Hello loyal followers and blog lurkers! It appears that we have had a monkey wrench thrown into the works. No, no we did not float away from all the rain, nor did we get swept away to Oz by the 60 mph winds. Although Mother nature is certainly raining on our parade. For every one day of sun we get 4 days of rain. If that isn't bad enough, the universe has also decided to give us a mighty blow.
On Sunday, James was dropping Jorden off at work and getting ready to get some gas when our van (and one and only form of transportation) made a horrific sound and then refused to move. The transmission went out. Really? Seriously? That totally bites! So now we are borrowing a friend's car. James and friend were going to put in a new transmission this weekend, BUT James just got a new job, started today and found out he has to work ALL WEEKEND and straight through until next Saturday ! Yay for the job and increased funds for the RV project, but boo for working 10 days in a row when there are so many things to be done.
This newest development puts us back a bit of time, at least two weeks because we have to wait for James to get the van fixed AND get time off to work on the things that need to be done. I guess we really shouldn't complain because we have accomplished a lot since the RV project got rolling in December. We just need to remember that everything happens for a reason. Maybe this was just a way for us to step back into the now and give us some time to recharge (as much as you can working 10 days in a row) before diving back into the RV projects.
Whatever the reason, I'm sure we will find out in due time. Until then we keep pinching our pennies and pulling ourselves up by the boot straps. Before you know it the time for us to roll outta here and on to our new adventure. I'll be sure to post updates as soon as we have something new to report.
Have a good one!
