About four years ago, Maddy and I started making plans to travel to New York City during the Christmas season. This has been one of my bucket list items for a long time.
While making plans to travel, we decided we wanted to visit all fifty states. We did not have a timeline; we just knew we wanted to visit all fifty states at some point in our life.
At the time these plans were made we had a house and debt. Our rental house was sold in 2022, and we had to move in with my parents. We were sad to lose our home, but at the same time we knew it was all in God's plan. Not only did we want to travel to all fifty states, but we also wanted to purchase our first home. When we moved in with my parents, I was able to pay off debt fairly quick. Once debt was paid off, we started saving for our first house. We threw everything we could into house savings. After a year of saving, we felt we had enough saved for the house price we could actually afford.
During one of our walks, we decided it was time to live our best life. What does live your best life mean? To us, it meant be intentional with our time. It also meant to have as much fun as possible within our means, which led us back to our goal of traveling all fifty states.
Without further ado, our big announcement is we are traveling all fifty states! We have until July 2028 to complete this goal. Will we be able to complete it? We certainly hope so! We plan to post our adventures on YouTube at Heather Vlogs Life. We also to plan to write about our adventures here.
We look forward to the days ahead! Our hope is you will see that you too can live your best life.
