We've made it

We are official residents of Midland now. It sure has been an adventure getting here. Today the movers will meet us at 9 to unload the Uhaul truck. Then we can return it and get to life as usual. Well, I guess there is no "Life as usual" anymore, since life has changed. Living out of an RV will be interesting to say the least. We had major drama finding a park, but it all worked out in the end. I'll have to write about it in detail when I have time. Right now I just don't.

We are in corporate housing also. We are not staying in the RV until I get it put together and organized, plus we have to buy chemicals and so forth. Oh yeah, I need to go buy a mattress topper for our bed so that it will raise the comfort level. We have never slept in there, but that mattress is not good quality.

RV Living...revisited

If you have been following me, you know that last year we had plans to move into an RV and stay for a while. Well, those plans fell through as the person who we got the RV from sold it out from under us.

Yesterday we finalized the purchase of a new travel trailer, our own, brand new. Since Chris has gotten this new job offer in Midland, we have been unable to find a house. We secured an apartment, but being locked into a year long lease was not our idea of a good time. Wait, did I mention how EXPENSIVE an apartment in Midland is? How about the price of a house? It is goofy stupid high.

So, we are going to stay in our RV for a while until we find a house. Even then, having the RV will allow us to travel with Chris and his work. He may be assigned to different areas for weeks at a time.

We will be moving into this new RV next week...will be living there full time starting next Saturday.
