This is it! Yesterday we took off on our longest trip by far - at 1,437 miles. So far, the trip has been pretty easy, and we’ve made great time. While I’m writing this, we’re driving through the middle of Missouri - almost half way there! Before we left, we spent three weeks in Prattville … Continue reading Headed North 🚌
I’ve never been a very good housekeeper. I wish I was one of those people who’s house is always clean and visitor-ready, but instead I’m the person who speed cleans while having a panic attack when someone is coming over. Life is just too short to keep a house clean. 🤷🏼♀️ One of the things … Continue reading Instagram Vs. Reality: Real Life in a Skoolie
Today we say goodbye to the place we’ve called home for the last four years. We moved to Albertville/Boaz right after I graduated from JSU for a teaching job. After that chapter closed, we decided to stay anyway and turn Boaz into our home. It’s where we bought our first home, brought our bus home, … Continue reading Saying Goodbye
I don't know about you, but my all-time favorite thing about social media is seeing my old memories pop up every year. This week last year must have been a big one for The Russ Bus, because my Timehop has been FULL of old pictures. We got our tiny oven and sink just ONE year … Continue reading Busy Year: A Skoolie Transition
I quit my job. My last day was Thursday, and it all seems so surreal. We are both now officially unemployed. 😅 Throughout this skoolie journey, we’ve gotten one question over and over... “but how will you make money?” It’s a valid question, and honestly we haven’t had a solid answer until now. But now … Continue reading Making Money on the Road: Full-Time Skoolie Living
It’s finally happening! Everybody stay calm... but we moved into the bus. We’re not completely finished, but the last few weeks have been spent working on the house instead for future tenants (!!!). That’s right, our house is empty. We sold just about everything that we own, and we are down to just what fits … Continue reading Moving In
Holy smokes, it's been a long time since I wrote a blog post. 🙈 Even though quarantine should have given me a lot more time, it seems to have done the opposite. We have had SO much stuff going on lately, but I decided it was finally time for a blog update! The moment you've … Continue reading Bus People
This week officially marked one year since we brought the Russ Bus home! 🚌 Our goal was to have her finished within a year, and while we didn’t make it, we’ve made a CRAZY amount of progress! This post is dedicated to looking back on our last YEAR working on our baby. ☺️ These pictures … Continue reading The Russ Bus’s First Year
My all time favorite thing about having a skoolie is the fact that we can hit the road whenever it feels right. Last Tuesday, Governor Ivey announced that the beaches in Alabama would open back up this weekend. I checked the weather and sent Rett a text asking if he wanted to take a trip … Continue reading The Road was Calling: the Russ Bus goes to the Beach
We are so close to being able to put up our ceiling! 🤗 I've been looking forward to this moment since we took down the old, school bus ceiling. One last thing we had to get finished before we can start was the weird little spot above the windshield. Before Such an eyesore, right? 🙈 … Continue reading Bus Update – Today’s Project
