A New Beginning or Act III of the Alexander Script

Diedre here.  I believe at some point this blog will be written by both Alexx and me, so I'm beginning with letting you know which voice you're hearing.  This is our first blog.  As owners of Darknight Productions for 6 years, we managed a website, but now that the theater doors have closed, we have ended that website and taken a 7 month hiatus.  Not being ones to let grass grow under our feet, we took the month of July to head north with our three cats and celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at the site of our legal union - Alexx's mom's back yard.  The weeks that followed we toured in our Honda van (sans cats who were being adored and cared for at Jean Alexander's home) and visited family and friends in Michigan and Wisconsin.  It was on that trip that we knew we were ready to make a commitment to an idea we had been batting around for two years....

Becoming Fulltimers!

In the speakeze of RV, "Fulltimers" is the name given to the 1 million people who have sold their stationary home and spend full time in their motorhome.  Some think we're crazy and some think we're brave, but surprisingly, many think it's a great idea and have encouraged us to pursue this venture.  

So here we go!  This blog is the official beginning to our countdown to departure.  We have set January, 2013, as our target date. (We have writing and directing commitments that must be fulfilled thus prohibiting us from an earlier departure.) That's just 16 months away!  Join us as we de-clutter and downsize, sell our home and purchase our motorhome.  Follow our research and decisions as we figure out how to bring this dream to fruition.  And then follow us on our travels!  Maybe if you like the idea, we'll see you on the road or if not, you might wake up one morning and find us in your driveway! Let this new adventure begin!
