A step toward RV Central

Okay, okay, it's been a while, don't nag. So much has happened, but I'll just tell you where we are now and where we're heading soonish. We ended up in small-town USA after Trent retired from the Navy, and here we are three years later, and is anyone surprised that we are itching to move again!? Guess that comes from never being too stationary while he was playing reindeer games for Uncle Sam. Soooo, he has a really great job with Siemens - loves it, loves traveling to different places, working on (yeah, I get a glazed over expression when he starts talking about what he actually does). So we've decided that we're going to sell the house, buy an RV and travel where ever it is that he needs to go for a job. He's been coast to coast and everywhere in between since taking this position. And my job hasn't changed, I still work from the spare bedroom in my pjs, so it won't be that difficult to take it on the road.

Today we sold his truck because we won't be able to tow it behind the RV. That money pays off the credit card and one of my student loans, and puts some in savings for last minute repairs/maintenance on the house before putting it on the market. I have to tell you that selling the truck was All God. We prayed about selling it for a few weeks. Finally settled on doing it. The man took it in for a good washing and detailing yesterday and brought it home quick like so we could take pictures of it before the torrential rains started (ain't that the way it always goes when you take the car to the car wash?!). I posted it on FB hoping to get some local bites, and then for giggles, we decided to put it on Craigslist, and I did notice that it was pretty high priced compared to some of the other vehicles being posted, but hey, it's free to post. Off to bed we went, only to wake up this morning to ten emails of people begging to take the truck off our hands. We had to figure out right quick how to accept cashier's check or whatever, how to transfer the paperwork, and Oh yeah, where did we put the title again?! So the morning was spent responding to folks, setting up appointments, talking to the notary, and prayer asking God to show us the right person. The first guy that wanted to see it came, drove it, crawled under it, in it, all around it, and offered us a price that was $200 less than what we posted it for, which was actually $200 more than what we expected to sell it for. So I throw up a silent prayer and asked God if this was the man we were supposed to sell it. The man says I have cash. Well yes Lord, I think you're right, this is the man!!

So today we are one step closer to getting the RV, pretty exciting stuff if you ask me!
