And while she absolutely loved him, life with two children was overwhelming to say the least. Newborns need constant care, and toddlers need to be watched at all times. Then on top of that, she was also in charge of cleaning the house, doing laundry, cooking dinner, giving the boys their baths at night, and getting them ready for bed. She was having to do it all by herself.

But Andrea didn't like to burden her husband. So even when she felt like she was drowning in responsibilities, she never complained. She was the type of wife where when she got groceries, she never asked her husband to help carry them inside. Instead, she would pile as many bags in her hands as she could and do it all herself. But that's not to say that Rusty wasn't a good husband or father.

He loved his family. When he would get home after a long day of work, He would sometimes even take their oldest son Noah out of the house so that Andrea could have a break and a moment of peace.

By October of 1996, the Yates family had officially purchased their small travel trailer that they hooked up to their blue Suburban and they started getting ready for their move to Florida. They even rented out their home in Friendswood and they sold a bunch of their stuff like their furniture and wedding gifts. Their goal was to only keep the possessions they truly needed.

But after a few weeks, they had finally packed up the trailer and were ready to start this new chapter of their lives. On October 12th, 1996, Rusty, Andrea, Noah, and John arrived at the Lazy Days RV campground in Hitchcock, Texas. They only planned on staying there for a few weeks before they officially made the move,

But the RV manager, Belinda Green, would later say that the family seemed in good spirits. Rusty even talked with her about how he was debt-free and ready to live a life of simplicity. But these first few weeks were definitely an adjustment for them. They went from having a house to a 38-foot trailer. But of course, Andrea wasn't one to complain.

And by November, they officially set off for Clearwater, Florida. Upon arriving, Rusty immediately started work at his new job, and Andrea explored her new life with her children in a new state. Now, something she really loved to do when the children were younger was pull out their recorder and film special memories.

In early January 1997, Andrea filmed a video of Rusty and little Noah cramped inside the trailer's bathroom and Noah is pretending to shave his face just like his dad. Andrea can be heard in the background laughing at the special moment. In May of that year, she filmed another video of Noah riding his bicycle through the RV park. Andrea can be heard saying, quote, "'There's our boys.'"
