Yolo Take a Chance Bus life giving up the small stuff

Starting the minimizing project Saying bye to some of our big stuff! So today we start the minimizing of our stuff! Our two oldest drove  down from North Florida to help us out. The hard part is finding out where to start so we started with the big stuff. As I speak they are downstairs reorganizing everything for the yard sale to come and boy is it going to be big one!  I say yard sale but it's more like an estate sale. When they leave they will be taking 2 of our prized possessions our fun family boat and jet ski. They are super excited that they have this opportunity so they volunteered to help us minimize everything. Got to pay off the bills. They are going to be coming down every other weekend until everything is gone. This is part of our journey and truthfully I'm looking forward to it. I feel as though some weight is being lifted off of our shoulders. “That's 2  things paid off “. We have a lot more to go. But it's a start in the future I will be gettin

          I’M DREAMING OF A SKOOLIE LIFE.   “YOLO BUS LIFE” Date of pic: 01/13/18          The name on this bus was Cool Bus!                          Photo by: Monica Mosier       Today was a somewhat lame day…… Until I was taking my son Noah to work that evening. I didn’t expect anything like this to add to my slow and boring day!  About a quarter mile away I spotted it! I can almost here the angles singing in the background…lol….  Suddenly my son pipes up “Mom is that a Skill is”? Why yes it is! I could feel happiness starting to build up inside me and my mind went into dream mode.  I wondered if it had been to skooliepalooza, I pictured my family traveling all over the world and how cool it must be to be the family that owns it! As I pulled in to my son’s work at the Fisherman’s Cove I felt the need to find this lucky family and as OooHhhhh so many questions…..But me being shy only sat in the parking lot wondering what was inside! There sat the luckiest dog in the wo

  Well here we go!  We drove about an hour and a half to take a look at this beauty. Instead of it being a 1998 bluebird it turned out to be a 1995. The bones were good but needed new feet and possibly an alternator which would put us above our budget point for just the bus.  The guy that showed us the bus was the pastor of the church that owned the bus. He was super sweet and tried his best to tell us all about the bus and its history. The bus was retired from transporting soldiers, I believe he said in Tennessee and found it's way to Florida to be his church bus. Though this bus was not for us I'm sure somebody else will give it a good home. So the search continues!
