There’s something sacred about carving out time that belongs just to you—and for us, that time is Mondays.
While we’re workamping at Willard Peak Campground, Mondays (and sometimes Sundays) are the only days we can truly step away. Otherwise, if our truck is seen on the property, it’s assumed we’re available—always ready to serve, always “on.” So we’ve made a promise to ourselves: Mondays are date nights. No exceptions.
Once our 5th wheel renovation is complete, we’re looking forward to reclaiming Sundays too. But for now, Mondays are our reset. Our pause. Our reminder of why we’re doing all of this in the first place.
A Simple Kind of Perfect
This week’s date night wasn’t extravagant. No big adventures. No splurging.
Because right now, our “fun budget” is reserved for one thing:
🎬 Two hours in a movie theater with NO cell phones.
But honestly? We didn’t need anything fancy.
We wandered through Trader Joe’s, picked up a few sale items, and found a quiet park. No crowds. No interruptions. No one listening in. Just the two of us—talking.
And sometimes, that’s everything.
We talked about our progress.
We talked about what still needs to be done.
We talked about how to move things forward… faster, smarter, better.
The Dream vs. Reality
Like so many people living this lifestyle, we found ourselves talking about the dream.
The brands that could reach out.
The opportunities that seem just out of reach.
The idea of getting paid to travel, create, and share our journey.
But then reality gently taps you on the shoulder…
We need more growth on our social media—Me Gone RVing Adventures.
We need better equipment (or at least… I need to unpack the equipment we already have 😅).
We’re pulled in a lot of directions right now.
And sometimes, it feels like maybe… it’s just a dream.
A “maybe someday.”
Or maybe not at all.
And That’s Okay
Because here’s the truth we came back to that night:
Even if none of that happens…
Even if no brands ever reach out…
Even if it never turns into anything bigger…
👉 This is still worth it.
The conversations.
The quiet moments.
The growth.
The partnership.
If all we ever do is document this life for ourselves, then that alone is enough. Everything else? That’s just icing on the cake.

The Little Joys Matter Too
And speaking of icing on the cake…
Let’s just pretend Trader Joe’s sponsored our date night 😂
Because those Strawberry Vanilla Prebiotic drinks?
Absolutely worth mentioning.
Simple things. Small treats. Shared laughs.
That’s the good stuff.
Small Steps. Big Vision.
We may not have it all figured out.
We may feel pulled in a hundred directions.
We may still be chasing something that feels far away…
But we’re moving forward.
Together.
And that’s what matters most.
