MY NEW HOME?

I have wanted a travel trailer for a very long time. When Tricia and I KNOW we were close to a bear encounter, I decided I couldn't camp in a tent , anymore. Thus, the trailer.

I saved for a couple of years, to put money down and then I looked and looked. I researched. I had several factors that I needed to consider. The most important one was if my Toyota Tacoma (cute truck) could pull one. Of course it had to look good behind my truck. Can I afford the payment? Can I figure out how to hook everything up and make it work?

What if Trish and I want to go somewhere, really cool, again, and need a place to sleep? It needed to big big enough to sleep a few people and small enough to pull. Bob is claustophic and so he needed a roomy place to sleep.

So after searching and searching I found the one I loved. We took it on a maiden voyage, to our favorite place, Panquitch. We couldn't find a camp spot near the lake so we went to our new favorite place " White Bridge" campground. It was beautiful. The camp spots are right near a river. So quiet and peaceful. I loved it. We fixed dinner on our new stove and used our new microwave! We took our showers in our new bathroom. I got my lap top out and watched The Bucket List until we both fell asleep. Magical. We woke up early and had a fine breakfast in my trailer kitchen. Cleaned everything up then went fishing.

Hooking up the truck to the trailer was pretty easy. I love my new home! Lets go again!

P.S. Notice the sign "BEAR COUNTRY" No worries here

New Beginnings???

K everyone I have a big decision to make. I have been offered a job in St. George by my brother to work for his company. I would be the receptionist/dispatcher for their techs. (Now remember everyone, I have wanted to go to St. George for some time now) I would get a $2.50 an hour raise from what I make now, and after 90 days I would get another .50 cent increase. (by the way, this is great pay!) Then, my brother's neighbor rents out the upstairs of their garage. (it's a studio apartment) I would be living in Hurricane if I took this option up. It is $550 a month and includes utilities and high speed internet!! Awesome, considering I have to have internet for school! The crazy thing is, the girl that is living in that apartment just got engaged and is moving out at the end of August. I plan on leaving at the end of September. What are the odds??? So, here is my hang up... Matt. A while back it was no big deal to leave because it just seemed Matt and I would never move on in our relationship. I really love to be with him and he is my best friend. Now, it's just harder because of that reason. We fit together really well, we know everything about one another, we have the most fun together, we look at life the same way, we have the same morals and values, but Matt owns his home here, and he doesn't want to leave Cedar. If I ever finish school I can't do Interior Design here. SO...now my life is all mixed up. So... if any of you have advice PLEASE leave a comment and let me know your opinion. I have to let my brother know if I accept the job by next week!
