Where do I begin.....

Wow....it's been awhile huh? Things have been very busy lately....but things have been really good!

Last time I wrote I was talking about my husband calling me and being disappointed about something. Well....as always...things worked out the way they should. God has really blessed our lives.

With Mike being gone all the time we spend ALOT of money on hotels. We have been talking alot lately about getting a 5th wheel or a travel trailer....but of course for one of those you need a truck to pull it! =) So first things first....we started looking around at trucks. Mike has had his car for less than a year...but we decided it was best to trade it in before the Mustang because we are almost done paying it off and it will really help boost my credit....plus we'd like to keep it as a run-a-round vehicle. Well Mike ended up finding his dream truck but it didn't look like we were going to be approved for it and he was really down about it. BUT....things ended up working out and he was able to get the truck he really wanted...and deserves. The truck he ended up getting is a 2006 black Ford F-250 Harley Davidson. It is sooooo nice. Now of course...we really didn't need something this nice to pull a 5th wheel with....but it is what Mike really wanted and like I said he deserves it. He works really hard and I am glad things worked out for him (us). =)

Now...the deal was that Mike could get his dream truck and I could get the 5th wheel that I wanted. We are both very close with our families...therefore I wanted a 5th wheel that had an extra bedroom for when guest come over to stay the night. We looked around and I found the perfect one for us. About 2 weeks after Mike got his truck....I got my 5th wheel! =)

The one we got is a 2006 Cardinal LE. It's considered a 36 ft....but it really is closer to 40ft head to toe. It has everything I wanted...plus more. It has an extra bedroom that can sleep up to 4 people...plus the extra bedroom has it's own half bath and entertainment center for a TV. The 5th wheel has a couch that makes out into a bed, a kitchen table that turns into a bed, a full kitchen, TV & Entertainment Center in the living room area.....with surround sound and a radio/cd/dvd player, and it even has a washer and dryer on board. The mater bedroom has another bathroom with a shower and a king size bed...and it too has a place for a TV. Total....the RV can sleep about 10 people....it has two bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths! It's perfect.

Now.....did we have to have such a nice, new 5th wheel to live in....no.....but God has been good to us. I can't begin to tell you how much it feels like "home" to us. We were spending sooooo much money a month on hotels....and it was very hard living like that. Now I can actually cook for us. And to make things even better...we are spending the same amount a month...and now we will be paying something off to own. Living apart half the week can be hard....and it's been a long time since we felt that we had a "home" ...... but things have changed since we got the RV. We do have a home now....it may not be your "traditional" home.....but that doesn't matter to us.... home is where you make it. =)

















What next?! Lol....

Well....a couple of weeks ago I got to see one of my "girls" from College Station get married. Now when I say one of my girls....what I mean is....When I was working at Systek .....YUCK.....I was the office manager and I was in charge of hiring all the office staff. I ended up hiring some very special ladies while I worked there....they weren't only my employees...they were my friends. So when I say one of my "girls" ..... I am either referring to Sarah, Melody, Tory, or Danielle. And in this case...I am referring to Tory. =)

Tory & Chris were united in marriage on June 10th. It was such a beautiful wedding. And I have to agree with Melody....Tory was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. Her dress was gorgeous....and perfect for her.

I really enjoyed getting to see Tory, Melody, and Sarah again. Danielle was unable to make it and I really missed her! Before the wedding Melody went out to eat with Mike and I. We have such a good time with her and as always the conversations flow. Mel....thanks for hanging out with Mike and I before hand....we had a great time!

Here are some pictures from that night.....Congratulations Tory & Chris.... may God bless your marriage and your lives together!
