And they're off! Jacqueline Laurita and her family are currently on a journey to their new home in Nevada. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum has promised that she'll "be sharing some of our journey as we go." And she's keeping her word by revealing some more details about what her new life out west with her husband, Chris Laurita, and their two sons, CJ, 17, and Nicholas, 10, will look like once they get there.

It turns out, they may not have Ashlee Holmes Malleo there, but they do have plenty of other family.

"It was very hard to say goodbye to friends and family in NJ, but I know we will have many visitors coming to the Las Vegas area! Good times ahead and new adventures! I have my parents there, one of my brothers, my sister-in-law, my nephews, my cousins [and] their kids AND friends already there. Chris also has a brother there as well," she explained. "Imagine how thrilled I was when my husband told me he was opening an office and a warehouse there and in CA with his business partners!! I moved to NJ for Chris and now he’s moving to NV for me! (Well sort of) but it all worked in my favor too! I just need to convince my daughter [Ashlee] and her husband [Pete] to move out there with my grandson [Cameron] and my life will be complete! They promised to come for Christmas at least!"

The family is driving an RV out to Nevada and Jacqueline joked on Instagram, " It’s the same RV company we used when Ashlee and I moved from Nevada to New Jersey! I’m rolling out the same way I rolled in!"

As for this next chapter, she added, "I loved my life in NJ and I will love my life in NV. I know what’s important. I’m grounded. I hope you continue to follow our journey and new adventures as a family. Love you all and you better stay in touch!"
