So we decided we had enough with the city life and the kids being on electronics all of the time so we decided to make a change. We had to find a way to make our family life better for us and our children. So we scoped around for a couple of months to find a place in the country with a good school and very few neighbors. We finally found a great place in the mountains of Tennessee. We knew everyone would think we were crazy but we decided that a simple life would be what we needed. So off grid we go.......
It has been a definite change in our lives but it has been a fun roller coaster ride.
We bought a big enough camper for the 5 of us with room for our oldest when he decides to visit. This is what our place looked like when we got here. We were in for a challenge.
We bought a wind turbine and a small solar panel for power. But water has been the biggest issue since we got here.
Keep on keep-in on brother...You guys have the guts...I'm not just saying it, I mean it. I wish that I could have the balls to push away from what I know is wrong and evil at times. The things I have witnessed, and the things that I am beginning to try and understand. I will keep researching, and hopefully come up with a plan that suits my family. You never know, maybe our goals are one and the same. Take care of that family, and let them know that not everyone thinks what you guys are doing is out there. You took the first step, and that is ALWAYS the hardest. I love you guys and always think about you all. I may not be in touch as often as I should, but I do want you guys to know that you have my support. Let us know what we can do to help. Were going to put a list together for the trip up there this summer. We need input from time to time on things that can help. One day we might need to lean on you guys for support if we decide that route is for us. Anyways, it great to see progression, especially when you see where it started.
