” I respond. “But I guess we’ll go find out.” We arrive at the…
Having slightly more trailer towing experience, I have been doing all the driving whilst towing the Airstream. Jess has been determined since we set off from Virginia to become familiar with all the ins and outs of daily operation. She knows how to safely connect power and water, and could probably dump the tanks by…
Every once in a while, some life event sneaks up on me and suddenly brings me to terms with my age. In September, my oldest daughter Rachel turned 8. I was suddenly reminded that yes, I was old enough and had been married long enough to have an 8 year old child. Turning 8 is…
Any trailer of significant size has brakes on the trailer tires. Nearly all of these trailers will also have a breakaway cable. This useful cable attaches separately from the hitch and chains, and will activate the trailer brakes if the cable is pulled. Many cables are straight wire, and have the tendency to drag on…

Hi, Just came across your site and I have enjoyed reading your stories. I have a wife and 4 kids and we full time in a fifth wheel. Although we don’t travel as much as I would like(cause I don’t have time to stop and smell the roses) we do seem to get around. So far my work this year has sent from ND to UT to SC to OK and next month TX then finally stay the winter in Laramie, WY. Burrrrr why can’t they send me south in winter and north in summer?
Anyway, Its nice to read about other mormon families doing the same thing we are. You have a good way of writing about the gospel and I enjoyed it. Its funny how we become missionaries when traveling and we don’t even realize it. My wife and kids have gotten out of there comfort zones on several occasions to share the gospel with people they meet.
Thanks for sharing your life.
Thanks for reading and for your compliments. We love meeting other LDS families, so if we are ever nearby let’s do dinner!
