I get this question pretty often. It’s really not any different than how anyone else has money for certain things. We just choose to put the majority of our disposable income towards travel. By basically being debt-free and choosing to save for travel, we have a rather large “vacation” budget. It’s been a combination of calculated decisions that have gotten …

Keith and I planned a road trip to check off some attractions we had been wanting to see. It was the perfect time for a little weekend away since Keith was starting a new job soon.

On July 30, 2016 we left Indiana for Utah. We had been planning the move for over a year and Keith had been dreaming of living in Utah ever since I can remember, more than 10 years! It was something he thought about often and we even joked about it regularly, but I doubt most of our family and friends …

I was beyond excited when my sister, Jill, booked her trip to Salt Lake City, Utah! Not only would I see my sister, but also my nearly 1 year old niece, Adalyn.
