We came, we saw, we left without an Airstream

I'm starting to feel like Goldilocks. One Airsteam we looked at was too small, another too expensive, and another was just a big DIY disaster! Major letdown, but I guess it is good for us to see the gamut of Airstreams out there. I think knowing what you don't want helps you figure out what you do want.




We do NOT want a small Airstream! Now we know for sure we have to have a 31ft. I was honestly considering smaller ones until we looked at some 23-25ft trailers. The smaller ones are much more boat-like than I had thought.The first one we looked at was a 23ft and let me tell you as soon as I walked in I thought "OMG what were we thinking... I can't do this!" One look at the bathroom in the 23ft and I knew there was no way we could live in something that small! The 25ft was a little better and the 31ft that we looked at felt way more comfortable! So no Airstream yet, but we have a much better idea of what we are looking for now. 


I was just informed that there is a man digging up my front yard with a backhoe. I'll let you know how that goes... 

We have had yet another hiccup in the sale of our house. Our buyers original lender denied their loan because of a recent change in their place of employment. Tim called with the bad news on Tuesday. The possibility of having to re-stage the house and put it back on the market seems horribly daunting, but I wasn’t that upset. With the tales of my previous panic attacks, this may seem like a contradiction, but I am actually a pretty optimistic person. Sure, I have moments of doubt (where I cry, and it all quite dramatic) but most of the time I’m fairly certain everything is going to be okay. By Thursday our buyers had a new lender and we had signed another addendum extending the contract a bit. So see, no worries!
