Chapter 4: “Forever Yours”

Investing in a Broadway musical was a crazy thing for us to do, but through the years Jesse and I had already done some crazy things including driving our two teen girls and 9 year old son over 4,200 miles to Alaska in an RV. When Jesse first brought up the trip, I was skeptical. Was it even safe? But as usual, he convinced me to do it anyway.

Along the eighty hours of driving, we discovered that the five of us traveling in an RV for three weeks through the rugged wilderness was not a recipe for disaster, it was a wonderful family bonding experience. There was no cell service, no internet, and no tv. It was just our family and the lush scenery that surrounded us. There were also bears, moose, bald eagles, and even a whale.

So far any time we’ve decided to take a leap and do something a little insane, it has given our lives so much more.
