New home

SO, WE STARTED LOOKING, ONE DAY HUBBY FOUND A TRAILER PARK WITH A TRAILER FOR SALE, A FIXER UPPER, & SO WE APPLIED, & GOT ACCEPTED, & PURCHASED IT. O, IT NEEDED LOTS OF WORK, BUT WE DIDN'T MIND, IT WAS OURS. IT WAS HOME. HUBBY STARTED ON IT RIGHT AWAY. ALL THE WATER PIPES IN THE TRAILER, & I DO MEAN ALL, WERE BUSTED, SO THAT WAS HIS FIRST THING ON HIS LIST.....I CLEANED. BOY, THAT PLACE WAS FILTHY! BY THE TIME I WAS DONE, THERE WAS LOAD AFTER LOAD OF TRASH! BUT, I GOT IT ALL! :-) THEN, WE WERE GONNA START ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR, THERE WERE HOLES IN IT, SO WE HAD TO REPLACE IT, BUT BEFORE THAT COULD BE DONE, WE HAD TO GET A WATER HEATER. MY HUSBAND FIXED THAT AS WELL, GOT ME A WASHING MACHINE, I WAS TICKLED!! I COULD TAKE BATHS, DO LAUNDRY! COOK, DO DISHES! IT WAS ALL COMING TOGETHER....& THEN, JUNE 29TH HAPPENED. IT WAS A HUGE STORM, DAMAGED A LOT IN OUR AREA, INCLUDING DESTROYING OUR HOME & EVERYTHING IN IT. LUCKILY HUBBY WASN'T HOME, BUT ME & OUR ANIMALS WERE, & I GOTTA TELL YA, IT WAS TERRIFYING! A LOT OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE PRESS, HAVE ASKED ME WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE. WELL, THE BEST WAY I CAN DESRIBE IT IS TO SAY IT SOUNDED AS IF A HUGE GIANT WAS WALKING ON OUR HOME & SMASHING EVERYTHING IN HIS WAY! I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.....EVERY ROOM I WENT INTO COLLAPSED ON ME! IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE.....I HAD NO WHERE TO GO, COULDN'T GET OUTSIDE BECAUSE THERE WERE TREES BLOCKING THE EXITS....SO, I SANK DOWN IN THE HALLWAY WITH MY ANIMALS, PRAYED, & AWAITED MY FATE. THEN IT STOPPED....LOL. LOOKING BACK ON IT NOW, I THINK IT'S KINDA FUNNY....ONCE I 'ACCEPTED' MY, WHAT I THOUGHT AT THE TIME, DEMISE, THEN IT STOPS.....HOW CRUEL THE FATES ARE SOMETIMES! BUT, ME & THE ANIMALS WERE OKAY, MIRACLE MIRACLE, & WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT SAFELY ONCE THE POLICE & FIREMEN ARRIVED & CUT AWAY THE TREES BLOCKING OUR EXITS. I WILL CONTINUE LATER.....

crazy happenings! Continued

so, I really liked the RV. I feel it got me & my Husband a 100 percent closer! We knew it would either make us or break us, & thankfully, it turned out good. sometimes, when there are too many distractions; work, kids, friends, relatives, etc..., we seem to forget our most important & vital relationships....or they get put on the back burner, so to speak, & that's what I had been doing to my Husband. putting everybody,(mainly kids), & everything over him, & that was completely wrong on my part, & a huge error. because now I see how very important he is to me, how much he seems to love me way more than anyone else around me does & is always giving unselfishly to me. So, we lived in the RV for a year, got totally close, as a marriage should be, & then decided we should look for a real home. It's not that the RV living wasn't doable anymore, but with 3 dogs & 3 cats, we knew we needed more room...lol

crazy happenings!

WELL, IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE I LAST BLOGGED! WOW! SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED! I DON'T KNOW WHY MY DUMB CAPS ARE LOCKED?? CAN'T FIX IT! ANYWAY, I GUESS I'LL TRY & GET CAUGHT UP WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED! FOR STARTERS, WE SOLD OUR HOME, & MOVED INTO AN RV FOR A WHILE. A YEAR ACTUALLY. IT WAS JUST ME, HUBBY & THE ANIMALS. IT WAS VERY COZY.....I REALLY LIKED IT ACTUALLY, & SOMETIMES MISS IT :-( ,BUT, LIFE MOVES ON & GOD CHOOSES DIFFERENT PATHS FOR YOUR LIFE & YOU JUST GO WITH IT.
