I Got My Tiny House!


Life is good! 

Let me start by simply saying I am truly blessed and fortunate.


Over the past three weeks I have diligently searched every day, including Sundays, for a new RV that would fit our needs and our budget.  I dragged one of my dearest friends along with me in my quest and, bless her heart, she stayed with me every step of the way, offering encouragement and support.  Without her I'm certain this task would have been far less enjoyable, believe me.

 
With temperatures topping over 100 degrees outside we trooped through a lot of RVs, both privately owned and on sales lots, and boy oh boy did we see some nasty stuff.  Stuff we couldn't have imagined.  Perseverance paid off and last Friday I found what I was looking for. 

Early Saturday morning we headed back to a sales lot we'd already visited the day before to check out a travel trailer I had found on their website.  We toured around with our salesman on the golf cart in search of this trailer and we couldn't find it.  Their lot is huge so, figuring we probably drove past it, we went around again, then again.  Pretty soon I figured it was already gone.  The trailer had a ton of features and was priced to move. 

They showed it was still in stock and even the sales manager came out there to aid us in our search.  He suggested to our salesman to "check the dirt".  The dirt?  My friend and I looked at each other.  Oh boy!  If it's in "the dirt" it must be a real piece of junk after all.  Or so we imagined.  After all, we had seen a lot of dirt by now. 

Turns out "the dirt" is the overflow lot they use when they have too much inventory and guess what?  There she was.  I opened the door and she wasn't a piece of junk.  She was beautiful. 

And now, she's mine. 

To say we are a little bit excited would be an understatement. 

As the days progress I'll be sharing photos and updates about our new home.  It will be so nice to have our own home again and get things back to "normal".  Whatever that is.

    1. For right now we will be staying put. Quite honestly, after everything we've been through I need to get my bearings and school is about to start anyway. In the spring I'll re-evaluate things. We also need to find something that will pull this beast. :)
