A Weekend Away & LIVE Tv

5/22/2017

  I can tell you, there is nothing more special then getting to live all as a family on the road all the time.  But I can ALSO tell you, that it was WONDERFUL to have some Dale and Tonya time over a long weekend away.

  Thank you Nana for watching our precious ones and coming out to live in the RV while we were gone!!!

    May 25th, I get to celebrate 15 years with this guy! Woot woot!  Now let me tell you, back in the day, on our honeymoon to Maui, we decided to come back at 5 years.  ​
Picture
  HA.  Seriously.  By 5 years we had lost 4 babies, had Destiny and was rapidly approaching 3 kids, a mortage and 2 car payments!  So we decided 10 years.  Surely, we'll be ready to go by then.

  Nope. Not happening.  We were literally going through the hardest time in our marriage, finances and all.  
 
  15 years it is.....which brings us to present anniversary!  :)  <3

  And NOPE.  Doing an apartment, so all our funds are being funneled into it right now.  And besides, we only have Hawaii, Alaska and North Dakota left on our map to pin before we have visited all 50, so the kids want to go!

  Maybe at year 20?  ;)

  A weekend away will have to do!  :)  We have a favorite hotel in a metro area about 45 minutes away. Super luxurious, close to shopping and restaurants, and just time away, which is what we sought.  
​  We had SO MUCH FUN!!!!!  
Picture
So pretty and fancy!  Our room had a kitchen, dining and living room!

  We ate TONS of good restaurant food, both out and in......​ Indian is always a favorite.  They took such good care of us at Kebabs , especialy once they found it was our anniversary!
Picture

   We also go to go design our kitchen at Menards, pick out doors, floors and all kinds of fun things for our apartment.  I cannot wait to show you more as it progresses!!! Eeeek! :)
Picture
  It was a super overcast, rainy weekend so it was the perfect weekend for shopping, holing  up on our room, watching movies, reading, talking, and just relaxing.  We also had a couple meals "bed picnic" style like we used to when we were first married.

v  Look how grown up and sensible we are, taking our vitamins.  Haha! We both HATE when we forget, because there is such a marked change in how we feel throughout the day.  I am not even kidding.  doTERRA's Life long vitality vitamins keep me from crashing and snacking mid afternoon, so amazing!

  So our anniversary weekend was supposed to be Friday through Sunday, right?  Well, then I get a message from the local news station, that they wanted to interview the RV oilers on their morning show, live.

  HOLY COW!  Tv again?! LIVE this time???  That part made me nervous. No retakes!!!

  Okey dokey, let's do it.  We've been asking the Lord to expand our territory, and apparently, it includes TV shows now! ;)  To Him be the glory!
​
  So we shifted our trip to Saturday, Sunday, Monday and hit the studio early Monday morning for the show.  I was nervous, but my FB friends helped me pick an outfit I felt confident in.

RV Oilers on TV!

 In September of 2016, after doTERRA's convention, Dale and I booked it 12 hours down to Los Angeles, to prepare to be on a TV show.  T.D. Jakes producers found us through our 4 little Ferguson's blog, and followed us over to this new one.  

  We have walked away from TV show offers before, but this one felt different.  We approached it cautiously and held it with open hands.  No doors closed, in fact closed doors, swung open as details fell into place.


  They booked us an incredible RV park and asked us to be ready for an RV shoot and studio shoot, within the few days we were there.  We were SO exhausted from convention, but so super pumped to have this experience! Dana and Micheal, the producers of the show, were awesome to work with!

  Now, the trick, our kids were in Kansas, what to do what to do....

 PAPA to the rescue!

  Can you believe that guy drove from Florida to Kansas in his RV to go pick up the grandkids and then proceeded to drive them CROSS COUNTRY ALONE?!  That is brave!!!!
  They picked up Grammy, after she flew to AZ when her time at work was finished! And they all headed to LA!  Can you imagine? What GREAT memories our kids will have of their trip with Grammy and Papa!
Picture
  Besides being on the show, we had a BALL in California, but I already blogged all that HERE 

Picture
 We had to get up BRIGHT AND EARLY to get to the studio in time.  Rush hour morning traffic is NUTS! I saw all kinds of people eating and doing makeup on their drive in.  Crazy.
Picture
  We arrive at the studio and a guard escort us inside, where we had to wait in our dressing room for hair, makeup and wardrobe.  I kept pinching myself!!! And smelling doTERRA's amazing Balance oil so I didn't pass out from nerves. ;)

  Being on a TV set is totally different then I thought it would be.  There are lots of cuts and redos, coaching of audience clapping etc.  Pretty awesome!  TD Jakes and his crew were AMAZING to work with, and so kind and fun.  We had a ball!
​
  NO cell phones are allowed on set, so I don't have any pics from that part.
  
  The kids stayed home and did school with Papa on studio day, because they would've had to school like 5 hours with a tutor, AND cost the station hundreds of dollars in liscensing to get them on set.  They were part of the RV on site shoot, so I wasn't worried about it.
Picture
  They made a video montage of our family, but we haven't got to see it yet.  

  Did you know they beef up shows AFTER they are taped live?

​  So the live audience saw a 2 minute intro of us, the TV show will have a longer one with more photos tucked into the story.  I am so excited, but SO nervous to watch it.  It's always hard to see yourself on tape, right?!

  I was just given the link to our episode last night, so am popping on here to add it before I post this! :)


  When we prayed for the Lord to open doors and expand our territory, we had no idea this would be part of His plan.  I love when we get to share our story and point to a Father who makes beauty from out of the ashes, and used the shattered pieces of our broken marriage, to create a BEAUTIFUL mosaic for HIS glory!  We are so honored and so excited for all that is to come!

 For those of you who haven't read our story of Beauty from Ashes, you can access the series here:
